Harbor House Hotel and Marina at Pier 21

Harbor House Hotel and Marina at Pier 21

10/10 Excellent
"The staff was very friendly and helpful. Not only was the room in perfect condition, the entire property was, too. Ample towels, nice linens, hot water, and cold a/c was very much appreciated. The breakfast provided was so well thought out with plenty of options. We especially enjoyed the pancake machine and the overall cleanliness of the breakfast room. We will stay here again! It was a fantastic experience. 10/10 highly recommend!"
