The staff has exceeded expectations in all areas. From check in to check out everything we needed was attended to with a smile and efficiency. I highly recommend this spot for its location as well. So much in walking distance and never a dull moment.

Needs updated

I have stayed at a lot of Hampton Inns over the past decade and have seen a general deterioration in the chain, overall. But this property must be one of the oldest. Everything needs updated. And there was a gob of human hair stuck to the bathroom wall when we arrived. Housekeeping cleaned it up and scrubbed the tub but it made us wonder what other cleaning had been shortcut. On top of that, the $40 per day charge for parking is outrageous. I would not recommend this Hampton in Portland.

We enjoyed our stay here. My only criticism was the noise from the gym at 5 a.m., which was avoidable. Reception simpy said it was a 24hr gym, but good signage and possibly cctv with intercom could have been used to warn gym users regarding noise, i.e., please dont drop weights onto the floor

We enjoyed our stay and the only issues I had was no loungers in the pool area to lay and relax and the towels for that area are brutal.They are too small for drying off.The other complaint was breakfast.The eggs and meat was great.The fruit salad was also good but I cannot have lactose or gluten.So no milk for my cereal or oatmeal and no toast or any other bread products.Most hotels I go too have oat or almond milk for people with allergies and gluen free bread.

Long weekend stay

Front desk very responsive and friendly. Hotel within walking distance to restaurants and shops, nice promenade walk as well. While it was unfortunate that I experienced a drunken neighbor attempting to enter my room, front desk immediately responded and solved the problem. Aside from that, good hotel.

The hotel was clean, the staff were very friendly, courteous and helpful. I really can’t say enough about the valet workers. They were prompt, helpful and cheerful. I did not like the price for valet parking or the muffins served during breakfast.
