The hotel

Located in the heart of the Old Port, relax in one of Portland's most inviting hotels. It’s the little things that make a difference when you’re away from home. And Portland Harbor Hotel’s thought of them all – little wonder it’s received the AAA Four Diamond Award for the last 12 years. There’s the complimentary Starbucks coffee each morning; the free bikes for exploring downtown Portland (and free town car if you fancy a more leisurely ride); the bar bites accompanying that day’s martini special at the happy hour; the chance to taste Maine’s famous seafood at Eves at the Garden; and the turndown service with a naughty pre-bedtime chocolate).

We really love Portland - so many great restaurants and shops. However, we tended to just stop when we were passing through rather than spending the night. We had trouble finding a good hotel. There are plenty of chain hotels that seem super expensive for what you get. There are couple of cute B&B's, but they're always booked when I check. The Portland Harbor Hotel is our new go to place. It is a cute independent hotel right in the heart of the Old Port area. It has valet parking on site, which is important in an area without a lot of parking. We didn't try the restaurant for breakfast (we went to the Holy Donut, which is down the block), so I can't comment on that. Read less

Great location, friendly staff, beautiful hotel. What more could you ask for? We love visiting Portland and this hotel is our favorite. My only wish is that the amazing coffee service on each floor was open all day.

Overall, the stay was wonderful. The staff is excellent...very friendly, professional and accommodating. In morning, coffee in lobby was old and cream had gone sour. Should have coffee service at coffee station available earlier than 6:30 am. The food at ice bar event was great and drinks delicious. It was a wonderful and entertaining atmosphere.
