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.

We loved this quaint hotel. It was a bit off the beaten path, but still accessible to downtown. The staff was very friendly and accommodating; the grab and go breakfast was good, they had on-premises parking for no extra charge, AND there was coffee and fresh cookies available 24-7. All in all, a great stay and a great deal for the money!

This is an older place in what has become a more seedy part of Portland. However the day was nice. I was by myself so the smaller room was perfect, didn't need more. They had lots of staff that were friendly. Good location to get to many parts of Portland.

We loved the location, and the inn is our style (a Victorian bed and breakfast), but only one staff member was friendly and helpful. The rest were average to poor (slow response time at the desk, little eye contact, not professionally dressed, no smiles, etc.) The housekeeper on our second day was not happy about being asked to accommodate our luggage while she was cleaning (we added a night and had to switch rooms). The morning we were leaving, she hovered and made us feel like we needed to get out quickly, even though we were checking out early.
