Harris House is convenient to everything and it's a very good value. A September stay means lots of easy parking, some of it covered. The heated pool is a real plus. Next time we would ask for a poolside room rather than streetside. Cars looking for boardwalk block parking come and go at the metered spots right outside the room and are very noisy fairly late into the night. We were wakened every morning at 5:45 by the trash truck picking up in back of the boardwalk stores across the street...that was pretty irritating. The staff is pleasant and accommodating, especially the cleaning staff, who do a great job. We arrived an hour before check in and the ladies at the desk were more than happy to let us park and check into the room since it had already been cleaned. This was our second stay here and we will definitely be back ...just in a quieter room.
