Quaint old building, steep stairs (45 of them to our room!). Friendly staff. The surrounding area a bit rundown.

Centrally located in the Old Port, with views of the harbor, this was a last minute — therefore pricey — excellent find for a fall weekend getaway. Stylish, elegant rehab of 19th century granite industrial building. Whimsical decor notes referring to 19th century owner Evalina Fox. Nicely appointed kitchenette — though if you came to Portland for the foodie scene, you might end up just using it for breakfast, as we did. Only sour note was the disco music (coming in via the ventilation system?) from a nearby establishment audible during business hours. Well, if you pick a hotel in the middle of things, you get the noise and bustle that comes from being in the middle of things. That said, we’d come again, but shoot for a penthouse/upper floor unit farther from the street-level mania.

A very nice B&B in Freeport Maine. Very friendly innkeepers. Great home cooked cookies and breakfast.

The hotel was ok but our room seemed to be one of the few still unrenovated ones. It was supposed to be a Deluxe room but it was far too small and uncomfortable to qualify as such. The old, outdated and small bathroom did not help improve the experience either. However, the worst part of our stay was the unfriendliness of the staff. Smiling and helpfulness are clearly not part of their profile. Location was good though, but I will choose another hotel in the area if I return.
