Hotels
After some time travelling round sunesta and hotmellia couldn’t be bothered looking any further, and went for an Egyptian job costing $30. No Internet connection, hence no blogs for a couple of days.
Tourism
There isn’t much by way of tourism, but what is to be seen is easily taken in with one of the guides horse and carriage tours which last about 1 hr.
This took me to the bazar, past the military museum, which was closed, past the chapel of st. Eustice and a couple of mosques.
Here are a couple of shots of town to give you the idea.
Lighthouse, Port Sa-id 
War Memorial, Port Sa-id 
Caddilac, Port Sa-id
I would say Port Said would be worth visiting as a stop-off point.
If you want to see the ships, stick to the desert south of Said.
