My stay at the hotel was simply fantastic! The rooms were incredibly spacious with a cozy fireplace, a super comfortable king-sized bed, and a large TV streaming Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Roku. The only downside was having to use the air conditioner instead of enjoying fresh air through a window. The bathroom was beautifully designed with no step-up into the toilet area, covered in elegant Ellie Cashman wallpaper.

The hotel creates a truly magical realm with a sexy LA-ish vibe, velvet couches, and modern lounge music, offering unique cocktails and a lovely breakfast. However, the room could get too hot at night even with the heat turned down.

Wow! This hotel was such a magical experience with its cozy and beautifully designed rooms filled with comfortable seating and gorgeous artwork. However, it's a shame that it needed a thorough cleaning, as we found a used tissue under the bed upon arrival. The unique atmosphere created by the velvets, colored lighting, and craft cocktails made up for it all.

The hotel had a mixed experience with the rooms being spacious, clean, and comfortable, although slightly outdated compared to the chic main areas. Locating the place was a bit challenging, and the room prices were on the higher side. However, the service was outstanding with friendly and helpful staff. The location was perfect for exploring Portland, within walking distance of major attractions and top restaurants. The dining experience was very tasty, especially in the morning, with a unique touch, but there were no gourmet pizzas available. The facilities were well-maintained and satisfying.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms had a sexier LA-ish vibe with velvet couches and ambient modern lounge music, but the bathroom definitely needed some renovation. The service was top-notch; they helped whenever needed and were extremely knowledgeable about the best locations to visit in Portland, Maine. The location was convenient, allowing for short distance strolls to the arts district and old port despite the drizzles, and it was perfect for walking to any part of Portland without being too close to the busy downtown area. The dining, while offering several choices each morning and well-prepared meals, may not be to everyone's liking. Overall, a decent stay with some room for improvement.
