Portland Harbor Hotel
Lovely old hotel in the heart of Portland. Loved the pantry, the staff were friendly and our room was quiet and comfortable. We got a great price from Hotels.com. We would love to stay here again but the normal rate is too steep for us.

The bathroom needed more cleaning. Baseboards hadn’t been dusted in a long time, looked like mold around sink and bath tub was very slippery.
