Portland hotellia

Plussat: Location, old inn charm, gracious and informative innkeeper. Good cooking. Convenient location.

Plussat: Bed was comfy and breakfast ok

Miinukset: Bigger bath and bigger tv

Plussat: Connie was extremely welcoming and friendly. The Inn was spotless and I am EXTREMELY picky about cleanliness. I stayed in the Daisy Room and it was very cozy, comfortable, clean, charming and bright but could darken with the shades if preferred. Connie had all off the necessities in the room plus extras which I have NEVER found in other B&B's or hotels. (I always have to go ask for extras) There were plenty of fluffy, soft towels for showering plus multiple wash clothes and hand towels. There was even toothpaste in case someone forget to bring it as well as a nightlight in the bathroom! It's location is also fantastic. It's 2 blocks from downtown so an easy walk to everything therefore eliminating the need to drive and struggle finding a parking place, The breakfast was delicious and very filling.The morning I was there I had a fruit, yogurt and granola parfait, yummy pumpkin french toast with pure Maine maple syrup and sausage. There was fresh fruit, delicious coffee and multiple choices if tea is your preference also. I highly recommend Candlebay Inn and will definitely stay there again if I'm in Freeport.

Miinukset: That I couldn't have stayed another night or two at this charming Inn

Plussat: A very quaint 1800's era inn, with all of the charm of days gone by. There were wine glasses and a cork screw in the room, as well as a basket with some snacks, simple things that were just a few of the nice touches. A very restful place, and we were made to feel welcome the minute we walked in the front door.

Miinukset: better casual seating in the room, less noisy exhaust fan in bathroom.

Plussat: Our beds were comfortable, breakfast was so lovely and Connie is beyond gracious. The rooms feel like Maine and it is close to everything, but on a quiet street. Both my mother and sister were traveling with me and they wished we could have stayed on and explored from here rather than moving on.

Miinukset: We loved everything.

Plussat: We received a very friendly and welcoming greeting. Room was very neat and clean Walking distance to downtown was wonderful and convenient!!

Miinukset: Shower/bathroom was exceptionally small.

Plussat: Breakfast was delicious and had a theme!!

Miinukset: The owner. She was very social and if I needed anything, I am sure she would have done anything possible to secure it!!

Plussat: The innkeeper was nice & the breakfast was tasty.

Miinukset: The private bathroom was across the hall, not attached to the room.

Plussat: Quite yet near Commercial street

Plussat: Comfortable clean room, excellent breakfast, excellent hosts, lovely communal area one of the best B& B's we stayed in on our trip.

Plussat: The staff was so friendly and nice. We enjoy talking with them and sharing stories. They had all the things we needed and delicious fresh baked cookies. Our bed was super comfy and breakfast was delicious. Thanks for making our stay a great one.

Plussat: The amenities were amazing! Every detail was thought of and taken care of! The snack cookies and drinks were delicious, the breakfast incredible and photo-worthy! Loved it so much! Everything was comforting and calming. Beautiful surroundings. Close to tourist activities down town. Would definitely stay here again, given the chance!

Miinukset: Nothing!

Plussat: So pretty, a total gem in the west end.

Miinukset: Nothing, loved it.

Plussat: Easy to find from the interstate, this place is easily the best value location in Portland. Enthusiastic pre-arrival communication, lovely room, good shower, easy walk into town down to the waterfront and back again. Some hip restaurants nearby. The breakfast was a thing to behold. Lots of free cookies in the dining hall.

Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: The Inn On Carleton is exceptional. Must stay venue. 5+ stars!

Plussat: Very welcoming cozy inn, which was a great home base for exploring Portland on a chilly weekend. Fantastic food recommendations. Very walkable city.

Miinukset: Warmer weather

Plussat: The host Jim was awesome. He is very knowledgeable about Portland and the surrounding areas. Great resource. Breakfast was delightful and delicious. Bed was supper comfortable. Worth the time to check it out. Thanks for a memorable stay.

