Inn On Peaks Island

8/10 Good

"We rented the 4 bedroom apartment in the attic. The air was on but no heat and it was a bit cold. There was barely any staff but the were nice. The master bathroom was barely usable. One sink did not work. The tub was missing a handle for the hot water. And the shower would not produce hot water. There were a ton of beds. 11 total beds some were king, twins, queen and fulls. Older mattresses so not real soft and cozy. Plenty of room plus a living room. Sky lights let in light but t felt claustrophobic as there were no windows. Also only street parking which was a bit difficult and no elevator."

Residence Inn by Marriott Portland Downtown/Waterfront

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel suites were great - rooms were spacious and the full fridge and mini kitchen were great. Walkable to a bunch of restaurants and easy to find along the main street. The pool isn't huge, but plenty big enough to swim leisurely laps. Included breakfast had tasty waffles and scrambled cage-free eggs"
