I just returned from Portland and, honestly, there is not a better deal to be found. The Inn at St John is somewhere between a BnB and a hotel. Plenty of charm and character like a BnB but big enough that you dont feel pressure to socialize with fellow guests. Very cool. The staff is friendly, willing and able to... more

I wanted a safe and cozy place I could enjoy a solo trip myself for a few days. I am an independent, careful and healthy 55 yr old with simple needs. I got my twin room w/shared bath for 1/2 the price I would have had to pay for a B hotel downtown. Continental breakfast with great variety. Flavorful and... more

A great find, this hotel has everything that is value. Does not have a lift but if you dont need this it has every thing else The rooms are clean, comfortable and homely and well worth the rates. The staff are hugely helpful and friendly and the continental breakfast has a good selection. Between the Airport/Transport centre/Freeway and town makes... more

Great exquisite accomodations for a very reasonable price. Old Victorian hotel that has been modernized, very comfy bed and pillows, nice towels etc , refrig in room, big TV, internet in lobbby. Great continental breakfast ( cost you 15 bucks if u had to go out and eat ). Definitely recommend, not a great view out the windows but who... more

I stayed here for an evening while I was visiting the Maine area. All the hotels and b&bs in the Portland area were quite expensive. I chose the Inn at Saint John because it was a more reasonable price. Some of the earlier reviews made me nervous, but I figured we were only there for an evening, so I'd give... more

I live here in the Portland area, but stayed here one night when my house was being renovated. This isn't a bad place, but keep in mind, it's a bed and breakfast, not a regular hotel! The rooms are a bit small, but then again, what do you expect for this kind of place? It's highly recommended for visitors to... more

When we arrived at the Inn we were unhappy to see that it was in the middle of a questionable neighborhood, but we figured we would give it a chance. Unfortunately, adding to our original unahappiness, the room we had reserved had a horrific odor that smelled like fresh vomit, and when we informed the front desk of this, they... more

We stayed a night in Portland and were welcomed by a very opinionated man at the front desk who was fairly unhelpful giving us directions and/or recommendations on how to walk into town (about 20 minutes) and what streets to visit/avoid and instead talked poorly about the restaurants he did not like. Portland has some cute streets but we found... more

We stayed at the Inn at St. John while we were en route from Boston to our final destination in Maine. The staff were very welcoming and friendly, and the room was very clean; but that is the very best I can say about the inn. The positive reviews it has received come as a mystery to me, as the... more
