Hyatt Place Portland Downtown - Old Port Square

10/10 Excellent

"We enjoyed the location of the property and how easy it was to walk to the water and most of the activities we were doing in Portland. We did have to drive to the lighthouse, but otherwise everything else was walkable. Lots of places to eat nearby and shops. It was safe as well, with a decent seeming night life near by. "
