The website "City View" is misleading.
Pros:

Our stay was good. but the view was not what the Booking.com website indicated it was City View."

Cons:

Our view was the alley and not the city view.

We found our hotel in Portland, and this is it.
Pros:

This was our second stay in this beautiful hotel located 5 miles/15 minutes from the Portland International Jetport. The rooms were very comfortable. The view from the waterview rooms is incredibly beautiful and worth the reservation. There are several restaurants and shops within walking distance. Turn left out of the hotel, keep walking down the sidewalk, and you will see the Maine Narrow Gauge Railroad and will also be on the popular and paved Eastern Promenade Trail. Use a birding app on your phone to pick up calls from a variety of interesting birds.

Truly a great place to be in Portland
Pros:

The best part of this property was Maggie. She was who I met first and was so glad I did. She was super nice, always smiling, happy to do anything you asked her to do. She even left us a sticky note either points of interest to check out. Room service was excellent too

Cons:

I hated that I had to leave. Just a wonderful experience
