The property is beautiful, the staff is kind, and the rooms are spacious and clean. It was great to have a safe place to park the car while having so many things to do within walking distance. Being able to grab a quick breakfast before heading out was great too! We loved our stay here!

Portland Harbor Hotel
Lovely old hotel in the heart of Portland. Loved the pantry, the staff were friendly and our room was quiet and comfortable. We got a great price from Hotels.com. We would love to stay here again but the normal rate is too steep for us.
