    Well presented room and bathroom. Very comfortable bed and pillows. Excellent communication from the property. We valued the free parking, welcome bubbles, and breakfast voucher as well. Friendly and helpful staff.

    The Francis is a stately but small hotel walking distance from Portland port and most of town, but out of the mainstream. The parking is free (unusual!). The room was sizeable and they give you a voucher to use towards breakfast in their affiliate...

    A fantastic building with lots of history, conveniently located halfway between the train station and the waterfront. Close to downtown and the Old Port for a nice walk. Terrific reception staff, and a lovely glass of bubbles when checking...
