This is an upscale hotel in a historic old armory that was converted to a hotel. It is in perhaps the most historic section of Portland, walkable to just about everything. In fact, our only "wheels" used during our 3-day stay was to shuttle to and from the train station. Oh...there are 5 trains a day each way between Portland and Boston. It was pricey but so is everything these days. Only down side worth mentioning is that their shuttle does not run between 6:00 AM and 7:30 AM which was when we had to get back to the train station, so we had to take an Uber. Facility was clean, comfortanble, and quiet.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Disappointing, to be totally honest. The hotel just seems like it needs some major investment to bring it up to normal standards of cleanliness and service. Room was dirty, hair throughout (bathroom floor, sheets, towels), carpets liberally stained, mattresses had clearly been replaced with a smaller size mattress but the larger bed platforms remained, and the exposed edges were full of crumbs, dust, hair, etc. Front desk was sometimes staffed, valet parking stand was usually empty and you have to look for someone at the front desk (if present) to contact valet. Under-staffed, in other words. Spa provided good massages, but jacuzzi was closed and the whole thing is on a dank basement floor. Overall it was just unclean and needs help. Location super and totally walkable, but I would not go back, and could not recommend.

The Regency is located in a fantastic central location to all the Old Port has to offer. With clean rooms, a comfortable bed, and intimate spa facilities. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The only downfall we experienced was the Ironside Whiskey Bar was closed our entire stay. Very unfortunate as we were looking forward to experiencing that anemity. Overall very happy with our stay, that fact aside.

They had a complementary shuttle from the airport, which was great. I was a late getting into my room because of a stain on the floor that they couldn’t remove so they ended up replacing a piece of the carpet. They compensated my patience with a $50 gift card to the restaurant in the hotel, which was very nice. I scheduled housekeeping every day but one day they did not come so I had to ask for them to come at 5:30 in the afternoon when I returned to my room. Everyone is very friendly. I did not love the bar downstairs. Didn’t really appreciate getting Mustard and plastic packets at a restaurant bar in the hotel. Also, the whiskey bar was closed which I was very disappointed with. I was looking forward to that! Thank you to Sarah for always being there for me.

We had the best weekend at the Portland Regency. The staff was excellent and went above to help with a few special requests for a wedding celebration. The rooms are great, beds comfy. We only ate breakfast once at the hotel but the food was very good. The location of the hotel is perfect for walking around Old Port- I would highly recommend!!!