Plussat: Superb breakfast! Excellent amenities. Jim was an excellent host, and he has printed out a list of activities and restaurants in the area to explore. A most gracious innkeeper!

Miinukset: Lots of exterior and interior stairs, so if that’s a problem for you, choose another property.

Plussat: Great breakfast and lovely room.

Miinukset: Recommendations for dinner were all fully booked.

Plussat: Fantastically maintained period building owned and managed with pride. It is far enough from the Old Port to provide a healthy walk. Great restaurants nearby.

Miinukset: There was nothing to not like.

Plussat: Very small room with sink in bedroom. TINY bathroom.

Plussat: The great hospitality of Jim.

Plussat: Great location. Small boutique feel.

Plussat: This place is gorgeous, comfortable, chic, and we loved the location, especially for the coffeehouse across the street.

Miinukset: The towels and bedclothes could have been softer.

Miinukset: There was no coffee in the morning. The gentleman at the desk acted like it was his first day working. He was a real mess.

Miinukset: There was no coffee/tea facility in the room. Did not realise on booking that there would be an additional $15 charge for 'heritage'.

Plussat: Everything you could possibly need is here for you,spotless accommodations beautiful beach steps away quiet area .

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: We loved everything about it. The location of the suite was amazing! The decor inside was beautifully done. High-end appliances. The bed was like sleeping on a cloud. Peter was very friendly and accommodating.

Miinukset: That we couldn’t stay longer.

Plussat: Everything was perfect with this property.

Plussat: Every detail thoughtfully planned. Can you imagine warm bathroom floors and lighting at your feet so you can see about even at night?!

Plussat: The Lighthouse Suites is a beautiful, clean and provide everything for your stay!! No need to bring beach chairs or towels as they have them accessible for your in every room. This is the second time I've stayed and will absolutely do so again!!!

Plussat: Everything was so clean and proximity to the beach

Plussat: We could not have been more pleased with this unit. We had a one bedroom with full kitchen and living room. The space was more than adequate for the two of us. The unit had all new cooking appliances and washer/dryer. The bed was adequate, but not all beds are as comfortable as your own. A king size bed would have been a great offering in this unit. The view and the closeness to the ocean was perfect. A short stroll thru the dunes and we were on the beach. Being September, it felt as if the beach belonged to us. Perfect

Miinukset: The only thing that both my husband and I did not like was the stroll thru the dunes to get to the beach. Most days we walked barefoot and the deteriorating mat hurt our feet, but it was easier to walk on that than the soft and deep sand that was a bit of a struggle for us to keep our balance. this was such a minor struggle that I even hate to mention it. The younger generation will have no issues with this.

Plussat: Location

Plussat: Great rooms, great water view, super clean

Miinukset: Only two treadmills and one elliptical, and elevation function on neither treadmill worked. A small thing, but kinda important to a workout.

Plussat: front desk was Wonderful!!

Miinukset: No

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: I was placed in a handicap accessible room with an unusual walk-in shower configuration; the drain was in the center of the bathroom. I had to sop up water with bath towels as water was around the toilet and in center of bathroom, causing a trip hazard.

Plussat: Was in Portland for one night and wanted to stay in Old Port to enjoy the sights, sounds and seafood! The hotel is welcoming and beautiful. The rooms are very nice and the staff was great. The location was very convenient to some of my favorite places in the area including Gilbert's Chowder House, LeRoux (retail) and of course, the waterfront. View from my harbor view room was outstanding.

Miinukset: My only complaint was that for the steep room rate, breakfast was extra. I booked through American Express travel and am a Platinum card member. Seems like a cup of coffee and a bagel isn't a whole lot to ask for when I've spent $450 for the room.

Plussat: I liked the location.

Miinukset: We didn't get a very good view because we got put on the side.

Plussat: Beds comfy. Room clean. Quiet. Staff very friendly and accommodating, provided extra pillows right away (I need a lot). Great location. Great having citrus water and coffee and tea available in the lobby all day.

Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: good location

Miinukset: house keeping didn't do good job

Plussat: within walking distance to many interests

Miinukset: $25 additional for parking above the room rental

Plussat: Lovely hotel in a central location with friendly staff

Plussat: The staff was great, it was very clean, on the edge of the Old Port, the pool right downtown.

Miinukset: There isn't an option for parking for free ANYWHERE near the hotel, so valet is literally your ONLY option for overnight. Other hotels in the downtown have free parking overnight relatively close, Hilton has none. I splurged for a nice room for my son and I to have a special time, but had no clue I'd be paying extra 20% after I arrived, all to leave my car there and then have to uber everywhere or tip someone to get my car out of a garage that was right there and I could have parked in myself. It's an unnecessary and expensive "luxury" to have valet, that I neither needed or wanted. Also, terrible water pressure, and a crappy parking lot view. Day's Inn may not be right in town, but it's less than half the price, has free parking, free WiFi, a pool, WAY better water pressure, and pretty much the same breakfast...guess I'm cheap, sorry.

Plussat: Awesome place!

Miinukset: Bar open alittle earlier than 5:00 would be the only thing i would have liked. Otherwise, this place is PERFECT!

Plussat: Lets face it I stayed here because I just simply needed a bed because I was planning on getting super drunk in the old port. It was conveniently located very close to Bull Feeney’s.

Miinukset: I was surprised that the Jacuzzi was out of commission as well as the steam room.

Plussat: A nice clean comfy traditional room. Staff was friendly and the location was great.

Plussat: Very comfortable bed

Miinukset: Tired lobby and weird lobby layout.

Plussat: Great location. The spa was good.

Miinukset: Our room was on the first floor and it sounded as though every toilet in the building was directly above us.

Plussat: Used to stay here every year many years ago. Love everything about the Regency. Would, and am looking forward to, returning in the near future. Really love this place!

Miinukset: Love everything

Plussat: Location is best for an extended weekend trip, within walking distance to all shopping and restaurants, etc. The staff was friendly. This was first trip to Portland, and we loved the experience.

Miinukset: I thought it was a little pricey for the room size. We had two rooms and they were not really equitable, I didn't think. Also, the cost of parking was a little steep for me.

Plussat: Great location, rooms and service

Miinukset: The weather

Plussat: The location is perfect. It's right in the heart of downtown providing easy walking distance to Portland Lobster Co, The Standard, J's Oysters, Liquid Riot, Duckfat, etc.

Miinukset: There is no mini fridge in the room. That's a *bit* inconvenient but it didn't make/break my stay.

Plussat: Bedding and linens were very comfortable.

Miinukset: The bathroom needs updating

Plussat: All staff

Miinukset: Noise in room ceiling but I was given breakfast as compensation so all is good

Plussat: Location near downtown and the wharf

Plussat: I have been staying there over the past 12 yrs because of the sincere friendliness and efficiency of the entire staff

Miinukset: no

Plussat: Location was great

Miinukset: No

Miinukset: Sound/temperature insulation on windows is not the best.

Plussat: Love the evening reception & breakfast! We really wanted to see Downtown Portland- they had a free shuttle at Embassy Suites that dropped us of & picked us up later that evening- perfect!

Miinukset: N/A

Plussat: The location was nice and quite

Miinukset: N/A

Plussat: Close to airport and car rental services which helped with early morning departure.

Miinukset: Overall the hotel is a bit played out. Bath tub in bathrooms very old-fashioned; step-in showers much easier to use and safer. Wall mount AC units with electric heaters must be 30 year old technology. Noisy, can't hold set point.

Plussat: Whirlpool and onsite restaurant onsite

Miinukset: Restaurant should open at 4 pm on weekends. Hallway to pool area cold

Plussat: The happy hour reception and staff were both great

Miinukset: All good

Plussat: The helpfulness and friendly attitude of the front desk person at Chechen.

Miinukset: The toilet was very low. The shower curtain kept moving and the floor got flooded.

Plussat: Fantastic service. Very comfortable. Great location. Restaurant was awesome

Plussat: Very relaxing atmosphere and friendly staff. Quiet and clean suites.

