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.

The cost of the hotel is decent enough for the location, but the $45 charge per night for valet parking is ridiculous! We assumed for our stay of 6 days the valet would be $270 added to our hotel bill. There was a total $410 valet fee on our final bill. We enjoyed the hotel, but I felt there were so many hidden costs that I will never stay there again.

PHH- Still the best!

PHH was really the first "upscale" property in old port..And still the best! We have stayed there countless times in the past, and stayed at most of the other properties in town. Service, location and hotel property can't be beat!

Great place to stay in Portland!

We were very impressed with the Portland Harbor Hotel and I mentioned to my husband several times that we will be staying there again the next time we travel to Portland. It was also a very convenient walk to the Cross arena. The staff were all excellent and very friendly!

Cute hotel, conveniently located, staff friendly, room was okay, bed was uncomfortable on one side, heater-airconditioner unit was extremely loud when turning on and off. Destination fee was ridiculous addition, you had to eat or drink at the property to have it deducted, therefore you spend much more. Liked the coffee bar on each floor, nice touch.
