The Port of Prescott Boutique Hotel

Picture this. 12- 40ish yr old mom friends who planned and booked a getaway back in April for an Oct. stay. A treasured time to spend together away from our incredibly busy lives of juggling our professional careers, children, husbands, pets, households etc. A time to completely let loose, have fun, laugh, and leave our worries behind. We chose The Port because of its beautifully decorated rooms, with enough space to house us all, it's desirable proximity to restaurants, bars, shops and the St. Croix. In fact The Port is DIRECTLY across the street from Scabs- a local dive bar that boasts live music with outdoor bands, filled inside & out with adults drinking and partying long into the early morning hours- which you can hear clear as day in your room. In fact The Port is within a block of pretty much all the bars in town, plus the backyard liquor store! The walls of The Port are very thin, so there is very little privacy from your neighbors or outdoor noise, especially the loud train that frequently runs through the town.  The Port was very desirable to our group as it clearly advertises that "parties are allowed" and "a great place for girls/guys weekends". We booked The Port for Thurs, Fri and Sat. To our surprise and excitement, we found out the annual Flood Run motorcycle ride was coming to Prescott that Sat. It is a wonderful charity event that filled the street in front of The Port with hundreds of top of the line, beautifully loud motorcycles with fabulous riders. Reving bikes, live bands, people celebrating and having the best time, filled the whole day Sat from sun up to well beyond sun down. We heard every motorcycle, laugh, word being said outside The Port (starting at 6am Sat morning) but did not let it bother us, we enjoyed that others were having a great time too!!  Mysteriously we had no problem Thurs or Fri, but for a little more than 1 hr on Sat from about 730p-845p we were, according to Megan the owner of The Port, the worst humans she has ever encountered, even though she has never met any of us. As you can see from other reviews we were charged an extra $400 for "being loud". This $400 was our security deposit that was for damages (this is stated in the rental agreement and says nothing about noise.) Summarizing- we were gone all day Sat. We came back to The Port for that short time to get ready for the night out. Our mistake, that we fully admitted to and apologized for, was leaving a door open to the room we were meeting in prior to heading out again. We were having a blast, laughing, and talking loud with some walking between rooms- so with the door open and the thin walls I 100% believe and can understand we were disruptive to other guests. The problem is no one came and said a word to us in that short time. We would have gladly quieted down and shut the door. Instead we were threatened by Megan over the phone. No warning, no civil conversation telling us we were being loud. Only a proven lie that she had called the police on us. There is no record of this. Besides that 1hr, there were no other issues. Megan sent us the video proof of us being "horrible humans" which showed us walking in the halls, laughing, and talking loud. I am asking Megan now to please post these videos in your inevitable rebuttal, full of lies and exaggeration, to this review. I would also ask AGAIN to show proof the other guests left and a refund was given. One of the couples checked in at 6p when we were leaving, and supposedly checked out 3hrs later? The story doesn't quite add up. But it's not surprising Megan would lie about this too. If they actually left, was it because of 1hr of us being loud, or more likely a combination of that 1hr plus the extremely loud block party, 100s of bikers, live bands, hooting and hollering that was happening at the same time. Megan will write something grossly false misrepresenting us in response to this. And also apparently delete this review, like she has the others. As we were warned by several locals she is deceitful, conniving, and incredibly greedy. Our lawyer has written a very professional request for proof and a response, which she refuses to give.  I urge you to stay away from The Port for girls weekends as advertised, but more importantly stay away from Megan!

I recently stayed at The Port Hotel for what was supposed to be a fun and relaxing girls' getaway, but our experience was anything but enjoyable. Despite the hotel's advertised reputation as a perfect spot for groups of women, we encountered several frustrating issues during our stay. Firstly, my group of professional women was falsely accused of being drunk and loud, which was simply untrue. We were having a few drinks and enjoying each other's company, but we were respectful of our surroundings. To our shock, we were informed that we would not receive our deposit back, which was supposedly for potential property damage to which nothing was damaged. This left us feeling scammed and unfairly treated. Additionally, the hotel manager claimed they had called the police over noise complaints, but we called the police department and that was a complete lie. It felt like they were trying to cover their tracks instead of addressing the situation professionally. I cannot recommend The Port Hotel for a girls' getaway or any stay; based on this experience. Instead of enjoying a relaxing weekend, we left feeling wronged and cheated. Save your money and look elsewhere for a hospitable and enjoyable environment.

I really wanted to write a positive review for this place due to its great location near bars, boutiques, and the river. However, my experience with the PORT Hotels owner was quite disappointing. There is not many places to stay and most are owned by the same owner. The property is marketed as welcoming for girls' weekends and bachelorette parties, yet we received a call around 8 PM stating that the owner had called the police on us for being too loud, even though we weren't there at the time. We apologized and assured her that we would be quieter in the future, especially since it was not during the designated quiet hours. Despite being considerate of our noise level, the owner was untruthful about contacting the police and was quite rude. The next day, we were notified that she was keeping all our deposits—totaling $400—due to the supposed inconvenience of our noise during our short stay., but also stating she hopes we come back in the future. The listing clearly states that deposits are meant for damages, and we hadn’t caused any. We were respectful and apologetic upon learning about the one noise complaint, and yet the owner falsely claimed she had called the police without any warning and was withholding our money. She also alleged that another couple nearby was upset and that she needed to refund them, but she provided no evidence of this or any warning prior to the exaggerated reaction beforehand. Eventually, we had to involve a lawyer, but she refused to communicate with them. During our visit, we spoke with locals who mentioned that this type of behavior is common for her, and she isn’t well-liked in the community. I would advise caution if considering staying here or at any of her other properties, as her actions seem quite shady. Do not stay here or any of her properties. She is a scammer and will make any excuse to steal your money!!!

Checking out the local saloons

The toilet made a loud dripping noise and the trains were loud.

Downtown Prescott is quaint and fun!!!

I didn't mind the train going by all hours at all. My husband not so much 😁

Nice furnishings, clean, modern, good location

It was so cute and well stocked. We were very impressed.

Parking was a little confusing since we are nit familiar with the town. But we figured it out.
