The Inn is very nice. The staff I encountered were all very pleasant. It has an old house feel and is very clean. Breakfast was great. I have Celiac and they nicely had packaged baked goods, GF yogurt, hard boiled eggs and fruit. It was the best GF continental breakfast ever!

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

Inn at St John remains a budget friendly stay, with an emphasis on "friendly". The rooms are clean and quaint and every room is an adventure. We have stayed here more than 15 times and we love getting a different room, and sometimes finding that we have been a room before. Always an adventure. They also offer a complimentary breakfast that provides the essentials to get your day started. Oh, let's not forget the FREE parking. Fingers crossed that the Inn does not change a thing, because right now they do everything right, and with the customer in mind!
