Unique style of a hotel. We did book the room with a separate bathroom which was right next door to our room. Not a big deal to us. We were out most of the day so just needed a place for rest and sleep. Good location. Short drive to downtown Portland. Nice breakfast set up. Coffee and tea always available. Staff was very helpful and pleasant. Check out the Vietnamese restaurant around the corner! Delicious Pho and spring rolls!

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.

Great value for the price we paid. Great central location. Not on the water, but not far and easy to get around town from this location. Limited parking outback, but if you can get a space perfect. Extra park across the street. Easy. Small rooms but quite comfortable. Will definitely return. Thank you.
