Portland was a little sketchier than I thought. The place was very satisfactory and the room was clean. The breakfast was excellent and had a good variety of fresh products to grab and go or sit and eat.

Portland on a budget

What a cool older place in Portland ME. Hotel stays are super expensive during the summer peak season. We found this gem that was walking distance to downtown. Had a nice continental breakfast. Staff was super polite and friendly. Only couple of drawbacks, no elevator and parking is tight and limited (however they do not charge for parking). Would go back in a heartbeat.

Property itself is very unique inside and outside. I didnt like to share washroom with someone else as we didnt have it inside the room. Location is fine as long as you have a car. Otherwise its a poor area and must watch out if you plan walking around.

We really liked our stay here; everything was very clean and the staff was nice. You should realize though that this is a very old building. The update and remodeling is great! However, it has narrow stairs and no elevator. That did not bother us, and I highly recommend the place, but if are expecting a modern building's amenities, you will be disappointed. Embrace the charm of the vintage vibe! Also, i highly recommend the bar/cafe next door, Bread and Olive....absolutely first rate and laid back.

Very nice and convenient place to stay in portland for a few days, clean rooms and staff was friendly, and tv in the room was a bonus. Only thing I didn’t enjoy about my stay was the inconsistent water temperature and very small showers. Was very hard to just have consistent warm water in the bathroom near my room, as it was either insanely hot or insanely cold and taking a shower like that was almost impossible and very uncomfortable.
