Highlights
Location: Direct waterfront on Commercial Street, steps from Old Port
Views: Rooms with views of Casco Bay and working waterfront
Meeting Space: 1,100 sq ft of flexible conference space
Transport: Complimentary shuttle to airport and local businesses
Dining: Great American Grill with locally-sourced ingredients
Recreation: Indoor heated pool and hot tub open year-round
“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.”
