Charming!

The hotel and our room were cute & quaint. They took the time to put special Easter decorations up. It was adorable. Staff was great and so helpful. just wish we would have been a little closer to the Arts District and Old Port. You can walk but it’s a bit of a hike. If you have a car, you’re good. Free hotel parking too!

I’ve stayed at the Inn on St John many times. I have a long commute from home to Portland. I stay when the weather is bad and the travel is dangerous. I like to stay at the inn because the it very affordable, comfortable and very easy to check in, find food nearby and relax in my room. I’ve stayed in many of the rooms large and small and I’ve never had a bad night. Staff are super friendly. The parking is easy. It s also a nostalgic place as I grew up in Portland and My dad was friends with the Lekousi family who owned the Inn. There was a Greek bakery next door.
