Liked: Cleanliness
A charming inn, though decor & carpeting are pretty tired. Staff was a mixed bag-- from extremely helpful and accommodating experienced staff to lackadaisical and unhelpful younger staff-- maybe just a generational thing. I appreciated the breakfast & always available coffee & snacks. Parking was an issue-- their lot was full of people who weren't staying at the Inn-- I ended up having to park far down a sketchy street both nights I stayed. I would still go back-- it had much more character than plain vanilla hotels.

We were put in a room that did not have an in-room bathroom so we had to leave our room with the bathroom key to get to our bathroom. The bathroom also had no ventilation and never totally dried. While the overall building was clean and well decorated the bathroom felt a bit grimy and the room was very small. This part of town is also probably ideal to stay in if you are going to a sport event (right by the arenas) or the hospital, but is several miles from Old Port and the downtown. Portland isn't exactly dangerous but it's not a very well-lit or well-traveled walk from the Inn to the harbor. Breakfast was very decent here and the staff was nice.

Very cute inn at a convenient location in portland. The room was very cleanly even though it was dog friendly, no dog or any smells at all. Bathroom was a separate door down the hall, and it was also super clean and well maintained, but just a bit small. Overall great price for the value!

Room was dark and smelled sort of dirty. The blanket on the bed was threadbare and had holes in some places. The A/C unit used for heat smelled bad and never really got warm. The parking was so limited that I had to park on the street both nights. There is no elevator so I had to pull my luggage up a steep and narrow staircase to my room. Staff was friendly. There was coffee and tea available at all hours. Overall it was just okay but much too expensive for what was offered.

I’d like to preface this by saying it’s quite a bit cheaper than the downtown hotels, and not too far out of downtown. It’s older, dated, rooms are small, it has a very basic breakfast. The room was fine to sleep and shower, but not for hanging around inside. Free arming is a plus, (40-45 downtown). We easily walked downtown and had a cheap fast Uber ride back. We saved so much money, we might do it again. If you have managed expectations, it’s fine.

The inn is quite pretty and full of character and our room was large and clean. Our room faced the street and it was pretty loud, so loud it sounded like our window was open. We played brown noise during the night, which helped. The breakfast was good, but not a lot of seating, which was ok. We ended up just taking it to our room. Loved having breakfast included.

The property was okay. Probs: Staff was very kind. The room was spacious. Cons: The bed was terrible, so old and uncomfortable! The windows were old - we could hear everything from the street which was quite loud past midnight. Also, our room was on the 3rd floor… there’s no elevator and no help to get luggage upstairs, so we were left to haul our luggage up three very steep/narrow flights of stairs. It was fine for a night, but probably wouldn’t stay here again.

The hotel is a unique, old hotel. However, it does not have an elevator. The rooms have no place to hang clothes. The lighting could be better. The room has a private bathroom, but it is off the hall. The room does have a sink, which is convenient. There is no control for heat in the room. There is a small refrigerator in the room, as well as a small microwave and coffee maker.
