Our room was large with a king bed and sofabed. Perfect for me and my two teenage kids. The view from our balcony was mostly of the parking lot with a side view of the ocean. It was okay but really didn’t matter as we weren’t there to sit on the balcony. Being across the street from the beach was perfection. I was easily able to wake up and walk over to witness the gorgeous sunrise on the beach. I even gave my daughter a photoshoot one of those mornings. She loved it! We thoroughly enjoyed breakfast next door at Jeanene’s. Delicious! Beware that there is a bit of a line so go first thing in the morning if you can. Two things I wish they would update - the shampoo and conditioner bottles are small and hard to use. I would much rather they had the refillable large bottles with pumps attached to the walls I’ve seen at other hotels. The other thing is I wish they had nicer pool towels. Other than that, we loved it there!

Very friendly and helpful front desk staff. Extremely clean and updated rooms. Phenomenal location across from Stearns Wharf, the beach and great restaurants. Could use more towels at the pool, though.

We had a great stay at the Harbor View Inn. We booked a City Room, 1 King Bed, Balcony, City View. Pros: Our room was a fantastic room. Although a little on the small side, it seemed to be remodeled recently and we enjoyed the newness. The bathroom was also on the smaller side but very nice. The shower provided a nice showering experience, which I love after a long day of sightseeing. Cons: There was no view of any sort. Our balcony looked directly across the street into someone else's room. There was a used bar of soap left in our shower from the last guests. There wasn't really any place to sit and eat the day we got take out. The front desk attendant was not at all friendly when we checked in. He told us how to get to our suite and that was about it. That was the last we heard or saw anyone from the hotel.

Surprisingly good.

Only negative was no one offered to take our bags to room, maybe because we stayed in a separate location from the main building. No house phone in main bedroom, only in smaller bedroom.

This property was conveniently located to many dining options and it was right in front of the beach. The staff was friendly and helpful. The only con was that parking was a little difficult. They do offer a parking option, but we arrived towards the later part of the night and there were only a few compact spaces left.
