What a great find! We had a wonderful stay on our mother/daughter road trip, stopped in Portland for 2 nights. The front desk staff was so welcoming/friendly. Our room was perfect, very clean and comfortable. We stayed in a king room with private bathroom, so spacious!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
The room and facilities were clean and comfortable. The breakfast area was a little cramped. There is no elevator, and as we are in our 80s the hotel nicely upgraded our room to the 2nd floor instead of the 3rd. Room was cozy.

Would stay again! I’m one to be skeptical of small, local hotels when traveling, but this place was excellent & I felt safe. Great option to indulge in the “New England” culture while visiting Portland. Staff was friendly. We went with the private bathroom. The private bathroom was a few doors down from our room, & we were provided comfortable robes for showering. The bathroom can be locked with your room key. 10/10 Recommend!

Convenient location and parking facilities, clean and comfortable. Loved the style and furnishings of the room. Good value for money. Breakfast adequate but would have appreciated some fresh fruit salad. Nice selection of teas.

Nice hotel for a quick stay

Pretty good hotel just outside of downtown. Fairly commutable with buses nearby if you're not driving because you're very drunk from all the craft beers Portland can offer. desk employees were super nice and the breakfast was passable when everyone is realistically going for local donuts and coffee. But the coffee service being 24/7 at the lobby is nice
