The lobby bar has a pool table, Xbox, card and board games, plenty to do while having a drink before going out for the evening. Rooms are modern and comfortable. Walking distance to some of the best dinning in the country in the cozy and beautiful historic Old Port district of Portland, Maine.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
My stay was nice overall. The lobby was clean upon arrival, even though there was a lot of salt outside the entrance. The room was spacious and very clean, which I really appreciated. The staff who assisted me with both check-in and check-out were great as well. The only minor issue I experienced was at the snack bar. An item was labeled at $6, but when I went to the front desk to pay, I was charged over $8. When I asked about the price difference, the staff mentioned that the exact item wasn’t in their system yet, which is why they couldn’t ring it up correctly. I pointed out that the price was the same as the water, and they adjusted it afterward. While it was resolved, I found it a bit concerning that I could have been overcharged for a simple drink if I hadn’t checked the price.
