Liked:It was easy to access, and we had a well-appointed room more than adequate for 2.

Disliked:For us, the lo action was great, as we like that part of Portland; however, for those who want to be closer to the port and Commercial Street, the walk may be a bit much.

Great place to stay

Liked:Loved this property and would stay again the next time we’re in Portland. The location was very convenient either way free street parking all around. The room itself was very clean and comfortable to stay in and you can tell a lot of attention to detail was put into it.

Disliked:Nothing!

Best Bower is the best of both worlds. Located in a charming neighborhood yet close to everything downtown Portland has

Liked:We loved the charming neighborhood away from the crowds yet still 20/25 minute walk to Commercial Street, the ferry terminal, and the shops and restaurants there. The room was small (#3 guest room) but comfortable and well appointed. We really only slept there and were able to comfortably walk everywhere we wanted to go in Portland. Enjoyed breakfast at The Front Room and Katie Made Bakery. Lots of other cafes and restaurants and bars nearby to explore.
