"Very stylish, clean, and comfortable hotel. We typically stay in the Oldport section of Portland but it was really nice to explore other areas. Lots of restaurants, bars, and coffee shops in the area. The hotel bar and coffee shop are great and very convenient. Look for those week day deals. Very affordable "