Miinukset: Very small pillows.

Plussat: service, amenities, and family-friendly

Miinukset: none

Plussat: Location and friendly staff

Miinukset: Ordered room service, on the expensive side

Plussat: Staff was very friendly. Starbucks located right in the lobby. Water views.

Miinukset: No bathtub - BUT had a super nice shower.

Plussat: The location was perfect for touring the Old Port and both receptionists we dealt with were fantastic.

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: Area had very limited parking and the only parking given for the hotel was valet

Plussat: Fantastic location! Walking distance to the main attractions!

Miinukset: Not close to the airport if you are flying.

Plussat: Everything

Miinukset: I left my glasses and they were never recovered.

Plussat: Great view from our room

Miinukset: The restaurant could have a better menu. It would be great to have room service and the hours open could have been better

Plussat: We have stayed at several hotels in Portland and this was our favorite. The location was perfect, the room was lovely and the staff was fantastic. We would definitely stay here again!

Plussat: Hotel

Miinukset: Getting charged $6.95 for internet access when the free version simply would not work. Chintzy.

Plussat: Cleanliness

Miinukset: No

Plussat: Everything was great - but it was a bit pricey - - no complaints - would stay there again

Miinukset: pricey

Plussat: Fairly decent location for major attractions.

Miinukset: The high price paid.

Plussat: Comfortable room & bed Breakfast charge taken off

Miinukset: Power blackout - no breakfast

Plussat: We really loved the eclectic decor (previous owners of the house were artists). The location is a quiet residential area with beautiful old houses but within walking distance of restaurants, museums and shops. The breakfast was also good.

Miinukset: Sometimes it seemed like they didn’t have enough people working there. Everyone was very friendly and helpful.

Plussat: Comfortable and homey.

Plussat: The overall experience was very pleasant and the unique creativity of decor much appreciated!

Miinukset: The breakfast experience was a little confusing, leaving guests unsure about food selections and the Inn’s morning routine. Most of our past Inn stays had someone greeting us and explaining the process etc.

Plussat: The staff was very nice.

Miinukset: When the reservation was made we wanted to be close to commercial st and was told it was a short walk. It was a long walk. Also said free on site parking. Didn't say it only accommodates three cars. Said there was a hot breakfast made to order but no one ever approached us about breakfast so we ended up going elsewhere for breakfast.

Plussat: We love this charming hotel.

Plussat: Well maintained, just what we needed to 2 nights

Miinukset: The website seemed to give the idea the location of the hotel was close to the harbor. Actually it's 1.5 miles to get to the harbor. Otherwise the hotel was fine for what we needed.

Plussat: Great place for last minute stay! Super affordable and superb location!

Plussat: Didn't have time for breakfast, but I wish I had. It looked good! A friendly, cozy and clean place to stay!

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Absolutely everything, a real jewel

Miinukset: Nothing!!!

Miinukset: The room door tag indicated the maximum price that could be charged was $---. I was charged $--- plus fees. How do I get refunded the $25?

Plussat: Great service, very friendly and accommodating. And the breakfast had a very nice selection.

Miinukset: Room was in poor condition, and pricing did not reflect the quality of the offering.

Plussat: The staff was super friendly and very informative about things to do in the area.

Miinukset: The private external bathroom was a bit strange.

Plussat: Easy to get to from highway and not far from areas where we spent our time. Staff was very pleasant and helpful. Very reasonably priced. Although not having a bathroom in the room may seem awkward, it really wasn't at all. I also really liked the quirkiness of it being a unique place to stay - I hate staying in hotels that are more like prisons than a nice place to stay away from home.

Plussat: The staff were VERY helpful and courteous.

Miinukset: The bed was slightly lumpy, but it did not prevent me sleeping.

Plussat: This hotel was very different from most, and was a delight. It likely is not for everyone, but provides all one could ask for or need. Personnel was always helpful and courteous.

Miinukset: The distance from city center was the only disadvantage I found.
