    quiet neighborhood
    comfortable bedding

    would definitely go back

    Located in a quiet neighborhood, but a max 30-minute walk to everything fun. The standard king room was super spacious with comfortable bedding and fresh linens. Loved the modern decor and the split heating system, no noisy fan. They even had healthy instant coffee! Tons of nearby restaurant info provided too!

    coffee shop
    natural light
    convenient location
    parking issue
    noise from neighbors

    I enjoyed grabbing coffee from a shop run by Jocelyne Kamikazi, where the coffee is sourced directly from Burundi. The large windows in my room let in natural light, creating a lovely atmosphere. I also appreciated how convenient it was to explore nearby bakeries and bars without needing to drive anywhere.

    The parking situation was tight, and I found some noise coming from neighboring rooms. I would have liked more privacy at night.

    comfortable beds
    friendly staff
    limited storage

    We had a memorable family stay with my boyfriend! The nearby stadium added excitement, with local teams playing. The cozy beds felt luxurious after busy days, and the staff was always eager to assist us with our needs.

    In my kids' opinion, more storage space would be great.

    automated texts
    value for money

    It was just a reliable pick for a brief weekend stay in Portland with outstanding value for money. The automated texts made it easy to manage parking. Make sure you locate the parking lot ahead of time as it’s not well marked.

    spacious room
    friendly staff

    would stay here again

    Super convenient location! Only a half-hour walk to so many spots. The room was spacious, had a nice seating area and fresh linens. The staff was super friendly, welcomed us with a glass of champagne and gave awesome dinner tips. Plus, there’s a great breakfast spot, Tandem, right across the street.

    attentive staff
    cozy room

    Charming building, attentive staff, with a lovely glass of bubbles at check-in and a cozy room with good Wi-Fi connection, making it a perfect base to explore the city halfway between the train station and the waterfront.

    Not one thing.

    comfy mattress
    sparkling clean bathroom
    creaky floors

    Oh my goodness, the bed was just divine! I mean, after a week in Maine, that comfy mattress really stole the show. The bathroom was so spacious and clean, it practically sparkled!

    However, let’s just say the creaky floors had me wondering if my upstairs neighbor was auditioning for a tap dance contest. And good luck trying to communicate with the staff—it's like playing a game of telephone!

    friendly staff
    clean room
    distance from downtown

    The warmth of the staff upon arrival set a welcoming tone for our stay. The cleanliness of our room was impressive, with not a streak in sight.

    The only downside was the location being slightly farther from downtown than we expected.

    natural light
    spa facilities

    would come again

    The stay had a spacious Standard King Room with air conditioning, a flat-screen TV, and large windows that let in natural light. The bathroom included free toiletries and a hairdryer. Enjoyed the convenience of nearby coffee shops and a bakery across the street. Spa facilities had massages, which were a nice touch.
