Polar Express Weekend
The room was great, a couple issues, the bathroom sink did not drain well & the ceiling shower head only about half of the holes let water out. I couldn't find a pillow combination that worked for me, but that is more personal than a hotel issue. So convenient to the Narrow Gauge RR for the Polar Express. Not a bad walk to restaurants. Wish the hotel had a restaurant or a bar open earlier in the day.

My family and I stayed at this hotel for two nights while exploring Portland, Maine. For the most part, our experience was enjoyable. The room was spacious and well-maintained, and the lobby and common areas had a welcoming and relaxing atmosphere. Initially, we felt the hotel deserved a 5-star rating. Unfortunately, an incident on our second night significantly impacted our perception.After a pleasant evening out, we returned to the hotel to unwind. My 6-year-old son noticed the snack area near the front desk and was excited to see his favorite treat—vanilla Häagen-Dazs ice cream. We purchased it for him and went back to our room. When he opened it, he complained that it was too hard, so he began chipping away at it with his spoon. At first, I assumed it was just frozen solid. However, moments later, he began gagging and said, “It doesn’t taste good.” This was surprising, as he loves vanilla ice cream and rarely complains about it. Curious, I tasted it myself and was shocked to find that it was spoiled. The flavor and texture made it clear that the ice cream had thawed and refrozen at some point, compromising its quality. Unfortunately, the damage had already been done. My son’s stomach reacted poorly to the spoiled ice cream, and he suffered from diarrhea throughout the night. This unexpected situation cut our trip short, as we decided to head home to ensure he received proper care.

The staff was welcoming and accommodating. The breakfast buffet provided a large array of tempting choices. The gym was well equipped but featured loud music making the facility unpleasant to use. The location couldn't be better for exploring dining, shopping and sightseeing options.

Terrific location and central to Old Port
Terrific location and loved our view of the water and cruise ships. We had booked the day before as we were arriving at 2am. Despite a 1am text saying our room was ready (we preconformed online our arrival time) there was no one at reception. A manager went searching in lieu of checking us in himself. I saw him come out of the women's rr and then shortly a woman showed up who was clearly not a happy camper. (Assuming he opened the door and called in to find her.) She presented as rather short and rude; we asked about where some things were and she very vaguely gestured. Didn't let us know where elevators were. No dialog really. We found out near end of stay that there was coffee and breakfast available on first floor. I am sure it was an anomaly. We also had one interaction where we saw a cleaning person who insisted on cleaning room despite us saying we were leaving in a few minutes. She then straightened the sheets but did not provide clean sheets and replenished towels. No sweeping or other cleaning appeared to have been done during our stay. Despite these moments we would certainly stay here again and try to get the same view room on the six floor.

Perfection. Mind you, I was not paying $600/night in summertime. But for under $300 off-season, it was a great deal. Gorgeous hotel. We were just in and out for a jazz concert, but the breakfast and the bar looked great. $25/24hr parking right across the street at the ferry landing. (Or $40 for valet, or free on street after 6pm).

The room design is strange either bathroom mirror in a strange position. - bad lighting - shower leaked into the toilet area because the showers door does not close and the shower head is aimed toward the edge of the shower door! Looks like everything is designed to have square lines instead of functional- location good free coffee but $18 for all or nothing breakfast
