SpringHill Suites by Marriott Punta Gorda Harborside
Great hotel in a great location. Parking is definitely an issue. If there not enough spots for guests. You shouldn’t charge to valet cars. Definitely unfair. Pool isn’t heated so it’s super cold, staff was friendly, hotel breakfast was hit n miss, great first day, horrible second.
