What guests say
8.8 / 10 · Very good on Booking.com, from 277 guest reviews
Harbor House Inn earns strong praise for its unbeatable downtown location, warm and attentive staff, and thoughtful touches like homemade caramels and a solid continental breakfast. However, a handful of guests flag that rooms feel dated relative to the price point, and those near the waterfront fountain should be prepared for noise in the evenings. Overall, the sentiment is very positive, with most visitors saying they would return.
