But make no mistake; this was a high-end experience. My room was wonderful, a spacious floor plan with a comfortable bed, a nice desk, and a very upscale bathroom with marble fixtures and a great waterfall shower. I could have spent my entire night in Portland in the hotel room; it was that luxurious. The fitness center was nice, with new, well-maintained equipment. They had dumbbells and cardio equipment, but no cable machines or rack, unfortunately. Staff was amazing, very attentive and helpful. They clearly take their guests seriously throughout the entire stay. I would definitely come back here!

The staff were fantastic, especially the doormen. I loved my room. It was sparkling clean. The bed was extremely comfortable. There were outlets on both side sides. The bathroom and shower were awesome. I could really relax and enjoy the room. My only issue was the thermostat. Even though 65 was the lowest setting it never got below 67. I was very disappointed about that. I didn't eat at the hotel, but I did appreciate the coffee in the lobby. I also enjoyed relaxing in the lobby as well. I am really, really looking forward to returning to this hotel and cannot recommend it enough when in Portland.

Hotel will take you and pick you up from Airport. Maine Mall food court 6 mins walk from hotel or 2 mins drive if you want to eat and we utilized that. **Portland Metro #5 Bus Stop in front of JC pennys to Downtown Portland only $2.00 and they take dollar bills and credit card. Final thoughts: Nice Hotel choice. The convience of places to eat 3 mins away like Olive Garden for one a plus. Staff gave us a ground floor room; a lot of hallway noises bouncing off the walls outside our door as well as noise upstairs above our heads with people walking around perhaps the drawback of eliminating carpets? I think this Hotel offers some decent options for travelers looking for a spring board. Comfortable and Clean, reduced floor noise would have been better. The Review Guru* Long Island NY

The people running it are very nice and friendly, and the breakfast is very good and allows you to choose from different sort of (sweet) things. Also, it's quite well located, near the state park and Sebago lake, and Naples town which is ok. There are just a couple of problems. First, being so close to the main road, it's a little noisy. But the main problem is cleanness. The bed sheets and the bathroom and towels were ok, but there were spiderwebs all over the place. And therefore, there were a lot of spiders. Are they sacred here like cows in India or something? I understand we're in the countryside and you're supposed to find a bug or two (or not) but the room was full of all kind of spiders, big and small. If the maid would've cleaned thoroughly that morning, you'd seen one or two maybe but not so many. Also, the doors and walls were full of fingerprints from previous guests. And there was a t-shirt between the dresser and the wall, so she does never look around when she cleans? The joke of it all is that we had been given an envelope to tip the maid!

The staff was incredibly kind and attentive in a way that felt warm and personal, not overbearing. True hospitality at its best. The room was comfortable and beautifully maintained and the overall atmosphere made it so easy to relax and feel taken care of. And the breakfast? So good. Fresh, delicious and way above your average hotel breakfast. I actually looked forward to it. Thanks Joe for the delicious Denver omelette!! I was never an Embassy girly before but this stay completely changed that for me. I won't be booking anywhere else. Truly a place that feels both elevated and comforting. If you're on the fence about booking here just do it. This is the kind of place that has hospitality that makes you feel taken care of instead of just "checked in".

By the time we arrived at the hotel, we were exhausted after six long hours of driving. We didn't want to dine out for dinner, so we figured we'd eat the hotel restaurant food.

Our stay here was three nights from Sunday June 21 to Wednesday June 24 for three people. Despite…read moreit being weekdays and early in the tourist season, the bill ended up being $1,237.99 with parking, over $400 a night. We choose Hamptons because of the Hilton ownership oversight, although individually they are privately managed so quality will vary. Also this property did offer a genuine view of the ocean in the ocean facing rooms, which apparently is obscured by buildings in other nearby properties like Residence Inn. Our top floor corner room did offer great views, was clean and quiet, and reflected the relative newness of the property built in 2011. We appreciated being able to check in and choose the room ourselves with the Hilton app, one of the reasons we keep with the Hilton chain. They did give us the token Silver status benefit of bottled water when I requested it. Blocks wide construction was going on, including the large block this property is on and along the ocean front. This necessitated walking several blocks northeast to gain access to the lakefront path near the Narrow Gauge Railroad building. It also affected the room view. Once oceanside park construction is finally over it should be great for the various local hotels. For overnight parking you are essentially forced to use the $40 a day valet. The city owned Ocean Gateway Lot which we planned on using was closed due to construction of a new park, and apparently has been for some time. The privately owned $25 a day plus processing fee Ocean Gateway Garage is very sketchy according to Google reviews (2.6 stars) and will charge you an extra $25 if you leave after 800AM. The valeted cars are stored in small open lots either onsite or a couple blocks away from what we observed. Our experience with valet was not good. The second and third mornings we had to valet ourselves to get completely out, maneuvering around other cars and a parking lot hosing machine. The large self serve water container for ice water next to the front desk and the hot water container at the coffee bar were both empty on arrival, however they offered to get me some water when I pointed this out. We had requested an eventually received a rollaway bed. My girlfriend's daughter insists on separate beds for all of us. One great thing about Hamptons is that a rollaway bed added to a double queen room is not an issue, although the quality of the bed itself varies greatly. This one was terrible, with the center of it literally dropping to meet the floor. We also didn't get a top sheet or pillows. It took a couple requests but we did eventually get a sheet (still no pillow), and on the third night a new bed. The second bed was even worse than the first, with the bottom broken with a hole, see included image. When I mentioned it to the front desk our last night I didn't get a response, I think they were tired of dealing with it. Breakfast options were even sparser than the typical no frills Hampton breakfast. It was supposed to start at 600AM, but all three mornings the doors didn't open till between 610AM and 615AM. There is often a promo image of premium bakery bagels and cut fresh fruit for the free Hilton breakfast on the in-room TV at Hamptons, which in reality you rarely see. There was a couple bottles of Smucker's syrup for the waffles instead of something house made with actual fruit. The hard boiled eggs were unpeeled together in a container instead of pealed and in individual egg trey slots. The yogurt packs (one flavor) were not in a small fridge like they should be, but stacked in a box on an open air table and not cold. Are these yogurts thrown away after sitting out for hours or put back out each morning? We didn't see bagels, even the typical cheap grocery store ones. There was a box for actual fresh fruit, but it was empty the first two mornings. This property has great potential, particularly when the new park is in. Unfortunately it currently suffers dearly from lax management in all areas including front of house, valet, room support (rollaway bed), and breakfast

We have always had great experiences staying at Hampton Inn hotels. I was able to check in via the Hilton App and select a room. This location was great...on Fore street only about one block from the waterfront and surrounded by lots of shops and restaurants. The rooms were on the smaller side...but that is generally expected in larger/touristy cities. The rooms had comfortable beds, good water pressure, a microwave, a refrigerator and a desk/chair. There was also a large TV in the room with lots of channels. We did have an iron...but was missing an ironing board. Also, our bathroom door did NOT lock...the handle hardware seemed to be broken. They do offer free breakfast with a few hot options (such as eggs and sausages) as well as the typical continental items...breads, fruit, cereal and their signature waffle iron/maker. There is a pool and fitness center, but we did not visit either during our stay. Parking is valet-only and is $40 per night. You are given a ticket with your vehicle number and can text them when you want your car to be available. Your vehicle will be ready in a few minutes after sending the text. All the staff, including valet, we encountered were friendly, respectful and efficient.
