Portland

The room was great! Quiet, comfortable, fairly spacious. Continental breakfast was good. Staff was friendly when we checked in, but not as much when we left. Due to flight delays we didn’t arrive until the next day. When I notified the hotel of the delay they indicated that they would see about a discount since we paid for 2 nights but only spent 1. Nothing was mentioned upon check out.

The neighborhood seemed shady, and you have to walk a ways through it to get from your car to the inn. Otherwise, nice staff. Room and shower/bathroom were leaned well.

Old-fashioned charm

The third-floor walk-up and bathroom down the hall came as a surprise, but the desk clerk helped us with carrying our bags and we really liked the historic feel of the hotel.

Nice staff but the hotel is very dated. Shower is REALLY small and it is a 20 minute walk to downtown Portland. Probably won’t stay here again.

We had a great stay! It was a little bit of a walk to the harbor area but we did it and enjoyed the mile stroll! We were very comfortable at the inn. Our room and bathroom were a bit smaller than expected but it was great for what we needed!

The word that comes to mind is eclectic. I've stayed here on and off for years but it's a $200 room-not $450 for Labor Day Weekend. The room was clean, yet a bit musty. The rugs need serious updating. The free breakfast is a nice perk and the staff were extremely helpful. I'll come back but not at the rate I paid.
