Great locationExceptional service
AndiUnited StatesClean, comfortable, attractive, rooms, perfect location, and wonderful staff.
The hotel was absolutely adorable in a perfect location. For a boutique hotel the staff was on duty 24/7 and always available with helpful spot on advice, and a great big smile. The restaurant was fantastic.
UlrichGermanyI loved it a lot and will stay there again.
Perfect location. Close to everything.
Location and staff were awesome.
JorgeArgentinaBuena ubicación para recorrer una hermosa ciudad
Lo mejor fue la ubicación
Es excesivamente caro para la calidad del hotel; la presión del agua de la ducha no era suficiente; el personal del front desk no saluda, salvo que se le dirija la palabra

I personally felt a claustrophobic as there was no window. Otherwise great.

- Whether there is room for a pickup, a trailer or a van, not just a car.
- Whether the rate moves for your dates, and what it includes.

Questions about Harborside Inn
What time is check-in and check-out at Harborside Inn?
Check-in is from 3:00 PM. Check-out is by 12:00 PM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.
Does Harborside Inn allow pets?
No — the property states that pets are not allowed.
Is there parking at Harborside Inn?
Yes — parking is available on site at a charge the property sets. We check the rate and whether a space can be reserved against your dates.
Does Harborside Inn have Wi-Fi?
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
Can I book a block of rooms at Harborside Inn?
The property lists meeting and banquet space, which usually means it handles group business — but how many rooms it will hold at once, for how long, and at what rate are set case by case and are not in any feed. Tell us the dates and the number of rooms and we'll get those terms from the property in writing before anything is charged.
Does Harborside Inn have wheelchair accessible rooms?
The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.
Can I check in late at Harborside Inn?
The property lists a front desk staffed 24 hours, so a late arrival should be possible. Standard check-in is from 3:00 PM. Rooms are still released after a cut-off at some properties regardless of the desk hours, so tell us your arrival time and we'll have them hold it.
How do I book Harborside Inn?
Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
