Portland, Maine Hotel Rooms at the Independent

The staff were excellent. They were always ready to be of assistance. The lobby and lounge rooms were very plush and comfortable without feeling too cozy with those we haven't met before. The beds in our bedroom was very comfortable. I slept very soundly. My car was accessible to retrieve something I left behind after the valet had parked it. The location just can't be beat. It's in the heart of downtown Portland. It was easy to walk out the main door to shop, eat and enjoy the waterfront. This hotel is highly recommended.

we spent most of our time in the hot tub and double heeded showers the room was up graded to a room with a fire place which was very cozy and un expected we loved our stay so much we are already planning our reunion get away. we live near bar harbor the prices are outrages crowded nowhere near as nice! we would rather drive 4 hours away to be as peaceful as we were. not only have we told all of our friends we showed off pictures. we had an incredible stay

Sophie was the best. She gave us excellent information, where to eat, what beaches were free for parking and even told us about a small wonderful ice cream place. I would go back again and stay.

Wonderful room overlooking the water with lobster boats departing early every AM. I loved the sound of the diesel engines at idle speed as the boats rounded the curve in the river at the working lighthouse navigational aid; lulled you right back to sleep!! My wife and I stayed for three nights, and pretty much had the complex to ourselves. I think the resort was in the process of closing down for the Winter, but the service and attention to detail was superb. There was a breakfast buffet every AM, which was included with the room. The manager told us upon check in that we might be the only ones staying on Sunday night, so they would prepare a special breakfast basket and deliver it to our room Monday AM. Apparently two other couples stayed over on Sunday night, so the manager advised us that they would do a "mini" hot buffet in the lounge. Should you get the opportunity, this hotel is well worth the visit. The fact that it is in the Town of Kennebunkport,ME just makes the experience more pleasurable, as there are numerous restaurants and shops and you are within 30 minutes of Outlet shopping in Kittery,ME. My wife and I live on the water in Cape Cod, so this was like a mini vacation for us. She was born and raised about 45 minutes North of Kennebunkport, so she knows the area very well. There is something about the State of Maine that is just so pleasing and relaxing; we return several times every year. Hope you take the opportunity to enjoy it as much as we do.

Friendly staff helped with getting whale watching tour.

Went to see the fall colours of Maine and NH over the Oct-10th week-end. Hotel and the Hotel manager, both were extremely good, courteous, and excelled all expectations !! Manager was present at all times for any kind of question and assistance ( none was needed though, because the room and it's facilities were all as expected ). Very satisfied with overall stay. Clean, comfortable room and to top it al, the location of the hotel is really very convenient. Highly recomended for all visitors to this area.

I didn't expect much due to last minute booking and the name, however the room was quaint and clean. I would stay here again. Cozy, cute, and convenient to 95. Only 15 MINUTES TO OOB.
