The Danforth's sophistication matches the experience. Everything was as expected or better. The overall decor is beautiful, the bed comfortable, and it was quiet. The breakfast was quite nice, especially the yogurt topped with homemade granola. We definitely plan on returning. More

My husband and I stayed here for a much needed and long overdue weekend away. The staff was gracious and helpful and the accommodations were lovely. Our room was spacious, the lounges warm and inviting, the breakfast delicious, and the widow's-walk was a bonus. Don't miss the billiard room which used to be a speakeasy - very cool. It was... More

My husband and I got away for 5 nights and loved every minute of it. The staff were friendly and helpful, the 2-course breakfasts and afternoon teas were to die for, the accomidations were very classy and comfortable. Everything was a short walk to the arts district, local eatteries, and the Old Port. I couldn't recommend this place enough and... More

My boyfriend and I had an amazing experience at the danforth last weekend. We stayed for 2 nighs and were upgraded to a lager room with a larger shower for the same price as our initially booked room because there had been recent renovations and they wanted to make sure that we were in a completely finished an non-dusty room....

My wife and I were delighted with our brief respite at the Danforth. Our room was among the least expensive of those available on our chosen night. It was spacious, charming, and impeccably clean. It included a working fireplace that we used to enhance the romantic ambiance on a chilly March evening. Off road parking was a convenient feature in... More

Beautiful place! Great location. We were able to walk to all restaurants and shops (about 15 mins). The rooms are beautiful with very comfortable beds! I was a bit disappointed with the breakfast. It seemed like there was only one choice, and I did not care for it (quiche). I would not be deterred by the breakfast, and will definitely... More

We had such a nice experience at the Danforth this past weekend. It is a special place where Kim and her team have created a casual AND sophisticated haven. We loved the blend of modern accents with the architectural integrity of the original home, and our room was perfect - so gracious and comfortable. Breakfast on Sunday was a delicious... More

While traveling for business, I look for convenient location; safe, clean, comfortable & attractive accommodations; a friendly & helpful staff, and useful amenities...all at a reasonable rate. I never imagined I would stumble upon an inn that fulfilled all of these, and then some! Everyone at the Danforth has always been professional and accommodating, from making a reservation to check-out... More

My daughter and I fully enjoyed our experience at this bed and breakfast. Every room was beautifully decorated with plenty of living spaces on each floor. Breakfast was excellent and the staff were very knowledgeable about the city. I would definitely go back again. More

We loved the charm of this cozy yet upscale Inn. We couldn't bring ourselves to try another place to stay on our 2nd annual Portland trip. We will be staying at the Danforth for years to come enjoying the in-room fireplaces, billiards room, fantastic breakfasts, and the piano in the main room. More
