Top Portland Arts District Hotel Reviews

Inn at St John Portland In-Town

10/10 Excellent

"Convenient location in town with free onsite or nearby parking. Can walk to many areas of Portland. Great prices compared to other in-city hotels. Incredibly helpful staff. Solid continental breakfast included. Is there a catch? Yes. But it is not a deal breaker if you are aware that all rooms are accessible only by stairs, and the first staircase is a bit steep. Some rooms are one more flight up, and a few are three flights up. Front desk staff volunteered to bring our luggage upstairs for us on our most recent stay. Also, while some rooms have a private bathroom and others have you sharing a bathroom, all bathrooms are down the hall from your room and require your room key to unlock the bathroom door. Not terrible, particularly since the hotel provides nice bathrobes in each sleeping room. We have stayed there a number of times over the years. The money you save each night can cover your lunches and dinners at fine restaurants in this “foodie” town — and still cost you less overall than just the room rates and parking/valet fees at fancier brand-name chain hotels in Portland. The beds are comfortable. Each room has a small fridge, a TV, a mini-safe, an iron and ironing board. You just need to be ready for stairs and for your private bathroom to be down the hall from your room rather than in your room. It is clearly not an ADA compliant hotel, being an older building with the quirky design issues noted above and no elevator."
