Awesome inn and staff, clean, professional, short boardwalk to awesome beach, Dog friendly, we keep going back every year Could not get the room we wanted as everything was booked, so accepted the corner suite we were not sure if we would like it, as it overlooks the parking lot and a field Found it to be a super nice room, it was easy to get loaded/unloaded and coming/going as there was a door right outside, nice soaking tub, and a great value

Didn’t mind not having the ocean view as it was only 20 steps around the building to see the ocean anyway, got room service from the Sea Glass, multiple times, was good each time

Michael Shorstein

One the nicest 4 star resorts, by far (not all 4 stars are equal)! We will be back The 1 bedroom suites are wonderful – facing the ocean Ground floor is special because of the large patio facing the ocean although there was some noise from the upstairs guests walking

The accommodations and use of space displayed a touch of elegance with a desire to fulfill all the needs of a long-term visitor (his and her closets, TV chairs, and plentiful drawers in the bedroom) The space is expertly configured with no waisted areaOutside the large bedroom is a living room (separated by a heavy wood pocket door) which contains a fireplace surrounded by a small sofa and 2 comfy chairs The living room area also has a dining room table that seats 4 and a small kitchen with a coffee maker, full refrigerator, microwave, dishwasher, sink, and dishes A counter separates the kitchen and the dining room tableThe room looks far bigger because the picture windows overlook the ocean and a welcoming front porch that includes a sofa and chairs for outdoor relaxation

Julia Chaney

We had our elopement wedding here and it was absolute perfection Inn by the Sea was a beyond gorgeous place to be married Kathleen who helped us was so kind and helpful

She checked in with us periodically, and answered any and all questionsIf our wedding didn’t earn them 5 stars The room alone would have We had the loft suite Amazingly spacious, clean and had everything you could want Cannot wait to spend a future anniversary here

From the moment I checked in, I was made to feel welcome Special shout out to Stefania, who was so helpful and calming when I checked in, barefoot and in a bit of a panic!! And she was so kind and helpful during the rest of my stay She really understands customer service

Everyone was helpful, friendly, and it was nice to chat with folks during my 7 month stay

Cynthia Hass

I was up through the night either freezing or hotI went to the night clerk and told him what was up with the a/c, his answer to me when the room gets too cold the heat kicks on ??? ( this was a thermostat issue)The stove top in the kitchen was filthy,dirty dishes in the dish washer, the white coverlet I noticed in twas discolored with a yellow castI was there for one night and arrived around 8 pm went to dinner and came back to room around 10 pm

I didn’t notice the kitchen and stained coverlet till morningThe breakfast was lacking would have been nice if they served bacon or sausageI paid $27000 for a lousy night stay

Deb Sterkenberg

The staff at this hotel are amazing under the general manager leadership, Kim I have been a long term stay at this facility and you could never find the level of service (and kindness) like you have at this hotel All the staff take pride in the work they do

We stayed at this hotel with our team for a baseball tournament The room was clean and comfortable You could tell that the front desk was short staffed but it didn’t take away from their customer service one bit

They were pleasant and accommodating, delivering on everything we asked forI enjoyed the welcoming lobby and outdoor seating areas very much We had some down time over our 4 days stay and it was nice to have spaces to sit and get out of the room for a bitMIKE C was FABULOUS! He was constantly checking in and making sure we all had everything we needed, going above and beyond what I would have ever expected Thank you, Mike!

Lynn Lambert

My husband booked this room for one night (I would have left after one night if it were more) and I have to say I’d rather have stayed at a Best Western for the experience We had It would have been cheaper and probably a better night The staff were friendly and helpful, let me just say that

If it were solely based on customer service this would be 5 stars all day Having said that, the beds were not comfortable, it felt like we were sleeping on a pullout sofa I am pretty easy going when it comes to things like that but it was bad Secondly the walls are so thin! Make sure you are not near anyone super noisy because you will hear EVERYTHING I felt like I was in a night club until 11pm, called and asked the front desk to ask them to turn it down Happened just enough so I could fall asleep,, only to be woken up for round 2 heavy music at 2am Called the desk and was told the walls were thin but would handle it An hour later back to the music blasting So having said that, if you want to stay here maybe sleeping on the floor will be better for your back and bring ear plugs because if you have inconsiderate people near you, you will hear everything

Start with the positive The staff were great The room was reasonably clean and location great

Room spacious and accessible (parking too) The hotel itself as a brand was disappointing given the over $300 per night we paid for two people The room is very minimalist and this should support minimum costs It didn’t There was a single chair for two people, beds that moved and we e hard As a long term Hilton Honors person, I seek you out for consistency and quality I got less of both with this stay

