Hilton Garden Inn Portland Airport

Location

First room assigned had a distinct odor of cigarette smoke even though it was a nonsmoking room. The desk clerk immediately gave us a new room, which was fresh smelling.

Uneventful. No noise from planes. Excellent rest!

It is always nice to return to this Inn. We like the consistency of the desk personnel -- they seem like old friends. The breakfast service in the dining area is very good and we really count on that quality.

We had dinner in the dining area twice. I was disappointed in the quality of the meal both times. The French onion soup I ordered as dinner was watery, lacking in onions, and the cheese on top was inadequate in quantity and quality. The quality of the steak I had the second night was not up to snuff (it was too thin a piece of steak to turn out well -- any cook knows this -- and as a result it was dry and the flavor did not measure up especially considering the price of the dinner). Both nights we had adult guests who ate their dinners but were not thrilled. The two children who were with us liked their dinners very much. One of them chose only from the children's menu and the other had the pasta dish from that menu plus the calamari appetizer from the regular menu.
