“The Port Hotel And Marina wins on location and its appealing, if slightly timeworn, Old Florida vibe. While some may find the accommodations a bit rough around the edges, the on-site tiki bar and restaurant certainly sweeten the deal. I think it's a solid choice for those prioritizing waterfront access and a relaxed atmosphere over pristine luxury.”
