The staff were friendly and the airport close by. Other than that, it wasn’t a great stay for us. The mattress was incredibly uncomfortable & moved and squeaked on the bed frame with any movement. The furnishings were not retro chic but just dated & dingy. The bathroom had no window nor fan and did not smell good and had padded faux brick wall covering (think tacky padded cell). I’ve stayed in many cool old hotels and this one has potential to be that but is in need of some serious upgrades.

Good price, nice decoration, cosy and clean. Best location to be near city center and go by walking. Then easy to leave town to go around Cap Elizabeth or elsewhere.

Quiet, Large room, clean but very dated with extension cords and ? Fire hazard. Sketchy neighborhood. Very odd layout, no elevator had to walk up and down 3 winding flights of stairs. We had a room with a private bath but it was down the hall and needed a key. Parking was ok. Continental breakfast was good. Would not stay there again

Staff was very kind and helpful. Stay was great and the rooms were clean for the most part. My girlfriend and I both noticed a sour smell in the room. For cost efficiency I would recommend this place.

We loved this quaint hotel. It was a bit off the beaten path, but still accessible to downtown. The staff was very friendly and accommodating; the grab and go breakfast was good, they had on-premises parking for no extra charge, AND there was coffee and fresh cookies available 24-7. All in all, a great stay and a great deal for the money!

This is an older place in what has become a more seedy part of Portland. However the day was nice. I was by myself so the smaller room was perfect, didn't need more. They had lots of staff that were friendly. Good location to get to many parts of Portland.
