I stayed here before an early morning of fishing. Very friendly staff, quick check in and out. Nice sized room with fridge. I forgot my phone charger and they mailed it to me the next day. I arrived to late to check out the restaurant and bar, but it is nice they have one there. And the marina is less... More

Very nice hotel! The location is second to none in the area; it is right on the lake with access to the boat docks and many great shops and restaurants in the downtown area. Plenty of parking and easy access to the parking lot. I would recommend this and certainly will stay again.

The hotel is a great place to stay, it's right on the water and there's good fishing about 20ft away. We stayed in one of the original rooms and we were very happy. The hotel does need some TLC but from what I heard they are doing a renovation soon. Service was great and the rooms were quiet. The hotel... More

The hotel was just average. Decor was seriously outdated. Very limited seating in the pool area, which was loud and hot (poor ventilation and sound absorption). Rooms had heating and cooling issues - either it was too hot or too cold. Every time I entered my room, I had to scan my card at least 10 times before it would... More

We've been staying here for nearly 40 years. The hotel has had different owners over that time, but it has always been a great place to stay. We come each year for a peaceful late winter getaway, as we love the charming harbor town of Port Washington. The staff and facilities have always been excellent. It has become a tradition... More

Just got back from yet another annual winter overnight at the Holiday Inn. We typically get one of the king whirlpool suites that were created back in the 1990s with the hotel's new addition.

This was the host hotel for a wedding we attended. This is a good hotel, but has a few issues. The rooms are average, but have some nice views. The bar is kind of nice. Would have enjoyed breakfast, but there are better places in the town to eat.

This property was originally a Best Western and converted to a Holiday Inn. In the early 90's a new section was added where all of the nicer rooms which face the Port Washington Lighthouse and harbor are located. There is a nice indoor pool and whirlpool, a small fitness room, and a restaurant and bar all on the lower level.... More

I knew going in that it would be the most costly of the local hotels because of its "Location" however who ever owns this franchise has milked it dry. The carpeting appears to be 40 years old and so do the bathrooms it really wasnt very clean either.
