The room overlooks a lighthouse, and the views are beautiful at dusk and breakfast. It's a peaceful and comfortable option if you're driving. The young community college student staff are friendly and helpful. I would definitely stay here again next time I'm in Portland. The only downside is that there aren't as many power outlets in the room as in newer hotels.

It was beautiful, clean, and homey. Not too fancy. The staff were delightful.

Gorgeous grounds and venue with a beautiful oceanfront view. Plenty of parking as part of SMCC campus. Short drive to downtown Portland and lots of stores around in South Portland. Very unique experience, would stay again without hesitation!

What a lovely Inn! Beautifully decorated for the holidays. The students were capable and friendly. Our suite was warm and cozy, with a spectacular view. Coffee and breakfast on the glassed in porch were great. We were lucky enough to have the place to ourselves. What a treat!

Stayed in the Suite. Great views from bedroom and sitting area. Feels home like and quaint. Great place for long walks. Good porch in front and back of property. Room clean and bed linens and bed comfortable. Staff were nice. Young lady made us breakfast on our first morning was very professional, courteous, polite, and made us good breakfast of cut up fruits and chocolate croissants. Beach and lighthouse just a few steps.

Location is great. We really enjoyed walking on the beach. Our room wasn’t bad but not great either. Def needs to be refreshed. The blinds in several windows were removed and the curtains didn’t block the light so we were up early. Furniture is in rough shape. Prolly wouldn’t stay here again but it was fine for one night

Strange hotel in odd neighborhood.
Stained sheets & comforter, no bedding for sofabed, all in very dated worn room with antiquated heating system, sink that didn’t drain, rusted faucets and no phone.
No staff on site after 9pm meant for weird exp with hotel to ourselves - spooky and somewhat scary deserted car park in dubious neighborhood.
It was very quiet with great views and beach right out front and we slept well, just very strange experience.

Such a unique little place. The kids staffing it were all very nice and very helpful. The room was very clean and comfortable. The location and views were everything we had hoped for for this, our anniversary trip.
