Room had a horrible smell, something dead/rotting in the room. Think dead mouse under furniture in the summer. Staff offered to provide an air purifier. Couldn’t get me a similar room. Had to be downgraded. Room condition awful. Switches loose and falling out of sockets. Shower was scalding nearly burned. No safety. Awful experience.

While this hotel is extremely centrally located to everything you can hope for, that’s about where it end. The elevator was broken the whole time and considering you have to go up two flights just to get to the lobby, it’s a bit insane they don’t have someone down there to bring your luggage to the room. I then had to take my luggage up 2 more flights to get to my room with no assistance offered. I will say the service at the hotel is outstanding beside that. Everyone is very kind and prompt, especially the room service. The bed was one of the most uncomfortable beds I have ever slept in. The insane amenity fee is what really upset me. I would think they would wave it due to no elevator but I still paid an extra $170 for the coffee and pastries they set out each am. Not worth it, rather just have a coffee maker in my room.

Pretty hotel, unfortunately their elevator was broken and had to go up 4 flights of stairs with my mom who is recovering from chemo and was weak so not ideal. Staff didn’t really seem to care too much in terms of moving us to an easier access room (maybe 2nd floor!?) and we only stayed one night. Excellent location but make sure elevator is fixed before you go!

I was extremely disappointed in the price per night versus the quality of the room, entry into the hotel via underground valet parking (which, btw for the additional $45 to valet your vehicle, they move it to an outside lot a block away). The room had an odor of an odd cleaning product which was hard to breathe in upon entry; the King garden room (dark nautical vibe decor, not cheery at all), which was supposed to be quiet, when we opened the window to get fresh air, there was an exhaust contraption (possibly from a kitchen) about 20 feet away that made a frustrating noise, and then to top it off the elevator didn’t work. The staff was kind and did do everything in their power to make up for these circumstances. Bottom line, the Portland Harbor Hotel price per night was extremely overpriced for what they offer.

Really excellent property. Deducted a star due to unexpected add on fees and not able to utilize outdoor amenities because of a private weeklong event. No concession offered for that.

The elevator is out of service, so I had to take the stairs to the 4th floor every day. I also noticed inconsistent pricing at the bar—on one day, I was charged a certain amount for a drink, but on another day, I was charged more for the exact same drink. Breakfast was just okay. The coffee was lukewarm, and the breakfast burrito only had eggs and tortillas, even though the menu said it included potatoes. When I asked about it, I was told the potatoes were in the burrito, but they weren’t. On a positive note, the staff was good, and the room was clean.

You are paying for location here. And the location is great, with very easy access to Old Port and a huge boon. BUT, you are PAYING. The $45 a day valet service to have your car parked at an unmonitored exterior public lot is egregious. As is the $35 amenity or resort fee. The staff were wonderful both in attitude and capability. Food was solid and the bar and outdoor area with the firepit were great. The lobby was great to laze about with coffee. The room was meh. Clean and comfortable but the bathroom had poor lighting and no fan. And the laminate flooring looks, feels and sounds cheap.
