We enjoyed our stay at Harborside. It was relaxing, we had some good food and drinks, the views are lovely, and the staff were kind.
We couldn't help but notice, however, how many things needed touching up around the property. Chipped paint, loose ceiling fixtures, faulty soap dispensers, a bathroom door that wouldn't stay closed...it just felt like a lot of small details weren't getting any attention. The same could be said for cleanliness around the property, as we noticed the occasional beer bottle cap on the ground, sidewalk in need of pressure-washing, or visible dumpster with trash piled around it. This place just needs better care of the property all around.
Also, in case it's not obvious from the pictures, the fireplaces in the rooms are not real fireplaces but rather space heaters that display lights that kind of resemble a fire.
All that said, we really did enjoy our time here. It's a great location with a free shuttle that runs you to and from downtown, and you receive a token upon check-in to redeem for free drinks or candy from the Marina store. Whether you're staying at Harborside or the Beach Club, you get access to all the property amenities. The pools at the beach club are great, and the pool and Tiki Bar staff were especially kind and accommodating.
We'd absolutely consider staying here again if they give the place a little more TLC.
