Does not have an appealing Entrance at all . A glass entrance door an some paint would help for starters. The rear patio area is really nice. It was a shame it was drizzle just enough to force so many things not being able to use one of the best parts of why they picked this site. Even if it was extra, having a canopy or tent available would have avoided so much moving around of everything from start to finish. Felt bad for the couple an 90 people there. They had to do so much work to make the interior so beautiful, then move - move- an move again. Just saying. Think about it.........

My son and daughter- in- law chose O'Maine Studios as the venue for their wedding weekend in June…read more2023. The space is incredible with the different areas as options for specific parts of the wedding or reception. Unfortunately, it also was dirty and greasy. Some examples: All the countertops were greasy and most of the available cookware and dishes were greasy, stained (that elbow grease removed) and/or had food remains on them. The vent in the room we had the rehearsal dinner in had thick black dust (maybe mold?) on it and the wall of windows were dirty inside and out. I had to ask an employee to pick food out of one of the trash cans, whose bottom was covered in black mold, before I could replace the trash bag. I emailed a more detailed list to Mr. Strunk and the venue and did get a response from Alexis that said "We will have a team meeting this week to discuss what we can do better with your review and revamp our in-house check list." I hope they do. Most of my concerns would not take a lot of time, money, or elbow grease to correct if they were completed on a regular basis. It seems as if there is no list of cleaning in preparation for an event. If there is, it isn't very comprehensive and/or the person responsible did not complete it. It wasn't until after the event that we saw the review of the venue that said a couple's meal was late because the caterers spent an hour cleaning the kitchen before beginning work. I want a venue with the same standards that that caterer had. This space is very cool, but the client should spend their time enjoying the event and not cleaning.

Coffee for me. After going through the whole venue we went to check out the food area also available to us but not needed. Never knew they had this cafeteria. Nice place for all types of venues whether work or personal event, check them out.

Personally, my friends and I saw Little House's dance performance; it was wonderful! However, I will say that the three-story walk up (historic, narrow stairs included) was rough. Elevator exists, though. The space itself was beautiful and would be the perfect place for a regency ball. However, the seating layout (with four sections of chairs arranged in a square around the center stage) makes it awkward and disruptive if guests need to leave for any reason. Other than that, staff was friendly, the event was well run, and the space is stunning!

I have attended events here in the past including multiple beer festivals and had a great time at…read morethose. Recently though my wife and I came to our first concert at Thompson's Point. We came for the show that had DJO as headliner (that you may know as Steve Harrington on Stranger Things). Yes he is the singer of his own band if you were unaware. I think due to the huge popularity of Stranger Things helped make the show sell out extremely fast. Firstly, as many reviews mention parking, I do want to talk about it briefly too. I recommend not wasting your time attempting to park on site and find a side street or nearby place and walk here. Even if you pay for nearby parking it'll be cheaper and it will make leaving significantly easier as leaving can be a bottleneck. Alternatively if you do park on site after the show ends visit Bissell Brothers to kill some time to allow traffic to leave. Concert wise unfortunately weather was not the best during beginning of the night. The shows are rain or shine and really only cancel if thunder/lighting are causing potential danger. Thankfully they do have the covered pavilion if it is raining. Also for a venue they have many porta potties available in so called "Toilet World". They also have a good variety of food trucks available (shout out to my favorite Iron Clad Eats). Then despite the sell out show they had so many bartenders that there was never much longer than a wait of one or two people in front of you. Drink prices like all concert venues are overpriced but expected. For non-alcoholic drinks check out the food truck options instead for a possible lower price. Music wise and sound quality were good and DJO put on a good concert. Didn't really know the opening band called Pond but they were solid too. Overall worth seeing a concert some time at Thompson's Point especially if the weather is more ideal. Beautifully located by the water with some fantastic views as the sun goes down.

If parking is too much, rideshare nearby and walk in. If the food is the issue there are tons of options with multiple food trucks. There are now options with a different beer vendor in Allagash and a new area to hang out (like a pavilion) and even a stationary food station in case you don't want the food trucks. The place is kept up well and there are water refilling stations and port o potty's on the outskirts of the venue rather than at the entrance. We love this place and am glad we have this option for entertainment. Of course we will be back!

We recently stayed at the Canopy by Hilton Portland Waterfront and came away with a solid overall…read moreexperience, though it wasn't quite perfect. The clear standout was the bed -- easily one of the most comfortable hotel beds we've slept in recently. Great mattress, supportive yet plush, with high-quality linens that made for genuinely restful nights. That alone earns the hotel strong marks. The room itself was clean and functional, but the finishes felt more mid-tier than upscale. Even as a Hilton Diamond member who received a room upgrade, the views were still pretty ordinary and not particularly scenic. The hotel just doesn't seem to deliver strong views from the guest rooms. The main area where it fell short was value. The base rate already felt on the higher side, and then parking and breakfast were both extra charges that added up quickly. Those additional costs made the total feel a bit steep for what the room delivered. That said, the location is convenient for exploring Portland's waterfront and Old Port area, and the comfortable bed went a long way toward making the stay enjoyable. If you're someone who prioritizes sleep and can find a good rate (or don't mind paying for parking and breakfast separately), this is a perfectly good option. We'd consider staying here again, especially if the rate was a bit more competitive. 4 stars -- great bed and convenient location, with some value and finish caveats.
