Front desk staff very friendly. Accommodated our request for a lower level room. Restaurant/tiki bar area just wonderful. Able to see manatees right by the tiki bar!! Food was very good. Only downside, rooms are very very old. Major need of updating. However, they are doing construction on 2 new buildings, so i would not hold it against them. Super location!!
Right off side of tiki bar/restaurant, next to my table!!

Damaged entry door was insecure with large gaps around the door and marginal deadbolt engagement. Loose latch. Insufficient lighting in the room with only one reading lamp at the nightstand between the beds. There was no hot water on two of the three mornings that we stayed there. Large cockroach found on the bedspread in the evening. Great location and beautiful sunsets however. Maybe we just got a bad room.

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.
