Verified Reviews of Harbor House at Pier 21
Below are the verified reviews from guests that we have booked recently: "Not As Outstanding As The Cost."
Overall Score3.0/ 5
I understand that it was Mardi Gras and I had to make a last minute reservation due to an emergency, but for $500+ you could have put double ply toilet paper in the bathroom. The desk lamp didn't work and the cheapest plastic desk chair was a joke. I wouldn't stay here again.

Nice room and staff. One can actually set the thermostat and the A/C will provide the actual temperature that is set. Had a room facing the water with a nice view.

If you are cruising this is a great one night hotel to stay at because you are so close to the Terminals for all cruise lines. It's just not worth the $$ Will most likely find another location next time.
