Pros (+) Very convenient to the restaurants and shops. Also located right across from the docks.
Cons (-) The floors were dirty in some areas and the hotel could use a little facelift.
Pros (+) Valet was very helpful ! Saturday July 4th I stayed ! Front desk was very helpful
Pros (+) Great rooms, great water view, super clean
Cons (-) Only two treadmills and one elliptical, and elevation function on neither treadmill worked. A small thing, but kinda important to a workout.
Pros (+) Was in Portland for one night and wanted to stay in Old Port to enjoy the sights, sounds and seafood! The hotel is welcoming and beautiful. The rooms are very nice and the staff was great. The location was very convenient to some of my favorite places in the area including Gilbert's Chowder House, LeRoux (retail) and of course, the waterfront. View from my harbor view room was outstanding.
Cons (-) My only complaint was that for the steep room rate, breakfast was extra. I booked through American Express travel and am a Platinum card member. Seems like a cup of coffee and a bagel isn't a whole lot to ask for when I've spent $450 for the room.
Pros (+) The staff was great, it was very clean, on the edge of the Old Port, the pool right downtown.
Cons (-) There isn't an option for parking for free ANYWHERE near the hotel, so valet is literally your ONLY option for overnight. Other hotels in the downtown have free parking overnight relatively close, Hilton has none. I splurged for a nice room for my son and I to have a special time, but had no clue I'd be paying extra 20% after I arrived, all to leave my car there and then have to uber everywhere or...

Pros (+) Rooms are very nice and comfortable.
Cons (-) For the price I would like to see a simple complimentary breakfast.
Pros (+) Other than the fire alarm issue the stay was very comfortable.
Cons (-) We were there for a medical reason. Went to bed early but a homeless person was able to get to the fire alarm and pull it. We had to evacuate & couldn't get back to sleep. That issue needs to be addressed so it doesn't happen again.
Pros (+) Room, staff, breskfast. Proximity to Standard Bakery Lication.
Cons (-) Valet parking is good but expensive
Pros (+) Friendly staff. Downtown.
