Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
The room was clean, as was the shared bathroom. Breakfast was good with many options, including gluten free ones. The hotel was a little old, as expected, but it was also charming. I felt the price was fair. My room was on top floor, with very steep and narrow stairs all the way up. It was noted there wasn’t an elevator. While I did fine with my 2 heavy bags carried up 1 at a time, I could see it being a struggle for someone who wasn’t in as good of shape. The inn did offer assistance, however.

Staff was so sweet and friendly, and the hotel ambiance is great: lots of personality, not sterile like the big chains in the center of town. Nice and quiet. Location is a little removed, but that there is free parking is super helpful. Coffee available all day is very appreciated.

Breakfast was mostly all healthy food with a few donuts thrown in for those who want to indulge. Clean quiet room, staff very friendly and helpful and easy parking at the rear. Great location and one of the best places to stay in Portland!

Staff was very friendly. Rooms were clean. Little bit of a walk to get downtown, however there is a city bus stop close by. Be aware that this is an old building and every floor has a communal bathroom but there are private bathrooms that come with some rooms.

Pleasantly surprised at this little hotel. We had free parking, breakfast and no charge for dogs. They also stored our bikes for free in the basement. The staff was so friendly and the room was dated and old but CLEAN. There is no elevator which was fine for us but may be important to other guests. The only thing I would say was negative was the bed wasn’t as comfortable as it could’ve been but also the stay was extremely reasonable and the rest was truly a pleasant surprise. I’d stay again!!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The staff was friendly. We were on the third floor which was quite the hike up some steep stairs. However, I feel like it was fairly consistent for the age of the building. We stayed in one of the rooms with a shared bathroom since we were only staying for the night. The room itself did have a sink which was convenient for getting ready. The room was comfortable and overall pretty quiet throughout our stay.

I loved this hotel! I stayed here for 4 nights while visiting Portland. The staff were absolutely lovely, always so kind and welcoming. The place itself has an old Victorian feel and was exactly the vibe I was going for. The room was cozy and tidy, and I had no issues with the shared bathroom. I had read several reviews about parking being an issue, yes the lot is very small but they have a second lot that was less than a 2 minute walk and I never had any issues with it. My only word of caution, the stairs are very steep and there are no elevators. I didn’t personally have any issues with this, but if you have mobility issues or if you had a lot of luggage, I could see that being a problem. Overall I loved staying here and would absolutely stay here again.

Beautiful old hotel. No elevator but that added to the charm in my opinion. The continental breakfast & staff were both great. Parking was tight but we were able to snag a spot in the back parking lot.
