It's an old-fashioned hotel with bathrooms in the hall (for our room). Very small room and cramped breakfast area. Had to carry our luggage up 3 long staircase. A "walk-up". The staff was nice. Well maintained. Good downtown location right on Congress. Probably a good price for downtown Portland (??). Just know what you're getting into if you're staying at the St. John.

The property itself was super unique and historic. The room was plenty large and cozy. The doors locked and unlocked easily and we were given a parking pass. Bathroom included basic showering needs. Mini fridge was a great size and it was easy to walk to Old Port (roughly 40 minutes).

Nice for 1 night stay
The inn was nice and the staff were friendly. I was only staying 1 night - so I decided a shared bathroom was okay. The room was small, which was totally okay. My only complaint was the AC - it was super humid, so bad that my Birks felt wet. I ended up just opening the window which was way more comfortable. I think the inn was a good value - especially when compared to the hotels in the area.

Shared bathrooms are weird / gross
Sharing a bathroom with the whole rest of the floor made for an uncomfortable stay that never felt fully private. Consider at least adding a “vacant / occupied” lock to the bathroom door. I accidentally walked in on a man peeing because he didn’t close the door all the way. People didn’t knock, they just tried to open the door. Someone left a big poop stain on the back of the toilet seat. It was super disgusting. Also we were not prepared for how many stairs we had to climb to reach our room.

Very clean and quiet. Staff very friendly and helpful. Unfortunately, no closets, hooks or hangers in the room. Limited on-site parking; other spots were reserved off-site at a local shopping mall; needed to cross a large, busy intersection to return to hotel.
