Baldwin Vacation Packages

The Docent’s Collection at 121 Middle Street is a very good hotel. The room is clean and roomy with all amenities provided even though we didn’t use many of the kitchen utensils or cook ware. The staff was responsive and provided fast service and gave us a big water every day. The only thing that I knocked off one star from the review is the hotel doesn’t have a service staff on premise full time. Some late request was delayed until the staff comes to the premise at 8AM. The parking is pretty expensive at $60/day but we just parked the car in the 2 nearby public parking structures for either $20/day or $38/day. It was only 5 min walk from the parking structure to the hotel.

Wonderful staff, convenient location, fun stay in an old building. So much character with modern amenities and a neighborhood feel. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will return. Off-street parking was a huge bonus and the light breakfast had a wide spread. Such a wonderful property.

Centrally located in the Old Port, with views of the harbor, this was a last minute — therefore pricey — excellent find for a fall weekend getaway. Stylish, elegant rehab of 19th century granite industrial building. Whimsical decor notes referring to 19th century owner Evalina Fox. Nicely appointed kitchenette — though if you came to Portland for the foodie scene, you might end up just using it for breakfast, as we did. Only sour note was the disco music (coming in via the ventilation system?) from a nearby establishment audible during business hours. Well, if you pick a hotel in the middle of things, you get the noise and bustle that comes from being in the middle of things. That said, we’d come again, but shoot for a penthouse/upper floor unit farther from the street-level mania.
