The Inn is convenient to the airport. Though somewhat dated, it is clean and quiet, and the staff wonderful. The breakfast is good, and tea/coffee/cookies available about all the time. Our second stay; we'd stay there again.

Disappointment at the Inn at St. John in Portland,

Our room was VERY small, and the en suite bathroom tiny, with barely enough room for one person. The shower was the narrowest I’ve ever seen, but there was a good supply of hot water. The bed was too small and way too soft. The “continental breakfast” was meagre and there was little space to sit comfortably. Our room was upstairs, but there was no elevator and the stairs were extremely steep. I would not recommend the inn to another. We were quite disappointed.

The room was great! Quiet, comfortable, fairly spacious. Continental breakfast was good. Staff was friendly when we checked in, but not as much when we left. Due to flight delays we didn’t arrive until the next day. When I notified the hotel of the delay they indicated that they would see about a discount since we paid for 2 nights but only spent 1. Nothing was mentioned upon check out.

Nice staff but the hotel is very dated. Shower is REALLY small and it is a 20 minute walk to downtown Portland. Probably won’t stay here again.
