This hotel is beautiful. We arrived a little early and the gal hurried and got our room finished up quickly...very nice of her.
I didnt notice the one line in the description about no elevator. The stairs are steep and my husband has walking issues, so that was an unexpected challenge. That information should be in large letters in more than one spot. But the hotel itself was quite lovely.

We loved our stay here. Charming and quant. It is an older building but that gives it the charm. Everything is up kept and the lounge area was well stocked. It was the perfect spot for my husband and I and will definitely book again.

We did not receive check in information until we arrived at location, We was never told there were stairs to get to room and there was a paper with everyones name on in the hallway not much privacy. Hotel claims breakfast was included- it was day old bakery and warmed up frozen breakfast sandwiches.

Classic Port Washington Hotel
We had a great 2 day stay at the Port Hotel It is a well restored 125 yo hotel, so classic Victorian feel with solid comfort. Lots of self serve choices in the kitchen for breakfast. The bar connected to the hotel was crazy good with nice wine and whiskey (125 bottles) choices. Dinner was good too. We could see the harbor from our room Will stay here again

It was nice and quiet. Stairs were a little rough, since I just had a knee replacement. Also, kind of weird not having a "front desk", but the restore was awesome. The free pastries and coffee was awesome.

Port Hotel weekend
The hotel is a recent remodel and the room was great. Bed was very comfortable. Room was clean. Bath and towels were great. Location is perfect as you can walk to all the great shops and food joints. Oh and 2 blocks to the beautiful port parks and marina. There is not front desk to check-in at so that is unusual but not a problem. Check-in details are provided upon booking.
Parking is easy and free. Neighborhood is quiet.

The Port Hotel is very quaint. It is in a great location to walk just about anywhere. It is always quiet at night. The hotel has a nice coffee area with great pastries. We love staying there whenever we are in town.
On a bad note, our bathroom ran out of toilet paper, and there wasn't any to be had anywhere. Good thing there was tissues.
