THE PERCY INN

This historic Federal-style house in the heart of Portland's West End, one of the city's coolest neighborhoods, has been completely renovated, but retains its charm, especially with its eight cozy rooms of varying sizes and shapes. Dale, the owner, is a former guidebook author. He tried thousands of hotels before opening his B&B! The service is therefore excellent and particularly attentive. The breakfast buffet is a delight for morning gourmets; theirbumbleberry pie is a must.
