Great location for us, Big, comfortable room and great help staff. If you do have issues with stairs best to request a first floor room. Stairs are a bit steep.

I’ve stayed at the Inn on St John many times. I have a long commute from home to Portland. I stay when the weather is bad and the travel is dangerous. I like to stay at the inn because the it very affordable, comfortable and very easy to check in, find food nearby and relax in my room. I’ve stayed in many of the rooms large and small and I’ve never had a bad night. Staff are super friendly. The parking is easy. It s also a nostalgic place as I grew up in Portland and My dad was friends with the Lekousi family who owned the Inn. There was a Greek bakery next door.

The rooms are small. I opted for a private bathroom. The staff was friendly. I was hoping for a hot breakfast but the bagels, oatmeal, cereal, and yogurt was adequate. Limited parking.

This hotel is a classic old hotel in a part of town that has gone downhill. We love the hotel but not the neighborhood so much.

Great value for the price we paid. Great central location. Not on the water, but not far and easy to get around town from this location. Limited parking outback, but if you can get a space perfect. Extra park across the street. Easy. Small rooms but quite comfortable. Will definitely return. Thank you.
