The Port Hotel

First time staying here, and would likely stay here again. Pros: Location, very comfy bed, great water pressure in shower, loved the guest lounge with coffee, pastries, breakfast sandwiches, etc.; quaint look and feel. Loved the restaurant and bar on first floor; no problems finding close parking Cons: The stairs! I didn't realize there wasn't an elevator. Not the end of the world, but lugging heavy bags up to the 3rd floor on steep stairs that don't meet code wasn't fun. Even with the A/C on, the room had a dampness to it. Would have liked extra pillows. The decorative ones on the bed weren't really doable for sleeping. Overall, we loved being so close to everything in Port Wash. The farmer's market was right out front, you can walk to everything, and the restaurant and bar was great. Two nights the fire engines/ sirens went racing by and that was a bit jolting, but very comfortable otherwise. While we had no issues, I can see not having an on-site innkeeper could be an issue if something arises.

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.

Beautiful building. Nice people.

The room and amentities and location were perfect for our trip

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

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?

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

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!!

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.
