Very nice historic hotel!

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 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?

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.

Beautiful Hotel and great stay!

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.

The hotel is beautiful. Not your typical hotel with check-in but it was a totally unique experience. Very cozy rooms. The only thing some people may have an issue with is no elevators which makes getting up the steps with a suitcase a little challenging but otherwise a very nice stay. There was no staff or on site services though but there is a convenient restaurant located in the hotel for lunch and dinner.