CHIRAG PATEL

absolutely amazing! the hotel was clean and colorful, the front desk staff was excellent, the breakfast had options, and they had a little store up front with plenty of options for last minute needs the room was very spacious and had great design features, such as an area under the bed to put your luggage, and a desk that rolls under the TV table so it isn’t in the way and, it is only a 5 minute drive to the airport

Haley J

The hotel is very clean and modern, large tvs, good pressure in the showersHow ever, when booking- I paid extra for a room with a King bed, when I checked in they said they had sold out the kings, but “no extra charge for a queen”- I never received the difference for them switching my room Also the woman at check in was incredibly rude

Good hotel aesthetically, the staff was less than desirable

Had a great time here while visiting the city of Portland This hotel is dog friendly, just be sure to give the staff a heads up before you arrive The room had everything we needed to be comfortable

While the rooms do look like they could use an update, for the price I don’t mind dealing with older styled rooms Sometimes we could hear other guests in their room, but for the most part this was not an issueThe free breakfast was a great start to the day, it had hot foods and snacks you could take with you It is located right off the highway and it’s about an 8 minute drive to downtown Portland Staff were very polite and helpful

Maryann Lindquist

We had a lovely stay last weekend! From check-in to check-out, everything went great! Isabella, who works at the front desk, was very helpful and pleasant The room was quite clean, and the beds are extremely comfortable When I returned home, I noticed that I had left my book at the hotel

The manager went above and beyond the call of duty by mailing home to me, which I really appreciated! I would recommend this hotel!

Cassandra Rohacek

My husband and I had stayed at this hotel earlier in the year when we were house-hunting in the area We were up from New Jersey and the location was ideal and convenient We met Patrick during our first stay and he showered us with excitement as we exchanged stories and laughs

We recently were up for a last-minute one-night stay and Patrick couldn’t be more accommodating He graciously provided us with anything we needed during our stay, but his bright personality and genuine love for life will keep us coming back and continue recommending this hotel for our family and friends We look forward to stays here in the future and enjoying breakfast & coffee with the one and only Patrick

Steven Jones

I have the company pay for the hotel here because the rooms cost more than the perdium I receive, so when I checked in for 10 days they asked me for a card for incidentals $50 I’m fine with that, lots of hotels do that, but not here, they charged over $190000 on my personal debit card

Then they keep a hold on it for who knows how long, I told them 7-10 days is unacceptable This all just happened on Monday and it’s now Wednesday and it’s still on hold So resist giving them a card if possible Another thing that is very disappointing is the fact they don’t even offer free coffee anymore No continental breakfast But there’s a plus you can spend your money at the bistro, In other words, this stay has been very disappointing I don’t think that all the staff is incompetent maybe just one? But the rooms are nice, comfortable beds, & the bistro guy was very friendly

Peggy Struna

The staff at the desk were excellent! The room cost us $315 for one night, and no AARP or AAA could be applied because they told us it was the last room The bathroom in the room was dirty, mold on the tile in the bathtub Shower head is old and does not adjust

No shampoo, only 2 conditioners Air conditioner was extremely noisy Went to use the jacuzzi in the pool area – jacuzzi was pretty good, but the whole room where the pool and jacuzzi are located was so hot that you could barely stand to be in it Had to open the room door several times to bring in some air conditioning Also, by the jacuzzi was a very large vent on the wall, completely rusted out The tile area around jacuzzi was also not clean In the main lobby dining area, light fixtures looked liked they hadn’t been cleaned in months, with a thick coat of dirt and dust on them It is the little things that make a place shine This place does not shine, it was way over priced for a place that is not well groomed or taken care of The staff was the best amenity at this place We will return to Portland, we will NOT return to this hotel

Amber Parshley

Came in mid-March for one night The room was cleaner than I thought possible The bed was comfortable

I loved the bathtub, as well as the TV The pool was warmer than was comfortable, and there was some dirt in the hot tub The pool and hot tub were also hard to find I found plenty to eat at breakfast, even with my restricted diet I walked to the mall from the hotel Despite the pool and hot tub issues I had a great time at this hotel, and would come again!

