Beautiful bnb in a great location. Very walkable to downtown Portland but a quiet escape as well. My room was comfortable and had all items I needed, the breakfasts were excellent, goodies available were a wonderful touch, and David was a great host. Would absolutely stay here again!

My husband surprised me with a trip to Portland and we stayed at Morrill Mansion. It was fantastic! It is in a great location, it is safe, it is clean. The rooms are lovely with awesome Jacuzzi jet tubs. Every morning David, the innkeeper, had an amazing breakfast spread ready for the guests. He is a fantastic cook. There were also yummy goodies in the sitting rooms each day as well as tea and coffee. I can not wait to go back for another visit!

My partner and I stayed at the Morrill Mansion for a night to enjoy a concert at Thompsons Point. We were struggling to find a place to stay in Portland during the summer that was a decent price. I am happy to say that Morrill Mansion was fairly priced and a comfortable stay. We did not get to interact with the owners or staff, but after booking I received an email asking for a photo of my ID (which is standard), please note that the staff wants this ASAP. It was a weekday during working hours when I received the email and two hour later a follow up saying they can cancel my booking if I do not send it. Overall, comfortable stay with staff who are not afraid to send you multiple emails during the work day if you do not send a photo of your ID.

Our stay at the Morrill Mansion has been excellent! There is a lot of charm and character in our room and having a parking space has been great. It is perfectly situated so you can walk to some great food options, and Portland in general has been easy to drive/park in. Our host Katrina has been very polite and professional and made sure to include a booklet of where to eat, as well as shampoo/conditioner/body wash- both the food and supplies were very appreciated after our first long day of travel.

Quite simply, this was the best Bed and Breakfast experience we've ever had. David was an absolutely incredible host. Breakfast each morning was amazing. It was different every day and over our 4 night stay we had: Custards, Quiches, Lobster potatoes, fresh eggs, blueberry crisps and much more. We had a room with a jet spa bath, which was nice after a long day touring Portland, ME. David also provided us lots of history on the area and recommendations. If you want an extraordinary stay in the Portland, ME area, look no further. You will not be disappointed.

If it's just you and a loved one (no kids under 14 allowed) I high suggest this place! The best Inn I've been in and very friendly staff. David is very welcoming and tries to make sure you enjoy your stay. The breakfast was good too but this place is also super close to do many restaurants. Parking can be tough, be sure to back into your spot, and DO NOT check in past 7 or call late at night/early morning. Be sure to communicate arrival. Also, 3 flights of stairs for some rooms, so definitely be wise about what bags you bring. The bathroom for our room (back cove) was gorgeous. It was very intimate room and welcoming and the jetted tub was a nice touch. We came to celebrate our 5 year anniversary but will be back!!!

This B&B was one of the highlights of our trip to Portland. The room with attached bathroom was spacious, quaint and nicely decorated. The room and bed was comfortable. The daily breakfast and afternoon treats were delicious. David is a fantastic innkeeper!

Awesome. Everything was perfect. Beautiful building. Excellent location. Check if you have off street parking, I did and it was helpful! Room and all things super clean, room was beautiful with nice plants big windows, heat cranks. Mattress was firm but quality (no springs) which made me sleep great. I wish there was more than one shelf in the bathroom, that was tough haha. Silly complaint though, perfect high end hotel feeling inn.
