Blind Tiger Portland - Carleton Street Guest House

It was quiet and private.

We were in the front bedroom on the 2nd floor. It needed some refreshing and updating. We stayed at one of their other hotels in Salem, Mass that was much nicer and better breakfast selections.

Conveniently located. Really felt like you were a local. Easy in and out with easy parking. Yummy breakfasts delivered at a time designated by you. Could store stuff in the fridge to save / reheat for later.

Walls were thin.

Highly recommend! The decor is just as beautiful IRL as it is in the photos. It is a guesthouse so there’s no 24/7 staffing but the staff member I met preparing breakfast was so kind and helpful so there’s still very much a human touch! The breakfasts are served in little picnic baskets outside of your room with delicious coffee and fresh fruit. You can also text them anytime and they’re super responsive - our room had a minor issue and it was solved as soon as we let them know. The location is also great, walking distance to some lovely cafes and shopping areas. All the access are with simple codes so checking in was easy and you don’t have to fuss with key cards. Pricing was very reasonable for the area so I felt like there was great value! Would definitely stay here again - thank you!

Nothing

The property was beautiful with many spots for sitting in the public areas. The breakfast was nice along with the available snacks and beverages.

The AC in our room was not able to properly cool the room and the WiFi could not support movie streaming. Although the ambiance was lovely, temperature and wifi are basics that should be working exceptionally at a property of this caliber.
