Inn at St John Portland In-Town

10/10 Excellent
"We had a lovely stay at The Inn on St. John! It’s a very unique hotel with a lot of character, both inside and out. Our room was comfortably spacious and featured a fantastic shower—plus, having a jet bath was a wonderful bonus! The complimentary morning breakfast was a great touch to start the day. Parking was a little tricky, but we lucked out with a spot right under our room window, which was super convenient. Overall, a charming and very enjoyable stay in Portland!"
