Worth the cost if downtown Portland is your goal.
Pros:

I made two requests and the staff delivered! Staff were professional and courteous. Valet parking was very convenient. And the property is within staggering distance of excellent dining and sightseeing options for downtown Portland. And the views from the 6th story were stunning!

Pay for parking hold
Pros:

Location, staff at valet parking, room location.

Cons:

Charges for stay hold of 50 nite for parking/charges. There is no other option for parking so why charge so much. I've parked in other cities in Maine and Boston and was only charged 30 nite. Inflation is outrageous when you already own the space.
