    We liked the character of the old building, the sweet front desk person and that they provided everything we needed to be comfortable, including a nice continental breakfast.

    Room was clean and cost was low. Had to share a bathroom but that was fine. It was a 12 minute walk to State Theatre on Congress street

    Clean, well restored room with private bath

    3rd floor and quite small

    10Verified Hotel GuestPosted on: 8-19-2023

    Older hotel with "character" is precisely as advertised, very good location, very good value (including on-site parking at no additional charge)- and with exceptionally friendly and helpful staff. I would gladly return without hesitation.

    Clean, good location and friendly staff.

    The steep stairs are tough! There were not a lot of gluten free options at breakfast:(

    9CarynPosted on: 11-11-2022

    Clean and efficient single room, friendly staff, lovely touches, free breakfast, great price, close to airport. You can tell that there is care in this privately-owned Inn. This is exactly what I was looking for last minute. Would highly recommend!

    There are plenty of stairs, if that is an issue for you.

    10BryanPosted on: 10-30-2022

    It¿s location is excellent and being the oldest hotel in Portland was an interesting experience.

    The only negative feedback I have the stairs , they are narrow and there are a lot of them.

    10MelindaPosted on: 10-24-2022

    Such a beautiful building; with kind, wonderful, helpful staff! It had one of the most comfortable beds, out of the 6 places I stayed on my roadtrip vacation. The room was lovely, charming & oh so comfortable. Complimentary snacks, coffee & cider a plus!

    I can see how the stairs could be too challenging & off putting for some people. They were quite narrow & steep. However, the staff did an excellent job at notifying in advance & reiterating the "shared bathroom" arrangement on the floor I booked.

    10ShaynaPosted on: 6-15-2022

    Absolutely delightful experience! Felt like we walked into a storybook- beautiful paintings, lamps, and decor. Breakfast was delicious, bed was comfortable, shower/water pressure was good, and staff were so helpful! LOVED our stay here!

    We were on the 3rd floor, and there is no elevator because it is a historic building. Be prepared for a lot of stairs (totally worth the stay if you're able-bodied, but unfortunately not accessible).

    10Verified Hotel GuestPosted on: 6-13-2022

    The location, the availability of free parking and the fact that it's DOG FRIENDLY!

    The price was a bit high, but to be fair I did book last minute.

    6JohnPosted on: 4-30-2022

    very good staff.

    I may not have been paying attention to what I sign up for but 3 levels on narrow staircase would be too much for many seniors. Also had concerns about no readily identifiable fire escape.

    9JamesPosted on: 3-30-2022

    The staff was magnificent. They were super attentive, accommodating, and warm. The hotel is a Charming hodgepodge of architectural styles that somehow comes together into a unique but attractive experience.

    The damn stairs.

    10Verified Hotel GuestPosted on: 1-7-2022

    Friendly staff, good breakfast (for a hotel), charming touches like bathrobes in the room

    9Verified Hotel GuestPosted on: 10-29-2021

    Courteous and professional staff. Walking distance to downtown. Everything you might need for your trip is within walking distance. Very clean hotel.

    The shared bathroom was odd but I was aware ahead of time so it wasn¿t a surprise.

    8Verified Hotel GuestPosted on: 9-18-2021

    Quiet, friendly helpful staff, small amenities like always having drinks and snacks and filtered water available. It had a very homey feel .

    9Verified Hotel GuestPosted on: 8-19-2021

    friendly staff, easy parking, comfortable room

    was further away from the center of town than I understood
