10/10 Exceptional

Great location near shops, restaurants and water front yet our apartment was exceptionally quiet from outside noises. (Inner pipes would make a noise sometimes but by closing the bedroom door we didn't hear them from the bedroom). Clean design lines made for a sophisticated look yet the space was warm and welcoming. Well stocked kitchen with everything we needed for a few days of cooking, allowing us to enjoy great meals at home and save money by not eating out for every meal. Very comfortable bed was a plus! We would love to stay here again - it was great value for money.

Great location. Spacious. Very clean. Just had issues with the check in process but we are old. I just want a good ol’fashioned key card. I don’t want to be trying to download an app to get into my room.

Excellent space, so easy to access. Which there was a tiny bit more instruction on how to access the property and set up TV for streaming as the WiFi wasn’t working when we stayed. The space was beautiful, quiet and easily walkable to all of old port. Would stay again anytime!

6/10 Good

This is in a great location and room was very spacious. Blind in bedroom was broken in down position so it was always dark in there. You are supposed to download an app that requires “always on” connection to Bluetooth to get in, but someone was available to give us card keys instead.

10/10 Exceptional

The space was amazing. Equipped with everything we needed. The beds were super comfortable and the unit was very clean. This was our second stay at the Docents Collection and we will definitely stay here again. There was a very minor inconvenience with the freezer door - it didn't close all the way so all the ice was melted into one blob and we had to go out to get ice.

10/10 Exceptional

Fantastic place to stay when visiting Portland. The location can't be beat -- within a couple of blocks to the ferry terminal and Old Town shops and restaurants. The building is next to a police station and my family and I felt very safe. The unit was immaculate, modern, and fully equipped. Onsite parking was a huge bonus, as was the friendly and helpful staff. I would, without hesitation, stay at The Docent's Collection again.

Clean, great location and very well stocked kitchen. Very quiet inside too. All in all a very relaxing, functional and convenient place to stay while in Portland - if you are looking for a self sufficient stay.
