“The Waterfront Suites' marina location is definitely a highlight, and the pet-friendly policy without added fees is a practical advantage. The friendly staff made a solid impression, from the front desk to housekeeping; plus, having air conditioning is welcome. While the building may show its age, the harbour views and waterfront access are certainly a draw.”
