Wonderful room!
Such a beautifully decorated, clean, quiet room! I'm so glad we found this listing for our stay in Portland. It's close to many great food places and easy to get to and from other fun tourist activities. Thankfully parking was not an issue, either. We'll look out for this place if we find our way back to Portland!

Impressive room in a historic house
The high ceilings and woodwork were so impressive! The screw-up about check-in, which took two nervous hours, turned out to be MY FAULT in booking the wrong dates and still the manager was able to find me lodging in a similar venue for the same price for the one night in question. That takes a lot of extra effort and deserves commendation. The on-site manager was very nice and offered to help with whatever we needed. Parking was not as hard as I had feared. Yes, kitchen had limited pots and pans in the drawers, but were available upon request.

Maine vacation
The Holt house was definitely very unique. We were in the room which was the library. The main issue we had was parking & hot water faucet at sink did not work. The inn keeper, Teresa was very kind and helpful.

Charming guest house
The room at Holt House exceeded our expectations in location and style—the old house with its lush interior and dark wood contained many old books and relics from the past. Very cool place to stay—great value.

Lack of safty
No sink in the bathroom, it was across the room in the living room area. The front door was unlocked all three times when we returned. The refrigerator in the common area smelled horrible when i opened the door. We were told we were the only ones on the main floor but three men were walking around at different times in the kitchen area. my girl friend felt extremely unsafe.

Beautiful house, old style, but cozy property. We enjoyed our stay even though it had a "haunted mansion feel." Great location with easy access to downtown Portland. We would stay here again.
