Fodor's "Making luxury its primary focus, the Harbor Hotel has become a favorite with business travelers seeking meetings on a more intimate scale and vacationing guests who want high-quality service."
Concierge "Despite the ample number of rooms it still has a feeling of creative intimacy: chocolate lobsters on the pillows at turndown, and a concierge who takes to special requests with gusto."

Ask for a garden view, which overlooks a lovely central courtyard.
Lonely Planet "Portland's finest hotel radiates period appeal from the coiffed lobby to the classically fitted rooms with sunny gold walls and pert blue toile bedspreads." Full review
Star Service "Westin's only serious competition, and the better of the two for individuals, this is a glove fit for fans of regional flavor and those that don't need to cash in loyalty rewards points." Full review

Reviews for the accommodations were a bit more mixed: Some said their digs were clean and comfortable, while others lamented their small size and recommended booking a room that doesn't overlook the street to avoid disruptive neighborhood noise.
Condé Nast Traveler "A decidedly more modern personality with nautical vibes...it's one of the better high-end hotels in the Old Port and its character shines through in a way it doesn't always at bigger chains." Full review
Frommer's "The interior courtyard throws off European ambience; large rooms are furnished with queen- and king-size beds and spacious work desks. Even the standard rooms are outfitted with armoires" Full review
