Quick getaway

I booked this hotel for a quick overnight. The staff was super nice and the food in the hotel was fabulous. The hot tub was perfect. It was located right off the highway and had lots of shopping local. Overall, this was a great stay.

Better than I expected

I picked this hotel because of the convenient location and we were meeting up with friends who were staying in the area. Honestly the first thing we were looking for was an indoor pool. The next thing I noticed was the fantastic price. I have to admit I booked first and then read some online reviews and was a bit leery of exactly what I would find at check in. The lobby was welcoming and clean. The front desk staff was very friendly and accomodating. They were willing to meet a last minute request for adjoining rooms and seemed happy to do it for us. The restaurant food was excellent and the wait staff were friendly. I would not hesitate to stay there again.

Foodie Weekend

A group of us were meeting up in York on Saturday, so we decided to have a night in Portland, what an incredible city, who knew that Porland has the 2nd amount of restaurants per capita (San Francisco is #1) I got an incredible deal for the room and upon registration they gave each of us a whoopie pie (love it). The hotel price also included breakfast. No it is not the fanciest hotel, but it is clean, well maintained, they have a restaurant and lounge. We were there in the winter so we did not get to use pool. I would definitely go back.

Go down to the old port area and ask the clerks at the different retail shops. If you like art, it is everywhere, if you go in the winter, wear a hat-it is cold!!!

Anniversary weekend away.

The hotel was very clean and the beds were very comfortable. We did not expect the hotel to be located in a very busy section of Portland. The picture of the hotel let us to believe this was in a country setting. It was nice over all though. We would stay there again.

Comfortable bed, Nice Bathroom, clean.

The Hotel has lots of attractions. Nice Pool and grounds. The room is clean, and comfortable. The bathroom was clean. The only problem was that they forgot to put soap in the bathroom and there was no coffee pot to go along with the coffee machine in the room. Staff was friendly and attentive. I would stay there again. The Price was reasonable for Memorial day weekend. Very Small Pillows was the only bad thing.