Not sure why there are complaints; this is a nice hotel Price was about on par with what something that’s NOT Motel 6 runs these days Our room was clean, (and YES it had a bathtub??) beds were comfortable, and the staff we dealt with were all pleasant

One minor issue was the A/C making wheezing sounds all night but again, a minor issue We made use of the salt water pool which was very clean (We were there for over two hours and had it to ourselves) Free shuttle from and to the airport was great We had breakfast in the restaurant and it was good although the menu is small

All Adds

Overall it was very nice The room was very clean and quiet with comfortable beds and linens A nice big smart TV that you could watch comfortably in bed, and a nice walk-in shower

Location is private and quiet The staff was very friendly and helpful The restaurant was not so impressive, drinks were very average and food was not hot enough

Roberta Tibbetts

We stayed two nights for a wedding Attention should be given to the guest rooms as well as bathroom supplies in both guest rooms and common bathrooms The rooms are dated and not as I would expect of a Sheraton and the price

Obvious struggle for adequate and knowledgeable employee service The two bugs and one worm in our bathroom was unexpected in a Sheraton Our room was on the handicapped floor but the rise of the ramp floor created difficulty for more than me to maneuver The room door is narrow and heavy for wheelchair accessibility The height of the marble stoop on the entrance/exit to the room makes getting a wheelchair over it difficult We ate two meals in the restaurant and were pleased with both the food and the service The activities of the wedding went well, but, again, a shortage of staffing was evident for set up Over all, we enjoyed the event

Outstanding service delightful sweets , very clean and a very good value for the price They also have senior discounts which I rather enjoyed and they had a nice continental breakfast which was also very nice I would definitely stay there again

And I found out $30 deposit you can also keep your animals there with you as well I was told by the front desk left the Hotel is under new ownership This is good and I had a nice stay

Josh Brown

I have higher expectations for a 3-star rated hotel We stayed two nights on Mother’s Day weekend The breakfast options were very limited to dry and cold options with a toaster

The only source of protein was bagged, overcooked hard boiled eggs We didn’t receive a room cleaning and returned to overflowing trash and no new washcloth’s and we were gone from 8 AM to 9 PM The TV is tiny and hard to see from the beds The single piece of artwork in the room is a photograph with angry red scribbles over it The store shows offers of microwaveable meals and ice cream and had nothing in stock but hot pockets The pool was warm and pleasant like bath water I was expecting cool and refreshing, but that makes up the difference of not having a hot tub The staff was awesome and polite but very casually dressed

Queen Sassy

The room was clean and comfortable; the view was nice looking into the woodsThe shower was not hot, and no pressure was there at all any time someone used waterHowever, My most significant complaint is that the housekeeper wouldn’t take My money

It wasn’t her fault about the water She cleaned the room, which I was ecstatic with

Don’t bother coming in unless you’re from a privileged walk of life Made a reservation 6 weeks before we were there and told we could only sit on the porch if we came at 5 pm Arrived at 4:50 pm to an empty restaurant

We were seated in the back When I said I requested outside seating and that is why we are there at 5 pm the hostess told me they can’t accommodate a party our size (9) on the porch and if I want a view sit on the side of the table where you can see outside Was annoyed but had our dinner We spent over 700 dollars on sub par food When we went to the lawn to enjoy a drink after dinner I noticed that there was a party of 10 who had just arrived and was seated on the porch 2 hours after our arrival When I went to the bathroom I mentioned something to the hostess who called over the manager I said I wanted to provide feedback if they could give me the information for the food and beverage manager The manager of the evening spoke down to me and was extremely rude cutting me off several times saying the party on the porch were customers for over 20 years It is very clear unless you’re a regular you are not valued and you should take your business elsewhere When those customers of 20 years no longer are around they’ll most likely have no more new customers

Justin Burilson

Best hotel and restaurant on the east coast! No really, the staff is just absolutely wonderful and the food is top notch Only thing I wish they did was get more creative with the menu, but for an everday person, the menu is great, with lots of options to choose from 10/10 view (best at sunset) and the whole experience is so charming

The positives about this Hampton Inn is that the rooms were large, clean, and the beds were comfortable It stopped there I reserved a handicap accessible room with a tub as I was traveling with a disabled adult

The room was large as they always are, but the room was full of flaws The refrigerator did not work The sliding barn door to the bathroom was not only heavy but screeched terribly when you tried to close it or open it I asked for a quieter room on the top floor I was given a Corner room so that the front of the room faced the main drag, the side of the room faced I- 95 Very noisy night with very little sleep The breakfast was sad It sign that it was on a Simplified breakfast We’ve been traveling for eight weeks and I’ve stayed and dozens of Hampton Inn , this breakfast by far was the worst Number one there was only half the amount of things that are normal Hampton Inn even offers, what was there was not great, there was one bagel in the bin, the selection was meager and the person that was supposed to be taken care of the breakfast was nowhere to be found The same thing cost just as much is some of the better ones we stayed in another states so I’m not sure what the difference was When we reported all of the issues with the room when we checked in the lady said OK I’ll let someone know We were never offered another room normally offered any sort of help with the door or the refrigerator Definitely not worth a stop Go down two more exits and there are dozens of hotels that while they are a little bit more expensive or a whole lot nicer than this one I’m really surprised as this looks like a newer property Like I said the beginning the hotel is beautiful but the amenities are certainly not worth the price Update: when we checked out in the morning we asked if everything we complained about the night before had been written down and it had not The morning front desk clerk said I will speak to my manager about this we stood there and nothing happened We finally just left Will be contacting corporate

