This was my first trip to Maine for a quick 38 hour trip for a friend's baby shower from Friday afternoon to Sunday morning. Communication was easy as I was able to text the person at the front desk letting them know my ETA. Once I got my rental car and let them know I was close, the host Maggie literally had the door open to greet me. Once showing me to my room, I looked around the pantry to see local snacks and drinks available to grab and go. Maggie went above and beyond by giving me suggestions for restaurants and shops to check out during my stay. She even had some tissue paper on hand when I commented that I'd forgotten some for my gift. The breakfast was delicious, and the entire spread was a unique assortment for a bed and breakfast style set up. When I arrived back on Saturday after the shower, there was a group of ladies making their own perfumes, and it smelled amazing. I guess they host events in the establishment as I chatted with the host of the event who was staying in the Danforth and had come over from Vermont. Every night I got to have a cozy fire in my room, and there was a book with colored pencils available to add my own story in the book along with previous excerpts from people all over the world and what they did during their stay in Portland. It was fantastic details like this that set it apart from other hotels. Checkout was super easy since I had to leave at 4am for my 6am flight, just leaving the key in a designated area. I will definitely be back!

The Blind Tiger was one of the best accommodations I've ever stayed in! The location was perfect – far enough away from the \"bustle\" of downtown but close enough to walk to many spots (Smalls was a favorite!). The daily breakfast was so great and the room, my goodness! Adorable, perfect, comfortable... best sleep of my life! Maggie was so helpful and accommodating and made our stay really special. All in all, highly recommend!

There was no real ocean view. Staff seemed available by text. The breakfast wasn’t out until 8:00 so unfortunately we never got to experience it. The room was clean, bed comfortable but outlets in bathroom were a safety hazard as they smoked when using blow dryer and straightener. We liked the idea of this hotel. The price did not match our experience.

We are sad to have only spent one night at Blind Tiger ahead of our trip back to Ohio the following day. The hotel, quite literally, took my breathe away. It was gorgeous, and immaculately curated. The staff was fantastic and had great recommendations for how to spend our one day in the city. It was quiet, clean, and in an area of the city that was more residential (so good for us!). We cannot wait to come back.

This is a wonderful converted mansion. Knowing that helps set your expectations for something closer to a B&B than a hotel. The staff was very helpful and pleasant. The breakfast was a light buffet so not quite typical in comparison to most B&B’s I’ve stayed at. The room was a fun design and color scheme and well appointed for comfort. It felt a little like we were staying at a friend’s house and told to help ourselves. It’s unique and something we’d would come back for. The area is fine, but nothing special. I would say it felt like an area in transition and the midst of revival. For someone that wants polished, tourist focused neighborhood, this might not be the best fit.

Not as Advertised

100% disappointing and not as advertised. Public rooms are showy but our room had decrepit bureau with grungy unwiped drawers, Home Depot like closet rod in bedroom not large enough for two people’s clothes, step up to toilet and shower with no rail or dye marker, tiny plastic wastebasket in bath only but not in bedroom, pills spilled on day 1 never vacuumed up, breakfast 2 hours flat- no leeway for international or West Coast time change and no 24 hour desk presence. At $2600. It is a complete fraud and I am asking for review and compensation.

We loved our 3-night stay at the Blind Tiger. The property is perfectly located within easy walking distance to some of Portland's best restaurants, shops, and activities. As we also had a car with us, the on-site parking was a great bonus. We looked forward to and thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful daily breakfast buffet -- everything was delicious and artfully curated, the perfect way to start our mornings. We also took advantage of the stocked bar essentials while enjoying a gin and tonic made with the gin we picked up at Hardshore Distillery. Our room, the \"Daymark\", was very comfortable-- I believe all the guest rooms are located on the 2nd and third floors, so something to consider regarding accessibility. We'll happily recommend The Blind Tiger to anyone we know heading to Portland.

New favorite style of hotel to stay in! The hospitality and care for details were unprecedented. The snack bar and breakfast spread alone were m worth the price of the room, and the decor and styling and bedding in the Diavolo room were absolutely lovely. There are a few minor upkeep/handyman jobs needing attention around the property, but there’s grace with it being a very old mansion. Would 100% stay here again and any other Lark Hotel properties.

Pantry with snacks and cocktail mixers. Comfortable bedding & linens. Quick walk to quite old local tavern for very good casual menu and maybe a 1/2 mile walk to waterfront shopping/dining zone with many options. Walkable to art museum and at least one house museum. Small property, hardly any interaction with other guests. Would stay again at this or other Lark properties.

We enjoyed our stay at the Blind Tiger very much. It is a beautiful home and our room was spacious and comfy. The home is old and charming and decorated in a very unique way - mixing old with new. It still needs some improvements but, I’m sure, “upkeep”is always in progress. Our daily breakfast and available snacks were perfect. They even had olives for those BYO martini drinkers! Nicholette was amazing and took care of all our needs and provided great suggestions for day trips and restaurants. If you visit Portland you must have dinner at the Danforth - just blocks from the Blind Tiger. We will be back.

The location may seem off the beaten track of downtown, the waterfront or Munjoy Hill, but we were surprise to find a lively, vibrant community just steps from the inn-- and a 15-20 minute casual walk to these other Portland neighborhoods.

Pros— common areas very cute. Could be great in non covid times. Location was convenient to walk most places. If you have concerns about COVID, you’re unlikely to interact with people at the hotel.

My 3 summer nights at Blind Tiger ranged from underwhelming to disappointing. The hotel seemed more like an Air BnB most of the time. Self check in with code. Rooms are only cleaned if you text and request. If you take something from their pantry, text them so they charge you. Basically if you need anything, text them. Just made me feel like I was in someone else’s houses and not a higher end hotel that we paid a premium for. Breakfast was a let down— some room temperature yogurt w/ granola, boiled eggs.

The room itself looked better in photos. Bathroom was not ideally cleaned. Air conditioner secured to cracked window with towels and tape. So loud we could not run it at night and then were unfortunately warm to sleep. Bed was comfortable.

I was really looking forward to this place, but would not say it was worth it for the price that we paid. Service and quality could use improvement.
