Great Diamond Island hotel rooms a the Independent

"Clean room, great staff"

"Had a great stay!"

"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."

"Excellent stay here on a business/pleasure trip - 2 nights - along my America's Blue Highway Tour. VERY helpful, happy and eager staff. Room had an awesome view, was clean and comfortable. Proximity to walking the town super convenient. Enjoy your stay!"

"Breakfast was great but opens at 6:30 vs other hotels at 6. 6 am would be a lot better for us. We saw lots of people already lined up at 6:15 waiting."

"The breakfast was great, lots of good options. The parking was frustrating, I definitely did not look at the fact that there was only valet and that it was 40$ a night. Never having been to portland I had not realized the extent of paying to park in the area."
