Reader Comments on Portland, ME, Weekend from YankeeMagazine.com http://www.yankeemagazine.com/rss/index.php Mon, 13 Feb 2012 01:28:21 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.2 http://www.yankeemagazine.com/issues/2009-05/interact/10things/weekend-plans/portland-weekend Don't forget the Eastland Hotel, which has a bar at the very top (called, logically enough, Top of the East) offering the best views around, including Mount Washington on a clear day. The menu has a nice array of offerings (e.g. cheese & fruit plate) that are nice for noshing with a drink while you admire the views. The last time I was there (Jan '09) it was closed for renovations but it should have re-opened by now and I'm looking forward to seeing the new version.

Portland has been much like a second home of my childhood. Much has changed as times pass however Portland is a destination for all. Something for everybody! Thank you for the article.

Only one year old. Spacious suite with full kitchen for $161 per night. Full hot breakfast at no extra charge. Walking distance to everything. Even an indoor pool.
