Do not stay here unless youre desperate. The room is dirty and dust clouds came out from the AC unit which was held together by tape when we turned it on. No phone in the room. Tried calling the hotel from my cell but it just goes to the answering machine. The ceiling has water stains all over. Beds are old and springs poke you. Mold in the refrigerator, shredded curtains, mold and bad smell in the restroom. No amenities. The pool is drained and full of leaves. Check in was unremarkable barely a welcome or hello. Just took my money and gave me the keys.

We were heading to a cruise, so the location of the Portside was excellent (we could walk with luggage from hotel to cruise port).
The property itself is extremely dated. Pretty bad carpeting, rooms shabby (with a strange collection of furniture) and all in need of serious updating. Lots of mold/black stuff around the tub and generally tatty.
Nice looking pool, we couldn't use it as it had no water in it!

I like the location, easy walk to port, restaurants, museums. This hotel is poorly run/maintained. I could feel the springs in the mattress (plus a dip) on my side. No iron or ironing board in the room. I had to ask reception for one. No blow dryer in room. The chest drawer would not stay closed. I had to prop with a napkin. No coffee maker. Only two bath towels in room, I had to request additional. No “do not disturb door hanger”. The swimming pool area was closed and the pool empty. The window had a gap and all the outside noise came through. The entire property needs deep cleaning and a remodel.

I had a really disappointing experience at this hotel. The property is very outdated and clearly hasn’t been properly maintained. Cleanliness was a major issue—there were roaches in the room, mold in the toilet, and even eyelashes stuck to the shower curtain, which made it feel unsanitary and neglected.

Overall, it did not feel like a comfortable or safe place to stay. I would not recommend this hotel unless significant improvements are made in cleanliness and upkeep.

I selected this place for the location: it’s within walking distance to the cruise terminal. The photos are misleading. The property is older and needs repairs and cleaning. This ground floor room had updated furniture. The front sidewalks are littered with dog poop. Inside has grime in every corner. The sheets and pillowcases are stained and we found more than 1 stray hair. The faucet fixtures have white scum and calcifications. The tile was crumbling and broken in the bathroom: there was broken tile and a visible 4 inch hole with exposed concrete blocks. Other fixtures in the bathroom had corrosion and rust. There was a damp smell in this ground floor room.
We actually looked for another place to stay but couldn’t find one. So we slept in our clothes on top of the sheets and put another layer on top of the pillows. We also used the water in our bottles to brush our teeth. My son needed his inhaler all night something there triggered his asthma.

There was cigarette ash all over the bathroom vanity and sink, and the sink did not drain. When we got moved to the room next door, it reeked of dirty old cigarettes (non-smoking room) and the AC kept shorting out. So we moved back to the original room, cleaned it ourselves, brushed our teeth using the shower, and woke up to an overflowing bathroom sink (that we did not even use). The shade curtains had giant holes ripped in them.

The window door were already open upon arrival, and there were strange noises and drawers opening on their own, which made the stay feel unsafe and unsettling. It felt like someone was in the room watching. It was so late when arrived I wasn’t able to book another hotel. I should have done my research before booking but thought it seem okay since it was next to cruise port.
