Pros

Innkeepers provide insider tips for regional exploration

Located in a quiet neighborhood away from downtown bustle

Cons

Some rooms are smaller than others in the property

“This spot has a charm hard to find now, a beautifully restored Victorian where every room feels personal. The breakfasts alone-gourmet, local-are worth the stay, and the garden offers a pocket of peace in a lively city. I think it's the kind of place where you quickly feel both at home and inspired to explore Portland.”
