Room was spotless. Staff was courteous. Liked the character of the building. Hot water was slow to get to the sink in 5B at 6am. Heater was much quieter than the heater at a Marriot Suite. Considering that I’m 73 and not in shape, I was ok and able to climb two flights of stairs with my suitcase. When I paid for the room on Hotels.com I missed seeing that my single twin mattress room would have a shared hallway bathroom. I would stay again and be sure to select a room with a personal bathroom.

Good area just within two miles of down town Portland but even around the inn, several places walking distance for food. Across the street the best BBQ wings I’ve ever had. Cute moody, antique looking inn, light breakfast, snacks and beverages available. Does not have a jacuzzi tub for two; only fits one and not comfortably which was the main reason I booked. And I have to say the bed was extremely uncomfortable. I really liked the inn but due to the back pain l left with I don’t know that I would book again.

The room was clean however it had a funky smell. The bathroomwas functional but is in need of an update. The bed was very comfortable and clean. We were kept awake by the guests above us well into the night.

Overall, very happy with the Inn. It is a great older building with a quaint country design style. It was much cleaner and well maintained than I was expecting, but there were some spots that showed the obvious age of the hotel. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. Continental breakfast was good and well appointed.

Inn at St. John was very friendly and wonderful. They help us at an time of need. A friend of my son, was stranded in Portland, ME. We worked with at the hotel were excellent. They went beyond the call of duty. I highly recommend this hotel to everyone. Donna
