Friendly staff and good location! We had requested a crib in advance, and even though they ran out of cribs, the staff went out of their way to accommodate and bought a pack n play for our baby to sleep in. Overall, happy with our stay!

The property was a basic hotel. No AC really in the hallways of the rooms. Laundry only on the 11th floor. No water pressure on the 11th floor. Toilet seat was so loose, tried to fix but fastens didn’t even fit the toilet. AC in the room only worked if you were inside the room. Coming back to a warm room after a day of sweating isn’t idea. The bed was good and the TV worked.

Trip to see the Sea Dogs play
Every year we go to Portland to see the Portland Sea Dogs play baseball, and for the last 3 years we've stayed at the HI Portland by the Bay. The location is the big draw. This year we had trouble getting into our room upon check in, but Cynthia, a member of the housekeeping team, used her secret powers and got us in. She was very pleasant. Also, a man at the front desk (didn't get his name, wore a green tie) was also very helpful and personable. We will return.
