"Friendly staff 👍👍"

Portland Harbor Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Everything from check-in to check-out was wonderful. The staff was friendly and very helpful. The room was nicely decorated, the bed was very comfortable, and the shower pressure was good. There is a "pantry" on each floor with free coffee, tea, pastries, fruit and yogurt in the morning. And in the afternoon they refilled it with cookies and waters. We enjoyed breakfast sandwiches from the restaurant and drinks from the bar. There are plenty of seats in the garden to relax outdoors after a day of sight seeing and shopping. The hotel is in a perfect location right on the corner of two main streets and steps away from shopping, restaurants and the wharf. We had a great experience here and would highly recommend it."
