The Breakfasts on 23 & 24 Sept were fantastic. Roland is a gourmet chef. The food and presentation were 1st class. everything is prepared from scratch. We loved the Portobello... More

We stayed at the Portobello Inn in Herkimer, New York. Our room was beautifully decorated. Roland and his fellow innkeepers made our stay wonderful. There was every comfort you could want, including afternoon ice tea, homemade cookies and fruit. The breakfast was simply fabulous - baked egg casserole with a side of bacon, orange muffins, individual apple crisps topped with... More

We wanted a homey place we... More

The accommodations were charming, clean, and comfy. Our host, Roland, prepared a delicious breakfast that was enjoyed by all. We appreciated being so close to Little Falls and the Mohawk River Valley region. We didn't mind the occasional train that rumbled through the valley during the night, but our friends were less tolerant and saw it as a disturbance.

We decided to stay in a b&b on the spur of the moment and were able to make a reservation at Portobello for the same evening. After a lovely dinner at the Canalside Inn in Little Falls, we returned to Portobello and sat for a while in the adirondack chairs in the back yard enjoying the moonlit night. Roland very... More

I am surprised at the the reviews by others about this property. While the reality was not as bad as our first impression, the overall experience was a little unnerving. On arrival, seeing the front of the house in serious need of paint and repair and the asphalt driveway a broken narrow remnant of what once was, I had concern... More
