Staff was so friendly and had great dining recommendations. Room was super clean. Hotel was quiet and located in a perfect spot around the corner from the comedy show we went to see. Everything was so nice and good luck to the ginger bread house decoration competitors! We hope our choice wins!

Portland Regency Hotel & Spa
The amenities is the main reason we love to stay here, it is unfortunate when the spa jacuzzi is not available which happened the first day of our stay. It was resolved the next day which was a relief given the cold temps.
