Loved the location. Right across from the wharf. Unfortunately, also across from a homeless encampment. Didn’t feel unsafe, more a sadness for those less fortunate.

Maggie P. was pleasantly helpful at the front desk. The hotel was very conveniently situated in Old Port walking area for restaurants, shops, and near the piers. The breakfast was ok, I wouldn't do it for multiple days though, there are many breakfast options to try around in walking distance, we did the add on cooked to order option. The room was very spacious, we had 2 queen beds and a sitting area. The pool, gym, and hot tub were basic, we toured it, but didn't utilize them. We had a qiuet night, barely heard other guest in the halls or side by side. The location was key. I would stay there again. Valet parking was expensive, but very convenient. We didn't want to deal with self parking in an area we were unfamiliar with. In and our privilege is nice if you have places to drive to, but once again that particular area is so walkable.

Margaret Poisson, service manager consistently checked to ensure our stay was enjoyable . The valet team extremely efficient & very attentive, especially Aime, and I didnt see the name tag of the other very concerned valet (young man, red hair, beard, smaller stature)who checked our tire...just outstanding. The dining room staff impeccable. The breakfast chef's attention to detail was top tier. Amber one of the servers was a treasure, a true standout as well as Sylvia in dining. All the staff were very prompt, courteous, professional, and informative. It was a stellar experience. It was our first visit to the Waterfront Portland OldPort, Maine property. My husband and I were extremely pleased. I definitely see us returning. Thank you!
