When we arrived at this property- it was raining. There was no parking spots left in the lot and the overflow is on the street. Upon checking in, we had to ask how to get our things into the hotel with no parking spots as we were halfway down the block. Was not aware that there are NO elevators and had to haul all suitcases up stairs. The other “kid” behind the desk could have offered to help. We were not the only guests checking in that were surprised that we had to carry suitcases up a steep staircase. The NOISE was incredibly loud from the street if you have a room in the front of the hotel. It quiets down in the middle of the night- around 1am, but starts up again at 6am. The room was nice and large, clean.

My friend and I rented a room that did not come with a bathroom so we had to use the shared one. The shower in the shared bathroom was very small. I’m 5’1” and it was still a little tight. The toilet and sink were fine. The bedroom was okay. Had a mini fridge, microwave and sink which were all convenient, especially the sink. Only complaints or suggestions I have is that having a mirror close to the sink would be nice and maybe a couple hooks on the wall (near sink and a couple elsewhere). Their parking lot is super small but they give you a parking pass to park along the street and they have a designated parking lot with certain spots for their guests which is very close by. No elevator, but I only had a personal bag so I was fine with no elevator. Only reason I wouldn’t come back is because of the tiny shower. I have to shower everyday.

The property was clean however the location of hotel was problematic. The staff was kind and helpful but had minimal knowledge of public transportation.

Nice quaint hotel in Portland ME. My room had it's own bathroom (most rooms I believe had shared bathrooms, so you must specifically look for rooms that specify they have their own when making a reservation). The free breakfast consists of breads/bagels, donuts, cereal, juices, tea and of course coffee. The breakfast area is very small, so it may be best to eat in the lobby or in your own room. Wi-fi was good. One warning: the hotel parking has only about 10 parking spaces, there is street parking, but they have signs that limit what hours you can park there, so pay attention to those signs if you cannot park in the hotel lot. A parking tag is given to you upon checkin to put on your rear view mirror. If you park in the lot and do not want to drive out and risk losing your spot, Uber and Lyft are available, which I used to go to the Old Port area. I would recommend this venue for short (2 nights or fewer) stays.

This hotel is old with old fixtures and utilities, like our "private" bath out the bedroom door and down the hall. This feature was not mentioned in the description.

It was fine for the price, but it's just a place to sleep and store your stuff. The hope is that your car doesn't get broken into

The staff was wonderful. The rooms were adequate but not elaborate by any means. The neighborhood was somewhat seedy. Many dispensaries.A hospital nearby but nothing for a tourist.
