Excellent private boutique home, converted to hotel. No person greets you and there is no welcome desk. You put in a code on the door to enter and instructions are given via text. No elevator and 3 stories, so keep that in mind. Would HIGHLY recommend.

Loved staying at the blind tiger. Very centrally located and absolutely gorgeous throughout. So many thoughtful extras. The bed was super comfortable with lovely sheets and linens. Staff was super friendly. The text system works perfectly so communication is easy but you feel like you staying in a lovely home instead of a hotel. Can’t wait to return

Adorable spot in Portland, great location, really cool concept. Felt like an upgraded vacation rental. You don’t have the whole place to yourself but it basically feels like it. Check in and everything was seamless. The local recommendations, games, and snacks were a nice touch. We loved plays scrabble and drinking wine in the parlor. We do wish some items were a bit nicer given the cost. The bathroom could've had nicer facilities (cheap toilet seat, low water pressure) our bed was a rickety. The breakfast delivered was a nice touch but the contents itself kinda fell flat, not as curated as the website made it seem. Overall we still enjoyed our stay and the concept, but the website may have upsold it a bit.

If you travel for business not ideal

This hotel is slightly more upscale than your typical business chain, and it may be a great option for leisure travelers. However, for a business stay, it fell a bit short. The limited breakfast hours (8–10 AM) meant we had to leave without eating, and I couldn’t find any coffee available in the lobby before heading out. Additionally, the room didn’t have a desk, which made it difficult to get work done, something I rarely come across in hotels. On a positive note, the snack room was a nice touch and much appreciated.

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.

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).

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.

Absolutely loved this place from the moment we stepped through the front door . Pristine , homely , and tastefully furnished.Jim is a perfect innkeeper , extremely informative but in no way intrusive plus his breakfasts are out of this world . One of the unique aspects of the inn is that there are snacks , fresh fruit and home baked goodies available in the afternoon/evening . We both enjoyed sitting around the table with other guests at breakfast , it was a wonderful start to the day and something I missed at our next stop in New England . I really hope we are able to return one day to this special place .

The property management and staff were very courteous and it was obvious they worked hard to ensure a comfortable stay. I was not a fan of the stairs but I guess that is part of the Brownstone design. Breakfast was good but perhaps a chalkboard posting the menu for the day so that guests can opt in or out and notify in advance. The location was great close to all the local attractions!

Inn on Carlton and our first Maine visit!

Lovely, unique home with truly gourmet breakfasts! One morning we even had a live performance by a neighbor who entertained us during breakfast with piano and vocals! Broadway-worthy. The Inn is within walking distance of many good restaurants and shopping, especially art galleries.
Innkeepers were friendly and helpful with great suggestions for restaurants, sites and any other info you might need. Truly welcomed you into their home!
Only downside for us was that our bedroom was on 3rd floor and I had been having knee problems - next time will request 2nd floor. Also, being and older person, could have used brighter bulbs in lamps.
Everything was really clean and had beautiful old furniture but many modern amenities.
Would highly recommend the Inn on Carlton!
