The thing about staying at an inn is sooner or later you are going to bump into the innkeeper. Whether you are a social butterfly or an introvert, when you stay at a small bed and breakfast, or an inn, you need to be prepared for your "innkeeper interaction". Which is why we figured it would be a good idea for you to get to know who runs your inn of choice before you decide to check-in. Meet The Innkeeper is our new video feature where the innkeepers get to speak directly to you, oh so intimidating potential guest, and tell you what their particular inn has to offer.

Today we present to you Neil Porta, Managing Partner at the Black Point Inn on Prouts Neck Maine. Have specific questions for Neil, or us? Leave them in the comments section below.

More on the Black Point Inn coming soon.

[UPDATE: We made some changes at the bottom of this story regarding room rates. Please read before you book.]

The Black Point Inn in Scarborough, Maine has just undergone a significant makeover and reopened last month with a new look, new restaurants and new management.

Originally built in 1878, the property shut down for a little while to make some structural and aesthetic improvements. In an effort to make the oceanside resort more "intimate," the room count was reduced from 84 to 25 to make space for the expansion of common rooms and cute sun-lit porch areas.

The good folks at True North Hospitality are the proud new managers of the property, adding BPI to their collection of Maine hotels, which includes Migis Lodge in South Casco, The Inn at Camden Place and the Inn at Ocean's Edge.
