Hotel Details

Location

Right on the working waterfront of Casco Bay, steps from the Old Port district, ferry terminal, and major attractions.
The hotel sits across from the Portland waterfront and ferry terminal, with Portland Observatory and Victorian Mansion 1 km away and Portland Harbor Museum 6 km away. Most of the city's top restaurants, bars, shops, and activities are within a 5-minute walk, making it easy to explore without a car. The Portland International Jetport is about 15 minutes away by car, and Commercial Street directly outside offers access to trolley tours and schooner tours. For exploring further, the Eastern Promenade Trail and Maine Narrow Gauge Railroad are a short walk from the hotel.

Accommodation

Guest rooms feature a fridge, microwave, Keurig, flat-screen TV, work desk, and air conditioning. Some rooms offer water views.
The hotel offers a range of rooms including Standard, Premium King with water views, Queen rooms with two queen beds (some with a sofa bed), and accessible rooms. Rooms are generally described as spacious, but decor and furnishings are dated and basic. Street-facing rooms can be noisy at night due to nearby bars and port activity; higher floors and water-view rooms are quieter. All rooms come with a shower/tub combination except the roll-in shower accessible room. Rooms have individual air conditioning units, but no balconies and no opening windows. For a quieter, overlook experience, superior waterfront rooms are recommended. Coin-operated laundry is available near the gym for longer stays.

Dining

Port65 Kitchen & Bar serves cooked-to-order breakfast (6am-10am) and light dinner fare (Tue-Sat, 5:30pm-9:30pm).
Breakfast at Port65 Kitchen & Bar offers a hot, cooked-to-order menu with American classics, including vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options. Breakfast costs approximately US$9.95-18.90 on average, but some packages include it. The Lobby Bar / Port65 Lounge serves dinner and drinks, and room service is available. A small lobby shop sells snacks and amenities, and complimentary cookies, coffee, tea, and hot cider are often available. For those wanting to explore, dozens of restaurants are within a 2-minute walk, including Standard Baking Co (next door), Eventide Oyster Company, and many seafood and pub options along Commercial Street.

Wellness and Leisure

An indoor heated pool, hot tub, and fitness centre are available year-round.
The indoor pool is heated and open from 5AM to 11PM, with complimentary pool/beach towels provided. The pool is accessible by reservation (45-minute appointment slots). The hot tub is also available but has been reported to have intermittent jet functionality. The fitness centre includes free weights and cardio machines. Nearby, the Portland Observatory, Casco Bay Lines ferry, schooner tours, and the Eastern Promenade Trail offer leisure options within walking distance.

  • 01

    Request a room on a higher floor away from Commercial Street to minimize noise from street musicians and bars.

  • 02

    Plan parking cost into your budget: only valet parking is available at US$40.00 per night.

  • 03

    Arrange breakfast cost in advance: breakfast is not always included; confirm your rate plan or budget for an additional charge.

  • 04

    Inform the front desk of a late arrival (after midnight) to prevent automatic cancellation of your reservation.
