Harborline Hotel

8/10 Good
"The Harborline Hotel was perfect for us as we understood what we booked. We reserved an Executiv King Suite. It was a beautiful spacious room with a beautiful bathroom and it was super clean. The Location was great. It was within wlking distance to the main downtown and a great Mexican restaurant literally across the street and 10 minute drive to Camden downtown. The staff was nice and answered any questions we had. This is not a resort so no pool or restaurant, but that should not be a surprise. In terms of rules about the outdoor doors locked by 10, that is is true but you have a passcode that you can use to get into the premise and they give you a number if you get stuck and cannot get in This was not an issue for us as we knew what we were doing. They have donuts and coffee in the lobby which we never took advantage of just due to timing. the room had a very nice balcony and a great view of the harbor. We would stay here again any time."
