WOW! What an amazing hotel! We had such a beautiful stay and LOVED Portland. The room was so comfortable and quiet. Beautifully appointed too. As an interior designer, I kept taking pictures and videos of all the beautiful details. The hotel company left the most amazing list of restaurants and things to do and we’re so glad we took their advice. We found spots we would never have known about otherwise. The Japanese restaurant they recommend was OUT OF THIS WORLD!
2.5 / 5.0
Fantastic stay. We had the Stovall room which was very spacious. Bed was huge and comfy and the bathroom was also very big. Nice shower with lots of water pressure and nice products.
Service was super friendly and everything was clearly explained. We’re lucky enough to be able to park next to the building.
Only thing that could finish things off would be a small fridge in the room and a coffee maker.

Pros: it's a nice-looking converted house in a good neighborhood. the staff was friendly. and I appreciated their guide to local restaurants, bars and activities.
Cons: one of the most uncomfortable hotel beds I've ever slept on. felt similar to a cheap pull-out couch, where you sink to the bottom and can feel a support bar in the middle. we struggled to fall asleep and woke up with aches and pains. completely sub-standard, especially for the price (almost $600/night incl. taxes). also, our bathroom had a cord hanging from the ceiling, with a bare wire where a light fixture would normally be.

Rooms were absolutely beautiful. Great breakfast and lots of thoughtful touches including free snack bar, board games and local recommendations. Highly recommend!

Staff was so helpful and the breakfast was delicious! Our shower drained a little slow (old homes!) but they fixed it right away. It is a beautiful hotel in a quiet and beautiful neighborhood, but we could still walk to everything.

A stay at Blind Tiger is like visiting a gracious and stylish friend. There are so many details that helped to make me feel welcome and at home. And the coffee in the morning is delicious!
Located in a residential neighborhood instead of a tourist area adds to feeling like a local. And I appreciated the excellent recommendations for places to eat in the "Guide" on the website.
Also Check-in and check-out were effortless; even though they were contact-less still felt personal.

5.0 / 5.0
We loved the cleanliness of the property. They really kept it true the historic nature of the property, which we really appreciated.
We only had 2 small concerns:
1. The back garden was peaceful and beautiful, but a bit overgrown (trimming up and/or shaping some of the growth would have been nice
2.The shower in our bathroom was very difficult to adjust temperature (the knob kept falling off in our hand, but no big deal we managed just fine).

We had a very comfortable two days in the Inn the room was quiet and very clean. Jim provided a delicious breakfast and in fact its was one of the best we have ever enjoyed in a hotel. The Inn was a short walk from the down town area and it was easy to walk to our restaurant fro dinner in the evenings.

The Inn on Carleton was an amazing start to a wonderful trip! Jim was the kindest and friendliest first face anyone could ask for when going to Portland! After some slight problems for our arrival, Jim was so accommodating and surprised my wife and I with gifts for our honeymoon! Breakfast was so good and we loved the home that we were in. We were easily able to get around Portland and find restaurants and fun activities all evening and morning.

We had a lovely stay at the Inn! Jim is a wonderful host and, after hearing a little bit about our plans, gave us some great recommendations for pre-dinner drinks in the area. Our room was very comfortable, and as other reviewers have mentioned, breakfast was fantastic! We highly recommend this B&B and look forward to a return visit.

Everything was good. Only negative was the group breakfast concept for all guests. I would have preferred a buffet.

Absolutely loved this place from the moment we stepped through the front door . Pristine , homely , and tastefully furnished.Jim is a perfect innkeeper , extremely informative but in no way intrusive plus his breakfasts are out of this world . One of the unique aspects of the inn is that there are snacks , fresh fruit and home baked goodies available in the afternoon/evening . We both enjoyed sitting around the table with other guests at breakfast , it was a wonderful start to the day and something I missed at our next stop in New England . I really hope we are able to return one day to this special place .

Martha and Jim were wonderful hosts during our two day stay, guiding us with restaurant and museum ideas for our days exploring Portland.The inn is a beautiful restored 19th century home on a quiet tree-lined street, with large comfortable rooms that are beautifully appointed. Room was quiet, bed was incredibly comfortable and breakfast was delicious. We will surely be back. Thank you Jim and Martha!
