Pros:

Location was amazing! Perfect for walking everywhere in Old Portland. We could walk to the majority of our destinations within 10 minutes. Valet parking was $35/night with 24/7 service and cheaper than parking options in the area ($9/hour).

Cons:

I had a weird bill from the hotel that my credit card flagged as fraud, which created stress as we were getting ready to check out. Manager on duty was unhelpful and unfriendly. Customer service skills could use some work.

Rigid Policies and Poor Spa Customer Service
Pros:

My wife and a friend were forced to miss their scheduled spa appointments due to unforeseen travel delays. When they arrived to explain the situation and request a reschedule, they were met with a front desk attendant who was dismissive and entirely unwilling to assist.

Despite the circumstances, the spa charged the full amount for both appointments. While I understand cancellation policies, there is a clear distinction between a "no-show" and a client arriving late due to an emergency, seeking a solution. We received zero flexibility and even less empathy.

Bottom Line:

* Service: The front desk spa admin person lacks the basic interpersonal skills required for a luxury hospitality environment.

* Policy: A total lack of grace regarding travel-related issues is short-sighted and unprofessional.

We will not be returning, nor do we recommend this establishment.

Great place to stay fantastic customer service, friendly atmosphere
Pros:

What a great time we had here. The check-in experience was friendly and easy. Went for happy hour to the armory and saw Adam again who made us some fantastic drinks and the food was great along with the conversation with him. Later thatevening we went to the iron side bar to see the amazing Liz. We love her with her knowledge of bourbons and scotches and tequila. My place to have a great bourbon. Then onto breakfast. The next morning we were cheerfully greeted by Margaret and seated and waited on by john. We had a great breakfast and very attentive service. Would highly recommend this place to anybody. Even out front, we see the same Bellmen whose name is Christian and Mike, they were very professional and courteous. Great shuttle driver as well. See you guys again soon.
