The facility is clean and very stylish. The staff were kind and supportive. The bartenders were all amazing. Overall a great place. My only negative is the breakfast. It's mainly microwaved to go items. So I would avoid eating there. There are some great breakfast places walking distance in the area. Portland is a great food place.

The staff was super friendly on arrival and departing, the room was clean, neat, great city view, and it was a two minute walk to a great cappuccino at radial coffee. And I felt comfortable leaving my car in the parking garage.

The lobby bar has a pool table, Xbox, card and board games, plenty to do while having a drink before going out for the evening. Rooms are modern and comfortable. Walking distance to some of the best dinning in the country in the cozy and beautiful historic Old Port district of Portland, Maine.
