Lovely historic hotel with great restaurant & bar. Guest room was spacious, clean & very comfortable. Lounge offered fruit, coffee, cookies, pastries & more for guests.
We would definitely recommend. Only issue for some guests might be lack of elevator as rooms are on 2nd & 3rd floors.
We had a lovely stay at the Port Hotel, and would gladly return. From the condition of the room to the friendliness of the (separate) tavern downstairs, it was a great place. We had a couple of easy questions the first day and the response from the host was timely and helpful. The location is great and there are tons of things to do nearby.
Very nice hotel
Beautiful area

We did not know that there was no elevator. We are in our 60s and had a difficult time lifting our suitcases to the hotel on the 2nd floor. Would not have stayed there. I texted the innkeeper (not on site) and asked where the elevator was (in case I missed it). He wrote back 6 hours later with "sorry that should have been clear." Clearly not on property?
Absolutely loved this little cute hotel- it had such a charm to it. Hotel was very quiet and had so much to offer as well. There is a kitchen with snacks and drinks and a resturant bar on the main floor. So close to shops resturants and the lake as well! We def will be back

There was no elevator, and there was three flights of stairs to climb. I had a very peaceful sleep however, the room was lovely.
The room was cozy, clean, comfortable. I enjoyed the 2nd floor lounge with lots of choices of food, snacks, and treats.
I didn't mind to lack of elevator although it may be problematic for some.

We had a little trouble with check in procedures but after that everything was wonderful. Spacious clean rooms, comfortable lounge, walking distance to downtown. Just a pleasant experience.
We ended up booking the hotel at the very last minute. The hotel innkeeper called us to make sure we knew how to check in and that we were aware of the amenities that were offered. We had a great time exploring downtown Port Washington. It is a very unique hotel to stay at.
We stayed one night at the Port Hotel. It is a gorgeous facility. It does not have an elevator and the stairs are very narrow to walk up three flights. It is self check-in. There was a storm that came late that night and it was very loud in our third floor bedroom. The bed was incredibly comfortable. The in room, Jacuzzi was very nice.
We enjoyed our time at the Port Hotel. Our room was very clean other than a few coffee spots on the carpet. The bathroom was large and easy to get ready. The lounge area is adorable with lots of great snacks and breakfast food to make. Charming hotel close to everything downtown.
Lovely hotel and dining area. Beautiful room. The only thing is we were expecting a private hot tub as described in the description of the room and there wasn’t one.
