Cambria Hotel Portland Downtown-Old Port

5/5 Excellent

"I loved the corner room I had which overlooked the port on one side & city on the other. I did not like the fact that they scheduled a private event the second night I was there which prevented me from using some amenities. The front desk staff was very helpful & responsive."
