We had a great stay at the Harborview Inn Hotel. The staff was very friendly and welcoming, and the grounds were well kept. The location is a huge plus—you’re right across from the beach and within easy walking distance to restaurants and shops. We also enjoyed the pool and sauna, which were both nice and relaxing. The only downside was that the hotel buildings are split across from each other, so you do have to walk a bit to get to the pool. Other than that, it was a pleasant stay and a great spot if you want to be close to the beach.

We were not expecting to be located off site from the main hotel. We had to drive through a residential neighborhood to get to our building. There was ample covered parking. We got a room with a balcony with a "city view" which ended up being a view into the neighbors house. The balcony wall ended up being too high to sit and enjoy the view anyway. The mattress was just awful, too sucken in. We did not get great sleep. The ac vent was ill placed and blew in your face all night. The hot water was great and the room had plenty of room. The in room coffee was disappointing. In order to use the amenities, we had to drive back to the main hotel, getting back into the car soaking wet after the hot tub wasn't ideal. The way the hotel charged was off, at check in, they charged my card for about 80% of the bill and at check out I was handed a bill and told I would be charged the remainder which was way more than I was originally quoted,the man tried to explain in a very confusing way,and kept making mistakes in explaining and assured I would only be charge $80 more than quited for parking. We'll see what we actually get charged.

Too pricey when rain inhibited strolling; closed nearby restaurants. With many cancellations at hotel, those who kept their rooms and battled the rain to arrive should have gotten a discount.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Room was clean and stylish. We loved having a balcony. However, we anticipated better views of the city. Our room was too far from the main hotel and amenities so we never felt comfortable going to the gym, sauna, pool or hot tub because of the long walk outside in the cold, wet conditions. Wish we were closer to that - we would have been more inclined to use them. Also, the listing on Hotels.com indicates that there are laundry facilities. However, that is misleading. There are only laundry services and no explanation about how much or the times for same-day service. Overall, the general location of the hotel is great. The room was comfortable and spacious. The housekeeper was excellent and provided us with a total daily refresh. Enjoyed ourselves overall.
