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.

What a gorgeous property and very pleasant stay! Thank you to the entire team for the immaculate, unique setting. We felt welcomed the moment we arrived, enjoyed the sunrise from the huge windows overlooking the water, and the delicious continental breakfast. The location overlooks a lovely beach and walking path and we enjoyed the serenity and delicious dining in South Portland as well as the convenience to Old Port. We would definitely return and have mentioned the inn to friends. Thanks again!

Beautiful modernized old home. Very clean. Staff was friendly. Bathroom does not have enough storage or shelf space for those women that travel.

We were taking a New England road trip and this hotel was on our stop for Maine. It's on a community college campus and run by the students but they were excellent. Prior to our arrival we received a call from the front desk asking us about our arrival. The guy, Jacob, was friendly and on arrival greeted us warmly. The hotel is near the water and comfy. Perfect for our one night. In the morning we met Emily whom also greeted us warmly and proved us continental breakfast. Overall, a nice stay and the view of the water during breakfastwas beautiful.

Beachfront old building labelled "Hospitality" has the best view I have ever seen for breakfast. Watch seals and fishing boats pass by while eating (included with room) continental breakfast freshly prepared just for you. Super private, clean, and well maintained. Feels historic, beach and walking path outside front door. Campus location, has campus security and feels very safe. Kids loved playing on the oceanfront. Makes good base for seeing Portland, but is located in South Portland. Check out the lighthouses!

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!
