Great value for the price we paid. Great central location. Not on the water, but not far and easy to get around town from this location. Limited parking outback, but if you can get a space perfect. Extra park across the street. Easy. Small rooms but quite comfortable. Will definitely return. Thank you.

The 1st place I'll check next time I'm coming

Excellent staff. A clean and cozy room. A quirky building. Walkable location. Buffet continental breakfast. Very reasonable rates. 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking for a nice, easy stay in Portland that doesn't break the bank.

Charming and clean

I was impressed with the cleanliness, friendly staff, and appreciated that they don't charge extra for dogs. We were on the first floor with a king bed and jetted tub which were on the newer side, ,however the room was very generic compared to some of the more traditional and stately looking images online. Those must be rooms on the higher floors.

So much character. Beautiful Tiffany style lamps made for a cozy feel. I always prefer unique local stays that are more true bed and breakfast style.

It was blizzarding and Inn at St. John saved us

Inn at St. John was the respite we needed from the horrible blizzard that harassed us that day. Inn at St. John was like a hot cup of tea on a blizzarding day. Would recommend to anyone in a blizzard.

Old and dated but clean and acceptable for the rate. Only issue I had was the old radiator in the room was not controllable. Went to sleep with window cracked and the radiator shut off in the middle of the night.

“Jetted tub” is a little misleading in the description of the rooms. They do have jets but are just your small to average tub. Rooms were overall a little dingy and bleak for Maine winter. Price and single photo matches the offerings - don’t expect anything more. Location okay if you want to be close to the hospital or seadogs stadium.
