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

Sufficient for a one night stay because it was very close to wedding venue
Pros:

Location, staff, cleanliness, breakfast

Cons:

For a rate of over $600/night, the room was only average. Clean with all the amenities but just dated. Not good value and parking and breakfast were additional costs.

Amazing Staff
Pros:

We were blown away by the level of service at this hotel. When bad weather forced us to cancel the schooner for my daughter’s wedding, Kylie and the staff immediately stepped in with thoughtful alternatives and flawless execution.
The Hotel lounge, restaurant area created a beautiful indoor celebration that felt every bit as special as the original plan. Their professionalism, warmth, and attention to detail turned a stressful situation into a perfect day. We are deeply grateful and highly recommend this hotel.
Kylie was amazing from start to finish making sure our weekend for the wedding was special for us. From getting us checked in a little early, toasting our bagels for the girls while they were getting ready, to bringing up coffee and condiments to go with the bagels. We could not have asked for more.
