South Effingham Vacations from $679

The room was very clean!

I had a wonderful stay at Portland Harbor Hotel and would absolutely recommend it! The location is perfect—right in the heart of the Old Port, making it easy to walk to shops, restaurants, and the waterfront. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming from the moment we arrived, always going out of their way to make sure everything was perfect. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-appointed, with a cozy yet upscale feel. One of my favorite parts was the outdoor courtyard—it’s such a relaxing spot to unwind after a day exploring Portland. Overall, it was a great experience, and I’d definitely stay here again on my next trip to Maine!

Beautiful space, clean room, friendly and accommodating staff, excellent location

This was my first trip away since having kids 12 years ago. The staff was very friendly, helpful and attentive. The parking lot, lobby, halls and room were very clean. Our dinner and breakfast at the Inn were absolutely delicious. The ingredients were fresh and the flavors complimented each other well. It was difficult to make a choice on what to order. We didn't have a pet with us but did see several dogs during dining and were impressed with dog menu. I would highly recommend to anyone to stay at the Inn and if you are unable to at least have a meal in the restaurant. We are already planning a longer stay next time.

The property is amazing and the staff were polite and very attentive. It’s a negative for me that I couldn’t take my 8 year old in the outdoor pool, but I’m sure if i wasn’t there with a child I’d appreciate a kid-free zone. The indoor pool was pretty filthy, with some wrappers and things floating in the water. The room service food was surprisingly just okay, with watery omelettes, minimalist potatoes for breakfast, a namesake pork sandwich that leaned toward a Cuban but took a left hand toward a crockpot pork. The chefs plate charcuterie was fine except for some form of pate that appeared as if the chef had chewed up some prosciutto , formed it into a rectangle, and pressed two pistachio bits it. I figured it for a nasty kitchen prank on the wealthy snobs paying $35 for a lunch able, so I left it behind. I can’t lie — the whole milk from a local farm that was supplied on each floor’s coffee bar was the best milk I’ve ever tasted in my life. I literally skipped the coffee and drank the milk by the glass, this cannot be overstated as trivial as it seems.
