Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. While the rooms were spacious, clean, and comfortable as promised, they felt a bit dated and not too clean when I first checked in. The service was impeccable with extremely friendly and helpful staff, but there were some disturbances like banging carts and noise in the spa area. The location was central to Portland's Old Port, within walking distance to many shops and restaurants, but the common areas seemed a bit dated. The dining experience was outstanding, especially in the outdoor garden cafe when the weather allowed it, with wonderful organic Quebec cheeses. Overall, a good value for money stay with some minor drawbacks that didn't overshadow the positives of the hotel.