Friendly staff great bed clean room very new a bit noisy pool not very inviting Breakfast ok limited covid fare coffee pretty decent tea and cocoa options Not great soundproofing but had much worse

Wish late arriving guests were more courteous but staff great parking plentiful amenities plentiful enough for comfort Would definitely stay here again

I got a room at the inn at Portland, across the street and left immediately when I saw how bad it was Went across the street to motel 6 to be told they had no vacancies before coming to Hampton sweetsThe girl at the front desk was a sweetheart and was amazing

My room was huge and spotless clean and seemed like something out of the futureBreakfast was fantastic This is going to be my new “go to” for every Portland trip 10/10 recommend

This was a great place to stay! The location was great for our visit; we were able to walk everywhere we wanted to go The rooms were really nicely furnished and clean The employees were really friendly and helpful

Our view was great We got breakfast from the restaurant and ordered off the menu instead of getting the buffet, which I think was the right move The food was great!Overall I highly recommend this hotel

We recently have stayed at several Holiday Inns and I have to say, this one was very nice Recently renovated rooms (although our bathroom was quite small and tub outdated, but clean), friendly front desk staff, and the shuttle driver offered to drop us off or pick up from downtown if we wanted Parking was on-site and convenient (spaces are tight but what one would expect for a parking garage)and the location made it easy to walk downtown

I recommend booking a room with a view of the bay Great views!

Overall had a pretty good stay at this hotel The staff I interacted with were all very personable and nice, and went out of the way to make sure you felt safe or helped you if you needed something The room I stayed in was very clean, and stocked with supplies as well

The pool area was also very well kept The breakfast in the Port of Call was also inexpensive and tasted good! The only things I can note as possible negatives are the ongoing construction they are doing between the hours of 9:30 AM to 5 PM, but if like me, you were here to vacation and explore, you most likely aren’t in the hotel for these hours where it would be an issue, but something that should be noted Due to this construction parking in the G2 level of the connected parking garage is very difficult, but there is another connected parking lot if that one is full/no spots are available Otherwise I have nothing but good to say, and recommend for an incoming traveler!

Beautiful hotel The rooms are big and clean They had the best creams and shampoos I have ever tried in a hotel

They also had amazing wine and local snacks I was so impressed The decor in the rooms and hotel were beautiful I would definitely go back We had dinner at the restaurant attached and it was delicious yet expensive The best part of out experience there was the attention we got from the gentleman at the front desk, Mauro He was thoughtful, entertaining and helpful We had a fantastic time Excellent service

Hotel fell short of average expectations Other similar priced hotels would have been more comfortable and more pleasant experienceROOM- Basic and noisy

My room (#003) was located in the sub basement The furnishings were basic, which is tolerable if not for the noise Floors are thin and floor creaks, footsteps (worse if the person had shoes on) and furniture being moved in the room above me went on throughout the night through 2 am I saw that this issue had been raised in previous reviews but still not fixed In this sub basement apparently odors also linger because one room brought fast food back and the oily fried food smell lingered all day and nightSERVICE- Lacks attention to detail Reception usually only had one person and service was not delivered with a smile (a minimum expectation) My friend asked for decaf coffee and person said “we don’t have any” She asked if they could get it for the next day He replied “I don’t think so,” and that was it Each morning you’re sent a text message on whether you’d like the room cleaned That’s great but one day I replied “yes after 12:30” Housekeeping started knocking on the door two hours before and kept returning until I messaged reception again to have them wait till my indicated time One morning the person working there was blasting music and dancing I’m ok with that but wondered if guests still in their rooms (given the thin walls and floors) appreciated the noise

Booked a night at random – long time Portland resident The Francis was absolutely perfect I had room 304 and it was also perfect

Staff was friendly and not overbearing They text and communicate well – which I enjoy a lot They let me know that the desk person leaves at 10pm but gave me all the info I needed Room was small, but I was there to sleep and relax not hang out inside lol Its so close to all the dope west end bars and restaurants Felt like I was staying at my rich grandmas low key, which is awesome lol Vibe was times a million also Will absolutely stay again and recommend to all friends and family

Not sure why there are reviews less than 5 stars I have stayed here 8 times and each and every time has been great The executive King suite, the whirpool suite, and the regular room are all nice

Comfortable, clean! This place is not cheap but it is worth it The location is perfect for strolling to a bar or restaurant Blue Fin serves up a fantastic breakfast and drinks Great outside hang as well!

