Portland Harbor Hotel
We (and our kids!) loved the “pantry” on each floor — fruit, snacks, cookies, tea, coffee. It was a much-appreciated surprise. Room was clean and quiet, and all staff were friendly and helpful.

Check in was a nightmare. Key machine did not work and it took over an hour to get in to a room where the key only worked once. After finally getting in I was assigned a different room as we couldn’t get the key to work.
