Frye Island hotel rooms a the Independent

"We had a lovely stay. Pro - The room was clean and spacious, staff was very helpful and friendly. Buffet breakfast was so delicious and had a great variety. Con -parking garage stairs were in disrepair and closed for use, but signs still pointed to them to access hotel."

"Stuff was great. We wish that pool was a little bigger as there was always someone there and it was a little crowded. And just wish that bathroom has a fan above when you have a shower it’s a little too much . "

"Location was incredible, walked to food, coffee, shops, and Cross Center. "

"Great place to stay excellent location easy access to all of Portland ."

"Clean room, great staff"

"It’s a very good hotel in a nice location with an easy walk to restaurants and downtown. Add another star if you have a dog. We liked the gym and the amenities and the staff were friendly and helpful"

"The rooms and hotel in general was very well maintained. Not much area to walk a dog. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The coffee was awful both too strong and sludge like. The rest of the breakfast was fine."

"The location was very good because you can walk to everything you need in the area. The only thing we didn’t like was the automatic $35 fee you can use toward meals etc in their restaurant, but if you don’t use it you get charged the fee anyway. We felt like it was a way to force us to eat in their restaurant."

"A fine location with nice rooms and helpful staff. The bar on the 15th floor has a nice view of the harbor and pretty good draft beer. Don't order food - or at least the tots as the serving size is meager and quality very low. Not to mention the high cost. Like many cities, Portland does struggle with issues of housing and, sometimes associated, drug use. The Westin area of town does has abundance of both of these issues. We NEVER felt threatened but some might be uncomfortable in this area."