Jennifer Wojcik

I was really hesitant to stay here after reading some of the recent reviews but was pleasantly surprised The location was ideal to walking and exploring the area Our room was spacious and clean

Housekeeping was offered daily Every staff member we encountered was friendly and helpful There was a nice coffee area and snacks on each floor

Eric Mitchell Jr

My wife and I stayed here to celebrate our 5 year anniversary and I just have to say that the staff at the hotel made our stay very special I would also like to say that Crystal helped put together a wonderful surprise for my wife including flowers, champagne and chocolate covered strawberries Very clean room, restaurant at the hotel has delicious food whether you get breakfast or dinner and everyone is so friendly

Will definitely book again in the future

I am a traveling nurse During my stays, the hotel was clean and quiet I love the little kitchen

It is well stocked with kitchen items you need They even have a hot plate you can use The bed is comfortable I check in and out online and use the digital key so have not dealt with the front desk staff so I won’t comment on that One weekend I forgot my sound machine (I work nights) It’s so quiet, I didn’t miss the white noise at all I highly recommend this home away from home to my fellow traveling nurses! I won’t stay anywhere else

Randy K

Everything was clean Room was modern and had everything I would need for my stay Breakfast was typical for this chain, workout room had enough for a light workout

Has laundry machines on site but I did not need to use on this stay Staff was friendly I only needed to stay one night before my return flight home Please read all reviews and evaluate

Kamal Bhattachan

Horrible experience in my life ever I booked too queen rooms with the kitchen I am traveling with 3 kids and my wife

I woke up at 1 am in the morning with some itching in legs and my back First I thought it was mosquito bites but the itching got worse and I checked to make sure if there were bed bugs I looked online to verify and sure it was bed bugs and there were quite a few under the mattrees I called the front desk immediately and she says first we can offer new clean sheets and declines to give me another room and tells me they are all booked We had to call several times and the housekeeper guy comes in to the room He took some pics too I am terrified cause this is my first experience with bed bugs and I have 3 kids and I was very worried Finally they did switch me to another room but me and my wife could not sleep all night I have bites all over in my torso, legs , forehead I still have itching and bites The night staff told that there was no manager on duty and he will come in 10 am We wait until 10 am and the morning receptionist tells us that she is not sure when he is coming? What a joke, how can a manager be not called even at night in this situation? So she gave us his number and would promise that he would call us on Monday but never go a call back I am health care professional and i should report to to the health department Such a horrified experience and dirty place that no one should stay here The housekeeping guy who cleaned the room at night time with bed bugs is serving breakfast in the morning too?

A perfect hotel! I had to stay overnight due to a blizzard The hotel was amazing, making sure my room was awesome, and the billing was handled properly They had plows working through the night to clear the lot, but they never disturbed my sleep

Hotel was so clean! And everyone I interacted with was beyond friendly The free breakfast was also pretty good, they had many options to choose from The suite itself comes with all the kitchen things you might need for an extended stay

Homer Hunter

My family and I have only ever stayed at Residence Inn hotels because of its One/Two bedroom Suite option This was by far the WORST one we have ever occupied This is our first vacation in two years and we have a room that smells like pet urine

The bed is insanely hard and our room is right next to the basketball court so imagine trying to relax in the evening and constantly hearing the bounce of that d*** ball from about 6:30 to a little after 8!! I wouldn’t recommend this location to anyone Wish I just paid the additional $400 and stayed downtown For what they are asking, SO not worth it and definitely not three stars Won’t complain about the lack of breakfast options because I am assuming they are keeping in light and prepackaged with a COVID mindset I did like the gym (used the treadmill and weights) The pool is closed with no opening date but again believe that is a COVID precaution

Jay Gordon

This hotel was a bit of a disappointment I stay at Marriott properties often so I am pickier than most First, the pool was closed

After investigating, there was small print in the App stating this but it was buried This was disappointing The rooms are locked at 68 degrees for the AC so the room was not cooled all the way Our room did not have a TV remote so we had to unplug it We will look for another Marriott next time
