Room
The rooms at the Pinnacle Hotel Harbourfront are generic but comfortable, with plenty of space and natural light. While the decor feels a bit dated (particularly the striped carpet), it's nothing off-putting—and the views of the harbour more than make up for it.
Tip Want more space? Update to a one-bedroom suite, which features separate living and sleeping spaces.
Bathroom
Like the rooms, the bathrooms feel a bit generic, but they're definitely larger than your typical hotel bathroom.
You Should Know The lighting in the bathrooms, particularly in the standard guestrooms, can be a little dim.
Lobby
The lobby at the Pinnacle Hote Harbourfront is open, airy, and spacious and features a lounge area that's a great place to sit down and relax before you head out to explore the city or grab a meal.
Tip Ask the front desk to borrow one of the property's bikes (it's free!) to explore the city on two wheels.
Pool
The pool and hot tub at the Pinnacle Hotel Harbourfront are both open 24/7.
Gym
The fitness center at this hotel is open 24 hours a day and has everything you need to get a solid workout in, from free weights to cardio machines (although the machines could definitely use an update).
