The issues we had were with the room which had a major moisture issue (huge dehumidifier in room) that caused the room to be musty. The parking was not always available and the quality of the in room furniture was like a flea market. Too pricey for the experience. Staff is very nice.

The property is an old mansion beautifully decorated with an eclectic style. It was cozy, warm and inviting. Nicolette was incredibly attentive and always present. A fire was always going in the main living room. Our room was large and comfortable with a fireplace that we chose not to use. It's a great property and a 1/2 mile walk to downtown Portland. If you want something unique this is a must..

We traveled for our 25th wedding anniversary! We loved the history of the Blind Tiger!! Love the billiards room and the mix of modern and antiques! Our only suggestion would to be to add a fan for some air flow. :)

Room was spacious and comfy, also multiple comfy common areas for time for "out of room" if desired, billiard room, nice bfast layout of yogurt, berries & nuts, various breads with toppings etc which varied a bit depending on the day, and teas/coffee/juice. 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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The property is very unique, room has a homey vibe but very modern feel. I would want to live here, versus feeling like my grandma lives here. The person who checked us in was so helpful, she gave us a ton of recommendations for places to eat, find live music, shopping to suit many tastes. Property on the whole has a really cool feel and would def recommend.

The property is very unique, room has a homey vibe but very modern feel. I would want to live here, versus feeling like my grandma lives here. The person who checked us in was so helpful, she gave us a ton of recommendations for places to eat, find live music, shopping to suit many tastes. Property on the whole has a really cool feel and would def recommend.

Quiet residential setting within walking distance of Old Port, waterfront, and restaurants; many find it convenient. Some note the surrounding area feels just okay or in transition.

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.

Blind Tiger on Danforth was perfect locale for San overnight in Portland. Walkable to Old Port, yet quiet & relaxing place to spend some time quiet in between all of the activities;)

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.

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.

Room was spacious and comfy, also multiple comfy common areas for time for "out of room" if desired, billiard room, nice bfast layout of yogurt, berries & nuts, various breads with toppings etc which varied a bit depending on the day, and teas/coffee/juice. 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.

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.

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.

Nice cosy house with very good vibes. Good breakfast (buffet). Caring staff who recommends places. Stayed in Evangeline, nice large room with comfy bed and carefully decorated. However, given price tag, would have appreciated a house keeping passage between the nights and bathroom could be a bit renovated.
