- “Stayed at the JW Marriott a few weeks ago for my mom's 60th- it was just okay. It's very new, but the service left a little to be desired.” 15
- “Check-in begins at 4:00 p.m. and check-out is at 11:00 a.m. allowing for a relaxed departure.” 11
- “After a long day of exploring the bustling streets of Uptown, there is nothing better than retreating to a room that actually feels like a home away from home. It is all about that perfect blend of modern comfort and that exceptional Hilton service we all know and love.” 6

- “The one I stayed in Portland Maine had roaches everywhere so not always nice.” 4
- “The timing here is super convenient, too. Check-in starts at 3:00 p.m. giving you plenty of time to drop your bags and head out to explore, and check out isn't until noon. That extra time in the morning is such a luxury when you don't feel rushed to pack up and leave.” 1
- “Customer service could be better here though, some recent visitors critique.” 5
- “Last one I stayed in had the water pressure of a 90 year old man with a watermelon sized prostate. I didn't go back two weeks later.” 4
