With another couple, my wife and I make an annual trek to Portland and coastal Maine. We’ve chosen the Regency as our Thu night accommodations for the past decade or so. We really enjoy the proximity to Old Port and the charm of the hotel. A renovated armory, the layout is quirky but comfortable. it's an easy walk to boutique shopping and great restaurants in this foodie town. Tucked downtown, swift valets make parking a breeze. The renovated rooms are first-rate. And we relish breakfast with long-standing servers like John at our beck and call. If you prefer a quiet, charming, smallish hotel close to the action to a predictable but serviceable chain hotel near the interstate, you will enjoy the Portland regency as we do.
