Positive Reviews
positive:
Good mid-priced option
Guests find that the Courtyard Portland North Harbour is a decent choice for a mid-priced hotel. The rates by no means fall into the budget category but are not too high to price out guests who seek decent service and facilities for a reasonable and competitive price.
positive:
Enjoyable dining
Reviews suggest that the on-site Bistro restaurant offers an enjoyable breakfast at a decent price. Furthermore, the staff is described as attentive. The restaurant is also a nice place to grab an evening meal, although a number of guests also comment that there is a good choice of restaurants in the area.
positive:
Nice location
Many guests find this hotel's location on the river a relaxing spot. The riverside terrace is a highlight and since it can hold up to 400 guests, it rarely feels crowded. Plus, area attractions are rarely more than a 15 to 20-minute drive from the property.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Some issues with rooms
Although most guests rate the standard of the rooms and suites highly, there do appear to be a few concerns. Several guests describe the Wi-Fi as slow and others suggest that thin walls mean you can hear other people walking around, taking a shower, or watching TV.
negative:
Tight parking
A number of guests found that the parking underneath the hotel to be tight and tricky to navigate, with some also commenting that they found the area a little sketchy at night. On the plus side, an open lot across the street (owned by the hotel) is also available.
negative:
Hallways need updates
A minor point perhaps, but a few guests mention that the hallways of this hotel could do with some attention. The decor is starting to show its age and the carpets need a deep clean.
