The Port Hotel

While I wanted to love this property, there were some big omissions that really need to be addressed. The room was well appointed and very cozy; however, there was very little toilet paper on the roll when we arrived (with no backups) & when we called & texted the proprietor to get more, our calls went completely unanswered. He was very responsive, accommodating & nice when we made the reservation. There were extra toiletries & towels to be had, but no toilet paper! So, we had to secure our own in town. Yes, really! The tv never worked either! Additionally, one of the Kleenex boxes was empty & a drink stirrer was prominently laying on the floor, so whomever made up the room, did not do it well. I do know that the entire hotel had been rented out the night before for a wedding party, but still! My concern is that without a proprietor available even by phone, what if there were a real emergency and no one was available?

This is real Americana, a wonderful, welcoming -- and historic! -- place to stay in a wonderful town on Lake Michigan. The rooms are authentically furnished, and supremely comfortable with great beds, pillows (our room even had a gas fireplace, lovely!). The hotel's lounge is fantastic -- everything you need for breakfast and snacks, generously stocked with fresh pastries, fruit, yogurts, breakfast burritos, energy bars, cereals of all kinds, juices, beer, coffees and tea. Host Jim Read made this a truly unforgettable stay -- in a town where there's great shopping, great restaurants (including one in the hotel), and excellent lakeside walks. a great bargain, too. We'll definitely be back!!

Amazing stay. Gorgeous room! Quiet and comfortable. And well stocked. Will definitely return.

We had a good time at Port Hotel. We enjoyed the extras provided for us in the lounge. The room was very clean. I guess this was the off season so it was very quiet. Port Washington is a nice weekend getaway.

The Port Hotel was fantastic. It was spacious, comfortable, and elegantly decorated with a charming and quaint ambiance. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable stay.

Very nice hotel, clean and great location. We would stay here again.

This was the 2nd time we stayed here, and it did not disappoint. We ate at the restaurant downstairs this time, and it was fabulous! Love this place, can't wait to get back.

We enjoyed our stay at The Port Hotel. We will definitely plan on a return visit.

We stayed at the Port Hotel on Friday and Saturday nights in mid October. It is a wonderful small hotel. Our room (306) was very large and had a hot tub in the main part of the room. There is a couch and comfortable chair. The bathroom is divided; sink in one area and toilet and walk-in shower in a separate room. This is not a bed and breakfast, but there are frozen omelettes, juice, etc. in the second-floor lounge. We saw the owner a few times and he is very pleasant. There is an excellent restaurant on premises. The neighborhood is good. There are two things we did not like. The steps are steep and the rooms are on the second and third floors. If you can’t handle steps, don’t stay here. The other is minor. By today’s standard, the TV is small. All in all, Port Hotel is a great place to stay.
