I've stayed at this inn several times over the past year for work. The front desk crew, especially Miles and Glen, are very knowledgable and helpful, whether it's been an issue with my computer, or the perfect place for a business lunch or dinner, they offer wonderful service.

The rooms are very well kept, and the prices are very reasonable.

I staid in a "Queen room, private hall bathroom".
The Bed was super small - almost impossible to sleep if you need to share it.
Bathroom was not next door!
Breakfast was not specially good.
Staff is very friendly but I would not stay there again

I work in Portland and sometimes decide to just stay in town if I am working late or if weather is an issue. I have stayed at most of the local low budget places and they are all OK. I drive past the Inn at St John every day and have heard mixed things about it. I finally chose to stay here last week for 1 night and I do not think I will stay anywhere else from now on. I checked in at lunch time around 1pm and was given a King room on the second floor with private bath. The room was larger than expected, with floral wallpaper and an old world charm to it. Not run down or dirty in any way. It was very homey and comfortable. The bed was great with lots of pillows. There was a flat panel TV attached to the wall with a plethora of channels. The bathroom was quite large with bathrobes and lots of complimentary toiletries. Everything was over and above any thing that I had expected for the price I paid. The staff was very nice and accommodating. Breakfast in the AM consisted of bagels, Thomas' English muffins, croissants, cereals, muffins, etc. Coffee & tea is available in the lobby 24 hrs. I can't wait to rebook at the Inn at St. John. It was such a wonderful relaxing place to retire after a long day at work. I will be back!!!!!

Had a great stay at this small, old and wonderful hotel. Our room was nicely decorated and very large. We had a private bath which we had to access from the hall. A little different, but not a problem. A very good breakfast was included in the rate. No elevator. If you don't want to climb the steep stairs make sure and request a first floor room. Also, dog friendly.
