We stayed for 2 nights. Loved it. We had to swap room for 2nd night as our original room was already booked. Staff were brilliant, arranging the transfer of our bags. Both rooms were at the front of the hotel & were quite noisy - very close to Maine medical center, so lots of sirens from emergency vehicles. Having said... More

What a great deal we had staying here! We stayed in room 106, which is considered a luxury room. The room, as well as the entire inn, had great character and history. The room was spacious, the bed was comfortable, and the amenities (coffee/tea, lotion, shampoo, etc) were plentiful. Even though the room was located just off of the lobby... More

The Inn at St. John's employees were super friendly and very helpful. We arrived on a Sunday which has a more relaxed checkout time, so our room wasn't available until like 2, but they offered to keep our bags safe, keep our car parked there, she asked what type of places we'd like to eat at and showed us on...

I have stayed at The Inn at St. John in Portland, ME, several times just for an over night as I am heading for Northern Maine. It is a very convenient stopover and a pleasant place to stay. From the parking lot you can enter the hotel through a back door. You get settled quickly. It is a pleasant walk... More

For the money we spent we weren't expecting such a large nice room. This hotel is close to old port, had friendly service with tons of recommendations, breakfast wasn't special but there was enough food to fill you up. We got a private bath not in room and it was fine for just my husband and I. More

This B&B is great if you are just making a quick trip and aren't looking for anything fancy. The room we stayed in was a king with private bath. The bed was comfortable but the sheets had what looked like bleached out stains and one of the pillows looked like it had makeup on it. We literally checked in and... More

We stayed for 2 days at the Inn at St. John in Portland Maine. I researched and reserved this hotel online after reading reviews. Hotelsone.com gave it 2 stars but after reading some comments about the hotel's style and charm I reserved it anyway. We stayed in room 1b. The hotel has a victorian flare and very tastefully decorated. I... More

Looking for an affordable hotel with character? By affordable I mean $70 or so. The hotel is just over 100 years old, has the look and feel of another time with nice appointments for the 21st century. The inn is located directly across from Maine Medical, Portland's largest and health care facility. We stayed at the hotel the night prior... More
