7.8/10 Good! (1,032 reviews)

Front desk was awesome! Very helpful and great in helping me. Overall however I would not say the room was worth $240 for one night. Sheets had stains as did the towels. The room had AC but had a funky smell to it. Again, the people and service were great! Quality of the room and hotel far below expectations based on the price. Would not stay there again.

9.2/10 Wonderful! (31 reviews)

Staff were very kind and attentive. Building had been upgraded and well maintained. It felt a little odd being on campus and being away from the trendy areas but loved the view of the harbor and supporting the hospitality students.

I was blown away by the Portland Harbor Hotel! I loved the backyard, it was beautiful and cozy and such a nice touch! We enjoyed a beautiful evening out there sipping wine. The rooms and lobby were beautiful as well, and the complimentary coffee and tea was such a nice touch. The staff was so friendly and attentive, and shared lots of tips about the area! I wish we stayed here longer!
