I love the hotel. It’s very nice and I believe the staff is great. It’s a shoulder season in Maine. So, not a lot of tourists around. We live nearby and understand. We had apps and drinks in the dining room. The mussels with frites …. Excellent! The grits with beef ribs .. excellent, The room was NCO if your military you know, The valet parking was great. The front desk staff was very good. The shower was granite and w hot ! Free snacks and drinks and coffee. I have nothing to complain about.

The building was beautiful and the room offered a nice enough view of the city. Some things that weren’t all that great, the bathroom was ehh the shower had a weird gray slim on it. It only covered the area the water didn’t hit. We used a hand towel to step on.The floors throughout our room were also super sticky. I noticed that the cleaners used a lint roller on the floors so maybe that’s what we felt. Lastly the bartender was pretentious and a bit rude. Other than that, valet was awesome the location was perfect walking distance from a lot of great places and the gym was small but nice equipment and very clean.

The hotel is located in the heart of downtown Portland, right across from the Hyatt. It has an old charm, but the sheets and beds could use some improvement. We stayed during the off-season, so when we arrived, there was plenty of parking right in front of the entrance. However, valet parking was the only option at $45. If they offered self-parking for a reduced fee, it would be much better.

DECADES OF STAYING AT PHH

I've / we've been staying at the PHH for at least for 35 years. I'm in the music business and always did mastering of albums with Bob Ludwig at Gateway Mastering in Portland. More recently, my assistant, Virginia Andrew, lives in Buxton, ME and we always get together twice a year for dinner at Fore Street. We're always delighted with our stays and will continue to be loyal customers.

Portland Harbor Hotel is a beautiful hotel. The rooms are large and comfortable. The staff is friendly and helpful. We had dinner at the hotel one night - it was pouring, and were disappointed. The food was fine, but not up to par in a great food city. There was always coffee available, and snack areas on some floors - even bottled water. Valet was very fast. They should make sure the snack areas are stocked. They were a wonderful amenity when they were. I would stay here over any other hotel in the city.
