Inn at St John Portland In-Town

Inn at St John Portland In-Town

4/10 Poor
"The room advertised a jetted tub when in fact there was not even hot water to take a shower let alone use the tub. The rooms next to and adjacent also had no hot water. After running the tub I found someone else's used bandaid in there, so looked around other areas of the bathroom and noticed someone else's blood on the rim of the toilet seat."
