This is our second stay at the Port Hotel. As usual, the room is older but clean. We didn't expect a 4 star hotel. But if you're looking for an "Old Florida" experience, friendly staff, perfect location, and a great view of King's Bay, this is it. They are building the new hotel next door. I don't think it will have the same charm.

Staff was very responsive. We had issues with 2 doors. One was very squeaky, and the other had a hinge come off. Maintenance had fixed both doors when we later returned to our room.

The room was furnished with items that you would get from a garage sale. They were old and overused. The carpet should have been replaced 10 years ago. The bed linen was way past its use, stained and very old. This place has great potential, but apparently the management does not want to invest. My husband and I felt like we could get some kind of disease or bedbugs from how old and overused the furnishings were.
