I opted for the economy of the shared bath. It saved me a lot of money. I can't offer an opinion about the rooms with private baths. My room was very good. I will stay here again.

The staff were friendly and the airport close by. Other than that, it wasn’t a great stay for us. The mattress was incredibly uncomfortable & moved and squeaked on the bed frame with any movement. The furnishings were not retro chic but just dated & dingy. The bathroom had no window nor fan and did not smell good and had padded faux brick wall covering (think tacky padded cell). I’ve stayed in many cool old hotels and this one has potential to be that but is in need of some serious upgrades.

The property is not modern It is like a step back in time. Reminds me of my grandmother‘s house. However, the staff are brilliant, and the place is very clean and has all the amenities that you need.

No elevator. We had to climb 2 flights of stairs and had our bathroom, but not in our room. It was charming and across the street from Maine Medica. Staff were great.

Okay experience

The staff were friendly and helpful. I’m so glad we had a room on the first floor as they do not have an elevator. Parking was less than ideal and we had to park pretty far away both nights we were there. Breakfast was okay.

Charming hotel

This is a really nice hotel in a cool old building on the very west end of the downtown area. It was more reasonably priced than the other hotels and included a generous continental breakfast. My son and I were walking, and we like walking, but it was a little bit of a trek from the hotel to the main part of Portland for those who prefer to be a little more centrally located. Also, because it’s an older building, the water temperature in the shower took a while to change from cold to hot and vice versa, and there was no fan in the bathroom, but otherwise I really liked everything… It was clean, well decorated, and overall a really nice vibe.
