The first stay was lovely… but each one afterwards has been a little less stellar each time. The common areas and rooms are looking worn… the front desk less engaged in the guest experience… housekeeping is hit or miss. This stay is likely my last. I’ll pay a little more for a better experience at another Portland Hotel. ##### Andrew Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Eric Apr 16, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### A Respite in Portland This is a lovely hotel located just outside the busiest part of downtown. That makes it easy to walk to the action (restaurants, the Old Port, the Portland Museum of Art), and have a respite from it. The room was spacious and clean. The bed was comfortable and there was great light during the day. Everything was quite comfortable. The service was gracious and professional. While we didn't have time to visit the bar or the spa, our local friends tell us that they are both great. They are on the list for our next visit. There is no breakfast in the hotel, though there are two specialty coffee shops within a block and a breakfast joint about two blocks away. ##### Eric Stayed 1 night in Apr 2024
