I enjoyed my stay at the Portland Harbor Hotel, largely due to its fantastic location and friendly staff. However, I was disappointed with the condition of my room, which had some noticeable wear and tear, and I felt the amenities were lacking for the price point. Overall, while there are strong positive aspects, improvements are needed in room maintenance and services offered. 😐
