I hadn't planned on writing a review of the Inn On Carleton. I see that it already has legions of fans who feel this is the best B&B on Earth. I figured, why add one more letter of adulation? I've already been a guest there twice in the last three months, so obviously I love the place. But after reading... More

Let me start by saying, I have stayed at many hotels, b and bs and inns. I have had some really wonderful stays and met some really lovely people in these places. But upon staying at the Inn on Carleton, it blows all of these places away 100%. I stayed in January when it was very chilly and snowed for... More

This was my first time to Portland and what an awesome city it is! The Inn on Carleton was a lovely B&B to stay at. Located on the West End of Portland, it is only about a 15-20 minute walk to the downtown area, which is full of great restaurants and shops. The house was beautiful. My room was clean... More

The breakfasts... More

We had a great stay at the inn on Carleton. My fiance, my parents and I stayed there for only 1 night, but we thoroughly enjoyed it. The rooms and the building overall are beautifully decorated and updated, the rooms are very clean and some of the most spacious I've seen for a B&B anywhere. Staff were friendly and willing... More

Perfect B & B. Beautiful old restored building. Rooms are decorated in the best of taste. The breakfast's are an incredible treat. Everyday, something different and artful.

Great people, great food, great property! Buddy and Cindy are great hosts. Very helpful with restaurants, shopping and activities. Breakfasts are tremendous. Beautiful, clean and quiet property. Short walks to restaurants and a ten minute walk to downtown and the harbor. We will be back!

this is a wonderful place to stay while in Portland. No, it's not right in the heart of the old port, but for walkers, it's an easy ten minute stroll down Congress St. to get there. The inn has a lot of character and charm, is tastefully decorated, and the rooms are spacious and clean and comfortable. Service is very... More

Lovely inn, easy 10 min walk to shops and restaurants in Portland, while providing quiet surroundings in an upscale residential neighborhood. Buddy and Cindy are warm and welcoming hosts, with excellent tips for dinner and sightseeing. Nice to have off-street parking. Hot breakfast was outstanding, and even enjoyed homeade granola. Definitely will stay here again!
