It was our first time in Portland and we wanted to stay in a hotel in walking distance to downtown. We stayed there for two nights. We loved the room. It was clean and charming. The bathroom was nice too. We particularly enjoyed the breakfast and the coffee (that is served all day long). The staff was also really nice,... More

My daughter-in-law found this inn on her smart phone as we were traveling into Maine; I tried to cross reference it to a AAA manual & found nothing; we decided to take a chance based on the pictures and we were absolutely delighted. The Inn is charming, full of antiques & great architecture; staff was very helpful & polite. Location... More

At the last minute I booked 2 rooms for me and my friend. The pictures on the internet were beautiful...a classic B&B. When we arrived we were not disappointed. The building was built in the late 1800's and the charm from past years is still present. The entire staff is very welcoming. The morning breakfast adjacent to the lobby area... More

The Inn isn't fancy - the decor is a little dated, etc. But it is clean as a whistle, quiet, and very comfortable. And the prices can't be beat. I had a room with a private bathroom, both were pretty big. The staff was very friendly, and the breakfast was your standard continental breakfast hotel fare. All in all, I... More

Inn was very clean and staff was attentive. Close to downtown and baseball stadium. Have stayed here several times and will definitely stay here again. The inn is near Dunkin Donuts and the bus station. Very quiet. No problem with noise. Pizza restaurant/sports bar is a nice place to grab a beer and pizza.

I chose the Inn because it was within walking distance of the Maine Medical Center, where my nephew was scheduled for brain surgery. The staff at St. John couldn't have been any nicer or more helpful as I went through three awful, worriesome days and was responsible for the care of my seven year old great-nephew while his Mother stayed...

Visited Portland in December just before the holidays. The inn was a nice place from which to explore the city. It is near the ma focal center and a short drive from downtown and many good restaurants. Our room was on the first floor off the lobby. A little traffic noise and lights. The room was clean and comfortable. The... More

As you arrive, the location of the Inn may make you have second thoughts - give it a chance and you will be as pleasantly surprized as we were! We booked a superior king room and found it to be comfortable and cozy; the staff was very professional, friendly and willing to advise on restaurants and give directions to attractions.... More

This Inn has a lot of character. It was built in 1897 and has been kept up.I stayed in room 4A and it was a smaller room with a bath room across the hall. Location is great if you want to see a Sea Dogs game or a Red Claws game or have family at the hospital. The service was... More
