Good area just within two miles of down town Portland but even around the inn, several places walking distance for food. Across the street the best BBQ wings I’ve ever had. Cute moody, antique looking inn, light breakfast, snacks and beverages available. Does not have a jacuzzi tub for two; only fits one and not comfortably which was the main reason I booked. And I have to say the bed was extremely uncomfortable. I really liked the inn but due to the back pain l left with I don’t know that I would book again.

The room was clean however it had a funky smell. The bathroomwas functional but is in need of an update. The bed was very comfortable and clean. We were kept awake by the guests above us well into the night.

Overall, very happy with the Inn. It is a great older building with a quaint country design style. It was much cleaner and well maintained than I was expecting, but there were some spots that showed the obvious age of the hotel. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. Continental breakfast was good and well appointed.

Inn at St John remains a budget friendly stay, with an emphasis on "friendly". The rooms are clean and quaint and every room is an adventure. We have stayed here more than 15 times and we love getting a different room, and sometimes finding that we have been a room before. Always an adventure. They also offer a complimentary breakfast that provides the essentials to get your day started. Oh, let's not forget the FREE parking. Fingers crossed that the Inn does not change a thing, because right now they do everything right, and with the customer in mind!
