Such a beautiful experience
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!

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.

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.

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).

Three nights and two days in Portland.
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.

Great Start to a State
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.
