I travel a lot and enjoy "a local flavour" to my overseas hotel experiences, so to me the ambiance at this hotel is worth more than the price of the room.
Safe - YES
Clean - YES
Reasonably priced - YES
Restaurant - A 2nd floor, open-veranda-type dining experience.
The "fried chicken soup" is a home-style meal in itself, but not on the menu and requires overnight notice but is a meal to die for - especially with a touch of Haitian hot sauce added. (the cooks pumpkin base soup is, I think, tastier than her veggie base soup but both are great meals)
Hotel Management - Very plesant and accomidating people.
Pool and poolside bar (really the entire facility) - Where are you Ernest Hemmingway?
Recommended - Highly ... if ... what I describe here fits your thirst for something unique and a bit different. (If however all you plan to do is stay in your room and watch TV then other options may be more to your liking).
Downsides:
Not all rooms have the latest upgrades - but not a problem, at least not for me.
Taxi service to/from the airport is typically Haitian.

I am an American citizen living in Seattle and I spend a great deal of time in Port au Prince.
Hotel accomidations in Haiti need to be taken seriously because long distances and bad roads can easity turn a plesant visit into a chore.
I looked around and decided on staying at the HH on a regular basis and I have not been disappointed with my decision.

HH is not your standard, impersonal, "cookie-cutter travelers hotel" like the sort found everywhere.
HH is more of a family oriented residence - frequently with lots of kids around and faith-based and medical-based relief workers from the USA staying there.

The bricks used as facade in the reception area come from old houses being demolished in the city and are said to be 200 or so years old making them most likely, ballast from early trade ships coming from Europe to Hispaniola. Kinda neat, I think.

The HH is family owned hotel, located about 15-20 minutes from the PauP airport.
The owners work on-site, are easily accessable, and do their best to accomidate their guests.

Is it the Hilton? No, not at all, but to me ... much more enjoyable ... and I for one, wouldn't trade.

Before the January 2010 earthquake I would have rated this hotel higher, because even though it falls far from any luxury, it was comfortable and the price made it a good value. But because of the big NGO’s that flooded the country after the earthquake and their willingness to pay anything for their crews and executives lodging and meals, all the hotels and restaurants raised their prices through the ceiling, and now almost two years later they have not lowered those prices again. So here is the Habitation Hatt, a hotel if in the United States you would rate it below some of the worst as far as decor, comfort, and cleanliness, and you have to pay a small fortune to stay there. Yes there’s a swimming pool, but it’s usually pretty cloudy and can be mobbed with kids, because it seems many adoptive parents come here when visiting children they are in the process of adopting.

I have always thought the restaurant, open-air along one wall, at a second-floor level overlooking the pool and grounds, was a nice place, good ambiance, VERY friendly staff and good service, and excellent food. Problem is, again after the earthquake, the menu prices shot up almost 50% for all items, so maybe if you didn’t know that you’d think the prices were OK.

I've stayed at HH several times, and for extended stays. They have made upgrades to some rooms and have added new linens and paint. The location is perfect for my job. I enjoy being able to swim during the hot summer after working all day.
I love that I have AC at night. It is mostly quiet at the hotel, and I always feel safe.
The staff is willing to help, and they go above and beyond for me.

What first attracted me to Habitation Hatt was that it was very close to the airport. I was welcomed by a nice staff, and checking in was very easy. They even have a very entertaining parrot at the front, which made me laugh. The room was spacious and clean. The hotel offered free internet so i was able to do work. The food was very good, and the restaurant had a good environment. I felt very safe at the hotel which was very important to me.
