Great bay view, great front desk help. Hotel was a definite 1 star only. Everything is dated OLD. Lots of repairs needed throughout room and property. Bedding was clean so no complaints there. Pricing was a little high for a 1 star hotel with limited amenities. Paying for the view.

Sort of weird. The hotel is currently literally inside a construction zone - you have to drive down a rough dirt road to get there. The room is quite run-down (the construction is replacing the current structure). But everything - wifi, AC, plumbing - works. The free continental breakfast is a joke. However, it is on the water. The back door of the room opens right onto the bay. We saw manatees and a dolphin right there. The attached restaurant is just fine.

The restaurant and dock next door were pretty, as pictured, and there was a gorgeous view out of the room window, but the hotel itself was shady. It was old, dirty, dilapidated, and falling apart. Rusty lights, caulking on the floor, door jambs were rotting out. Four locks on the door, some of which did not work. For $120, I would have expected something a little less ancient. Room did have hardwood floors, and the hotel staff was very nice.

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!!

The property was old looking, but the rooms have the little porch right off the room looking over the river was great. The water pressure in the shower was awesome. We thought the bed was so comfortable. It was a great night sleep. The staff was perfect! It was my 60th birthday and my daughter went there to see if she could put something in our room and she said they were great helping her. I arrived and the girl said Happy Birthday as soon as she saw my name. Then when I was checking out that girl said Happy Birthday also. We will be back and the new property looks awesome. We would love to have a room on the water again. Also the Tiki Bar gave me a free shot to celebrate my special day! Thanks for making me birthday so special!

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.
