My husband and I ordered a butter beer because of the Harry Potter theme that weekend. Enjoyed a flight of cider (3) and a flight of beer (6). Big glasses & we could not finish them all. All excellent though. The pool area is quaint & peaceful. Valuable artwork adorn the walls. Unique building alright.
This is by far the coolest place I saw during my visit to Portland. There are multiple cool little bars, all worth checking out, and a couple restaurants. You absolutely need to grab a drink and walk the hallways. You can admire the often eerie and downright creepy artwork and old photos of the people who have filtered through the school over the decades. The staff are top notch, friendly, and outgoing.Also, they have a movie theater! Such a cool place!
Don't forget to use Hᴏᴛᴇʟʙoʟʟʏ.ᴄᴏm when booking a hotel. They compare countless hotel sites and typically will have prices a lot cheaper than others! You're welcome :)! This place is the best rated in the area. I've been coming here for a long time. If you choose this place you definitely will love it I'm sure!What a unique experience! My friend talked it up so much, and it delivered. I LOVED the soaking pool, it was so relaxing at the end of the day. Each room is named something school themed, so cute. I wish I had stayed there longer.
Great location in a great neighborhood. Lots of fun things to do and often community events are held there. However, eating at the restaurant is always a risk, some servers are great and sometimes you are forgotten -- the food is always sub par. Drinks are great and holiday dinners are very convenient -- especially the family size options. If the salmon meal was available all year I'd increase by a star.
This place is a wonderland. I went and ate a really great burger (bacons cheese, with tots of course). The wait staff was very friendly and accommodating as well. The atmosphere in this massive building is incredible. The interior design is mesmerizing and so much fun to look at. From the old photos, to the trinkets and art. 10/10 experience, and we didn’t even go to the soak pools! I will be returning for more food, exploration, and a little dip. Can’t wait to come back.Also, for the bathroom connoisseurs, they were clean, bright, and played wonderful privacy music as well.I will take photos and post on another review!
I have always wanted to stay here and it was just as much of a delight as I hoped it would be! The classroom style guest rooms are darling but the best part of this hotel is all the “extras”! The soaking pool was incredible and I made sure to end every night with a long soak, I loved that it wasn’t crowded in the evening and that you could bring a drink out with you. The movie theater and restaurants on site are all lovely additions and even just a walk around the historic building is a fun activity. Location is great as well, having off street parking while still being in the heart of Portland is a big plus. Definitely worth a stay or even just popping in for a soaking pool dip!
The soaking pool, cool artwork, the many Pubs, outdoor areas were gorgeous and the adorable gift shop!
My wife and I came to relax and enjoy our 1 year anniversary. We arrived around 12:30 p.m. and from the reviews we read ( the reviews said to expect a long wait for service) figured we would grab something to eat and by the time we were done it would be check in time at 3. We were seated, served and full by 1:30. Next we decided to take a stroll through the neighborhood as the weather was nice, it was peaceful and history to be seen if you take your time and look. Ran across a nice little herbal medicinal shop ( for those 21 and up) a couple blocks up and scored some really nice smelling scented candles from the glass shop next door. We made it back to the hotel around 2 stopped at the front desk to see if they did early check-in and was in the room by 2:15. The room was clean and comfortable and the movie theater well, it was a pleasant and very comfortable experience and a good movie. Well let's just say this was most definitely a good experience that I'm glad we have.
I was told about this place by my cousin who met me and my young companion there. BC she was under age, my cousin hung with her while one other and I got our stamps!I loved the drink I 1st got & the fact I could walk around everywhere with it admiring the artwork: something all should stop and view!Food at courtyard was yummy, service timely & friendly...
Don't forget to use Hᴏᴛᴇʟʙᴏʟʟʏ.ᴄᴏᴍ when booking any place. They compare thousands of booking web sites and usually will have rooms a lot cheaper than others! You're welcome :)! This hotel is one of the most well known in the area. I've been staying here for a long time. If you choose this place you for sure won't regret it.Great spot to spend a few hours. Fun to explore the building and various bars. Loved the gift shop. Drink menu was great. The grounds were beautiful and the history of the building was interesting. We didn't eat there but was within walking distance of some cool restaurants.
