Top Pier 21 Hotel Reviews

The 1890 Freeman House

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was great. Loved the atmosphere."

The Mansion on 17th

8/10 Good

"Beautiful old mansion near port. Needs work. Breakfast included. Happy hour that includes complimentary drinks. No elevator, 3 story, be prepared. Especially if you’re put on the 3rd floor like us."

Hotel Lucine

8/10 Good

"We found this last minute. It is a redone hotel from the 1960’s and absolutely adorable. They did a great job keeping the aesthetics up, with modern amenities. That being said, our air conditioner went out and the staff did notify us by text when it occurred and kept us informed, however, it still was not completely repaired before checkout. They made it right refunding part of our stay. The rooftop bar seemed like a very popular spot and the music sounded amazing. Our only complaint is the parking, it it horrendous and there is no way to know who is a guest and who is not, parking on the backside of the hotel is not the best option. The location is great being on the Seawall, but was a bit further east than we thought, so somewhat far from everything."
