Harbor House Hotel and Marina at Pier 21
Nice hotel, friendly staff, clean rooms with easy access to the Strand and restaurants. The outside deck was closed with no furniture which is shown in the advertisements. Had booked in hopes we would be able to kick back and relax while observing the activities in the ship channel.
