“The location on the waterfront is a definite advantage, placing guests near Portland's historic district and providing appealing water views, although some rooms may need attention. With meeting facilities and proximity to local businesses, the hotel targets business travelers, yet inconsistent service standards can detract from the experience; families may find the indoor pool a plus. In my opinion, this property has potential, but needs improvements to ensure a consistently positive stay.”
