It’s a great stay by Casco Bay!
Pros:

I loved the comfy bedding. The view of Casco Bay was great! I also enjoyed how quick the valet was and how nice the indoor pool was kept.

Cons:

I didn’t like how little parking exists without valet.

Perfectly situated near great Portland waterfront area. Rooms were comfortable and clean. Breakfast selection was decent. Staff, especially valet parking staff, was very friendly.

Cons:

Breakfast seating was not enough space. Lacked self park option. Valet parking retrieval was not always timely.

Centrally located & parking
Pros:

We absolutely loved how the hotel was centrally located to a lot of restaurants and shopping. We are walkers and liked each direction we went, we found something to do. Also, we enjoyed the breakfast on the day we left which is complimentary when you stay. In addition to valet- Carter was really helpful for the day we needed our car early from valet- so that day was a plus.

Cons:

I was not keen on the fact that valet was $40 per day, and there was a parking lot across the street that was $20 a day/$30 overnight, and when asked if there was a parking lot nearby there was no response. Additionally, we had to wait a while to get our car from the valet.
