“Car damaged while in possession of valet service”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 February 2012
3
people found this review helpful

My cars finish was damaged by a corrosive fluid dripping in their garage, their insurance company estimates it will take 5 weeks to get a check to repair damage. I called Ryan -- to see if he would help me get payment sooner to get the repairs done, would not come to phone or return my calls. This is how you should expect to be helped if you have a problem with their services. Also very loud club next to hotel, banging and yelling can be heard until club closes at 1AM.

“Excellent service, charming, location”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 February 2012

I stayed at Portland Harbor Hotel for business. It's a charming, luxury hotel with a fantastic location. The service was impeccable. The dining room is elegant with excellent food and a nice bar. The valet parking was very convenient.

“Consistently great customer service”

We stayed here several times. The decor is nice and the rooms are upscale. What has really been great is the concierge service (Dave) who has always been helpful with restaurants and day trips. My wife and I have never been disapointed.

“Ice Bar 2012”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 January 2012
2
people found this review helpful

A group of friends and I decided to check out the Ice Bar event at the Portland Harbor Hotel this January. A few of them had already been but this was my first time.
Easy ride from Boston, valet parking at the hotel, took us maybe 4 minutes to check in with the amazingly polite and helpful Valentyna (I think that was her name, sorry if I'm wrong). She gave me my rooms keys, tickets to the event and two drink tickets. No bad for about $200.
Hit the room and was pleasantly surprised at how nice it was. Two large beds topped fantastic bedding. The bed was ridiculously comfortable. The bathroom was spacious with a separate shower stall right next to the tub.
I noticed a 'this is a no smoking floor' sign on one of the floors but there was no scent of smoke anywhere in the hotel.
Unfortunately we had to roll early in the morning so I cant comment on the housekeeping but if its in line with the rest of the service then I can only imagine it is fantastic. Woke up to a local paper outside the room and fresh coffee in the lobby. How can you beat that?
I would definitely go back and most likely will even if its just for the Ice Bar next January.
The event itself was pretty fun. It was very very crowded though, my friends and I stayed for a couple of beverages and then sought indoor activities for the rest of the night.
