What a great find! We had a wonderful stay on our mother/daughter road trip, stopped in Portland for 2 nights. The front desk staff was so welcoming/friendly. Our room was perfect, very clean and comfortable. We stayed in a king room with private bathroom, so spacious!

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

Nice Place, be in shape to climb stairs...
The hotel was nice...a little eclectic, but nice. The room was nice clean and the bed was comfortable. Being in town next to the hospital was a little loud for traffic but bearable. The thing that hurt was there is No Elevator, and the staircases are all very steep. We got winded going to our 3rd floor room, but once in the room it was pleasant.

Charming!
The hotel and our room were cute & quaint. They took the time to put special Easter decorations up. It was adorable. Staff was great and so helpful. just wish we would have been a little closer to the Arts District and Old Port. You can walk but it’s a bit of a hike. If you have a car, you’re good. Free hotel parking too!

This place is very good for the price. Nothing fancy, but parking is included instead of paying $20 per day like other locations.
It's really close to the hospital which is why I have stayed here 3 different times.

It was blizzarding and Inn at St. John saved us
Inn at St. John was the respite we needed from the horrible blizzard that harassed us that day. Inn at St. John was like a hot cup of tea on a blizzarding day. Would recommend to anyone in a blizzard.
