“The residence-like suites here impress with their sophisticated design and well-equipped kitchens, offering a comfortable and quiet base for exploring the bustling Old Port. While the proximity to shops and restaurants is undeniable, guests should be aware of potentially steep on-site parking fees and a contactless check-in process that can take a moment to navigate.
