If they had added two additional floors (8 instead of 6), it would have been truly epic views for the restaurant, meeting room, and outdoor space (harbor and city views). They should have found the money for it.
I don't think there is such a thing now as building a hotel in Portland with too many rooms.

Embarrassing.

This entire project from developer to architect to contractor is embarrassing. And like I stated earlier, had they made the hotel 8 or 9 or 10 stories instead of 6, the courtyard and restaurant/bar views of the harbor and the city would have been the best in the city--as good or better than Top of the East. It would have been Covetrus's and others' corporate go-to for events and happy hours (I believe they share an inside door with the hotel). Do you know why WEX moved from the Maine Mall area to this area? Recruiting and retainment are the primary reasons. The nearby restaurants and their rooftop social area with brews and views of the harbor tend to raise interest. The Olive Garden and Tilted Kilt did not (though the latter does with a few, lol). Someone power wash this thing and get a broom. Love the cinder block look. It gives it that Leavenworth or Rikers Island touch.

This would have been fine for a local branch of Bangor Savings....maybe. The city and developers of the waterfront area need to get their act together.....land and time are running out. There's no going back when a hideous project or building is built....especially in a smaller city like Portland.

I had a friend who refused to go to the Tilted Kilt because he was afraid one of his daughter's friends would be working there!

Almost finished!

Ha! I saw them peeling off all the black paneling (I don't know the proper term) a couple weeks ago. Did they make an error during installation that they're trying to fix? No sign that the townhouses are going to be constructed anytime soon on the Newbury Street side either...

I loved the black. Looks like another 6 months of work. Just in time for the holidays!
