Would stay again! I’m one to be skeptical of small, local hotels when traveling, but this place was excellent & I felt safe. Great option to indulge in the “New England” culture while visiting Portland. Staff was friendly. We went with the private bathroom. The private bathroom was a few doors down from our room, & we were provided comfortable robes for showering. The bathroom can be locked with your room key. 10/10 Recommend!

Convenient location and parking facilities, clean and comfortable. Loved the style and furnishings of the room. Good value for money. Breakfast adequate but would have appreciated some fresh fruit salad. Nice selection of teas.

Nice hotel for a quick stay

Pretty good hotel just outside of downtown. Fairly commutable with buses nearby if you're not driving because you're very drunk from all the craft beers Portland can offer. desk employees were super nice and the breakfast was passable when everyone is realistically going for local donuts and coffee. But the coffee service being 24/7 at the lobby is nice

Gracious staff in older, comfortable inn.

Comfortable room with small dining area in the lobby for breakfast and then drinks/snacks all day/night. Always someone at the desk 24/7. We’ve stayed here 3X over the past few years and appreciate the quiet pace. Bring your sound machine if traffic sounds bother you. The staff are all very accommodating and gracious. This is our favorite place to stay in Portland and it is away from the commotion of downtown
