2008 Harley Davidson Event in Milwaukee

Wednesday, September 26th, 2007

Many Harley Davidson riders coming to Milwaukee in 2008 will have been there in 2003 and 1998; a handful will have been guests at the Port Washington Inn during those previous events.
We’ve been getting calls but have not opened up our online reservation system for bookings in 2008.
If you are looking for accommodations for that event, the good news is we have availability and you can call us (1-877-794-1903) to book for this event!
Our guests enjoy wonderfully comfortable rooms, generous common areas both inside and outside,
great food (including a full breakfast prepared in our new kitchen),
complimentary beverage center, homemade treats, wonderful coffee AND off-street lighted parking!

Port Washington has a variety of good restaurants, Lake Michigan, parks, and much more.

Noelle’s Room:

Grace’s Suite: $220/night

Top of the World Suite: $248/night (this suite ONLY will accommodate up to four people; there is an extra person charge of $75/night)

Autumn in Port Washington

Monday, September 3rd, 2007

Having moved to Port Washington from Iowa, we are especially aware of the moderating effect Lake Michigan has on the climate along its shores.

Spring is delayed but autumn is prolonged by this lake effect.
Come enjoy the inn in autumn!
