My stay at this hotel was fantastic! The location is superb, close to the beach and surrounded by great restaurants. The rooms were clean and cozy, and the staff was incredibly friendly. However, the dining options left something to be desired. The pool area was lovely and well-kept. The pricing was fair, but the additional cost for Wi-Fi was a downside.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel with its great location near the beach and close to various restaurants. The rooms were clean and cozy, and the staff was incredibly friendly. However, the dining experience left a bit to be desired with limited breakfast choices. The pool area was well-kept and a nice place to relax. The pricing was reasonable, but the separate Wi-Fi cost was a downside.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The location was just perfect, close to the Old Port of Portland Maine and downtown while still being peaceful. The rooms were spacious and modern, the service top-notch, and the dining options were great value for money. However, the miso soup was a bit of a letdown.
