Really excellent property. Deducted a star due to unexpected add on fees and not able to utilize outdoor amenities because of a private weeklong event. No concession offered for that.

The elevator is out of service, so I had to take the stairs to the 4th floor every day. I also noticed inconsistent pricing at the bar—on one day, I was charged a certain amount for a drink, but on another day, I was charged more for the exact same drink. Breakfast was just okay. The coffee was lukewarm, and the breakfast burrito only had eggs and tortillas, even though the menu said it included potatoes. When I asked about it, I was told the potatoes were in the burrito, but they weren’t. On a positive note, the staff was good, and the room was clean.

You are paying for location here. And the location is great, with very easy access to Old Port and a huge boon. BUT, you are PAYING. The $45 a day valet service to have your car parked at an unmonitored exterior public lot is egregious. As is the $35 amenity or resort fee. The staff were wonderful both in attitude and capability. Food was solid and the bar and outdoor area with the firepit were great. The lobby was great to laze about with coffee. The room was meh. Clean and comfortable but the bathroom had poor lighting and no fan. And the laminate flooring looks, feels and sounds cheap.

Elevator not working. For a hotel totaling $600/night there is no excuse for this. Got notification from my Amex that I was also charged for two instead of one night of deposit. I now feel so uncomfortable about this place. I am told it will come out tomorrow when I check out.

The first couple of nights the noise and music outside lasted til way past midnight making it difficult to sleep. The heavy weight of the room doors cause a huge slamming noise every time you go in and out. When neighbors are coming home all hours of the night, it literally jolts you out of bed! On our first morning there the one and ONLY elevator to the guest rooms broke and was never fixed our entire 4 day stay. All we got from the front desk was apologies for the inconvenience. Since our room was on the 4th floor we had to climb and descend 4 flights of stairs every time we came and went. It is literally ridiculous for a hotel of this stature to have only one accessible elevator to all guest floors. How does this meet code? Our bags had to be brought down on the “dumb waiter” the morning we left. For the price this hotel charges, you would expect a lot more. Next time we visit Portland we will find alternative lodging.

The elevator did not work, so we had to haul luggage up and down stairs. The staff was sorry, and realize this stuff happens. I think complimentary drink would have been a nice gesture. Also, fir the price of the hotel, it would be nice to have a coffee maker in the room

The staff was very friendly and helpful. And the room was very clean. The only complaint we had was the elevator was broken all three days we were there. Having rheumatoid arthritis made it hard to go up and down the stairs.
