Housed in an historic building that dates to 1823, this Portland, Maine inn offers luxurious rooms with a seating area and a flat-screen TV. WiFi access is provided free of charge to guests.

Harbor View Memorial Park is just 190 metres away from the inn. The Wadsworth-Longfellow House and the Children’s Museum & Theatre of Maine are within 13 minutes’ walk.

This was easily one of the coolest places I have ever stayed while traveling. It was the perfect option, especially for an evening when I wanted to have a more low key evening. This allowed me to enjoy all of the amenities the space has to offer.

    A lovely location, only 10-ish mins walk to the main part of downtown/ the waterfront, yet super quiet at night. The apartment is gorgeously presented and very well equipped. We loved our stay. Easy to access, super-friendly and helpful hosts. Easy parking right by the apartment entrance. We hope to return!

    Location was great, close to the waterfront and only 10-15 minutes from the airport. Room and hostel was very clean and quiet. The place was very well looked after and the outside decor helped locate the venue easily. An area to leave bags was appreciated and the premises was secured out of hours with a coded door entry for guests.

    The price was reasonable for Portland. The room was clean, spacious and comfortable. Despite being located out of town, its proximity to the transportation center made it ideal for those using train or bus services, especially the very cheap bus service to central Portland. The gym and pool were OK and very quiet/ barely used.

    Great location! Easy to find, easy to access, and a fair amount of easily accessible overnight (free) street parking. The hosts were extremely friendly and knowledgeable about the area; I didn't ask too many questions, so I can't say for sure, but they made check-in a breeze!
