Hampton Inn Portland Downtown - Waterfront

10/10 Excellent

"The room seemed clean and was very spacious! The bathroom however had a weird pink stain above the toilet on the ceiling. The front desk was very kind and helpful to me. However when my boyfriend forgot his charger and came back the same evening they were unable to located it. He also called back several times and they said it was lost. Overall it was a good stay and wouldn’t hesitate to stay there again!"
