The room was furnished nicely. The selections for breakfast were good, but many of the selections needed to be microwaved and the microwave didn't seem to be working. The carpet in the room was very stained and dirty. The shared space between the restaurant and the inn were not clean. We didnt know there was no elevator or front desk personnel until after the room was booked. This mattered to us because the room was for ky elderly parents. The stay would have been more enjoyable for them if it had a more tradition set up with actual person to person communication instead of everything being virtual or online. They don't even own a smart phone. The reason i chose this inn was because i thought it would be a more personable experience than a big name hotel like Holiday Inn. It turned out to be less clean, less personable, less convenient, and more money. Live and learn i suppose. Jim, the manager was very friendly on the phone, but i don't think they saw or spoke to him during their stay.

The staircase from hell.

Nice hotel. The downside is the STEEP and long staircase you need to haul your bags up. Whew! It would be appreciated if the hotel offered baggage service but that's not available. If schlepping your bags up and down those awful stairs is a potential issue for you, consider a different hotel.

The rooms were quite nice, I was disappointed that the restaurant," Moolight Tavern" , in the hotel, was not open on Sunday and Monday. The lounge area where we ate breakfast was welcoming and fully stocked with excellent breakfast food. Hopefully they will complete their paln to build an elevator.

Very nice historic hotel!

Lovely historic hotel with great restaurant & bar. Guest room was spacious, clean & very comfortable. Lounge offered fruit, coffee, cookies, pastries & more for guests. We would definitely recommend. Only issue for some guests might be lack of elevator as rooms are on 2nd & 3rd floors.

We had a lovely stay at the Port Hotel, and would gladly return. From the condition of the room to the friendliness of the (separate) tavern downstairs, it was a great place. We had a couple of easy questions the first day and the response from the host was timely and helpful. The location is great and there are tons of things to do nearby.

We did not know that there was no elevator. We are in our 60s and had a difficult time lifting our suitcases to the hotel on the 2nd floor. Would not have stayed there. I texted the innkeeper (not on site) and asked where the elevator was (in case I missed it). He wrote back 6 hours later with "sorry that should have been clear." Clearly not on property?
