Portland Harbor Hotel

Great location to the shore area with restaurants and shops. The room was very nice with plenty of room for luggage and working area. Parking is in a garage across the street which is a pain but it's better than trying to find a parking spot on the street.

We really liked our stay here. As others have said, the location for exploring the harbor and Old Port shops and restaurants is perfect. Services from the front desk (Simone and John), restaurant wait staff, housekeeping and valet were all very good. Our room was quiet and faced the inner garden. We had a separate bath tub and shower. The shared pantry for our floor was just what the doctor ordered, with complimentary hot beverages and snacks (you could get a light breakfast from the pantry and/or dine in the restaurant). Complaints in other reviews about the $35/day destination amenity fee seem ill-founded, as the hotel is upfront and includes this fee when quoting your rate during the reservation process. Similar to other lodgings that sometimes include a daily credit to be used for breakfast, this fee is given back to guests as a daily credit. PHH goes further by allowing guests to use the $35/day credit for other hotel restaurant meals or in the hotel store, which in our book makes it better than those other places. Just make sure you use the credit, because it’s ‘use-it-or-lose it’. Our only critiques are that while the valets provided excellent service, $45/day seemed a tad overpriced, and that the word “Arrivals” posted over the parking structure entry/exit is a little confusing since the hotel’s name is only displayed at the opposite end of the building (depending on which direction you approach the hotel it’s not clear that this is the arrival area for the PHH). If returning to Portland, we’d happily stay at the Portland Harbor Hotel again.

This hotel is definitely not 4.5 stars. Rooms clean but it's all very tired looking. One slow elevator for the entire hotel. No coffee makers in each room, only on each floor. Not all were working. Way too much large bulky furniture in the room. Noise from the street was LOUD until very late at night. For the amount they charge, it's definitely NOT worth it.

dont stay here. The fees and charges are misleading, ridiculous and not worth it at all. $45 valet charges on top of $35 nightly charges for "destination amenities" the lights flickered in our room, the tv is years old and had touchy service, and the food and drinks are insanely priced.

Located right in downtown Portland, the location is walking distance to most of Portland attractions, hotel was very clean and great service.
