"Hot tub was old and barely working. No towels were provided for pool or hot tub. Room was clean. The bed was hard and uncomfortable and the sheets were rugged. Pillows on bed smelled. Breakfast was great."

Portland Harbor Hotel
"An attractive city hotel with contemporary rooms and a lux feeling lobby area. Ed and pillow were very good; a/c was robust. Downside: The one working elevator to the guest rooms made transit up and downstairs slow."
