In addition to a great room and view of rhe bay, having a shuttle to transport you to different places in the downtown area of Portland was wonderful. The hotel is located in a perfect spot and within walking distance to so many restaurants and shops. The only thing I wish they had included in our stay was breakfast.

This hotel was great and we enjoyed our stay. It is in the perfect location- close to Old Port but in a quiet area so you can sleep at night. They even have electric bikes complimentary for guests which were so easy to use and allowed us to see more of Old Port since we didn’t have a car. We really loved our stay here and would recommend it!
