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

Buddy gave us a very warm welcome and carried our suitcase up the flight of stairs He made sure we had everything we needed and helped us with our bearings and got us started with a few recommendations of things to do. 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. Buddy is a terrific cook, and host. He and Cindy are very interested in their guests having a good time, and are eager to recommend restaurants and local sights to see. A pleasure... More

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!

Buddy and Cindy are great! They are so lively and full of energy...they truly love what they do! We've stayed in Rooms #1 and #4. Both the rooms were decorated beautiful and very clean. The B&B was within walking distance of many shops and restaurants and a short driving distance to downtown. Also, each morning, the breakfast was delicious (and... More

This is the second time my partner and I have stayed at the Inn on Carleton. Both times we remarked at the friendliness of staff (but not intrusive), the quality of the accommodations and the deliciousness of the breakfast. This is truly a lovely place to spend some time.

My wife and I spent one night here at the end of our trip to Maine. The staff was courteous and extremely friendly. Our room (#4) was clean and well-appointed and breakfast in the morning was great. As others have pointed out, the inn itself is located on a quiet street away from the noise of the city, which was... More
