"The hotel has a rooftop where you can sit by the spool jets don't work and it's not a hot pool but you can see the harbor."
"By far, the best thing about Porto Vista is its location, just one block to dining in Little Italy and a short drive to the internatinal airport."
"Balcony overlooked the ocean. Came with mini fridge, sink, and a microwave."
