Room was large, very clean with nice touches. Staff was very friendly and they had a extensive continental breakfast. It's a quick taxi ride to Old Port if you don't want to drive. We were very happy and would stay again.

A Great Inn In Portland
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 01/14/08
I have stayed at this Inn many times over the years since they have been open. What a great job the owners have done and the rooms are just wonderful.
If you get a room and the bath is down the hall its never been an issue with me. However, If you desire an in room bath then ask for one!
I wanted to stay in Portland in a place with some character. This place beats those big hotel chains hands down. They surprised us with a room upgrade free because the hotel wasn't fully booked. Staff was friendly and helpful (they recommended a great restaurant), the spaces were clean, tasteful, and comfortable. Continental breakfast in the ...

it does not have a bathroom
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 10/19/07
IT WAS AWFUL NEVER AGAIN. THIS IS NOT A HOTEL. MY ROOM DID NOT HAVE A BATHROOM. IT HAS ONE BATHROOM OUTSIDE. THEY CHARGED MY CREDIT CARD TWICE BEACUSE THEY SAID I HAD TO PAY FOR THE CLEANING OF THE ROOM.
I love historical buildings, and sleeping in them even more---and this fits the bill. I consider the lack of stairs a plus, actually--it feels like an authentic boarding house of the turn-of-the-century. It's extremely comfortable, and there are nice touches like fluffy bathrobes. The bathrooms are NOT the Holiday Inn (they're small, and ...
The room was nice and clean. Our problem was that we went for one of the cheaper rooms. The result was that our room was very tiny with only a few feet on either side of the bed. Also, we had a private bathroom down the hall; although the inn provided complimentary bathrobes, it isn't much fun to have to throw one on, find a key and stumble ...

Wonderful Portland Inn!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 08/03/07
We were comfortably housed for 5 days and 4 nights in a roomy,clean, nicely-decorated spacious room, connected to a huge bathroom. The staff at St. John was wonderful; giving suggestions about touring in Portland, telling us where good hiking paths were, and always having plenty of food there for breakfast (muffins, bagels, juice, coffee, tea, ...
We stayed during Thanksgiving break and the Inn was lovely... They had a nice cont. breakfast in the morning, the staff was helpful and nice. It also allowed me to bring my tiny dog and the staff fed him treats.
I will be going back!!

We were dissappointed!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 10/18/06
We liked the ambience of the old and well appointed hotel. The service at the desk was most confusing. It seemed the clerk may have been new. The airport shuttle is only a one-way taxi. They refund only one time. We felt this was false advertisement as they stated airport transportation. Also, this is not an area that is convenient to much ...

Beautiful Inn and Helpful Staff!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 06/14/06
The inn was very clean and beautiful. I have stayed here several times!! The staff is very helpful and knowledgable when it comes to Portland attractions (especially restaurants and attractions that you would normally overlook just as a tourist) - excellent recommendations! My husband and I stayed here on our honeymoon (because we had liked it when ...
