Guest reviews
The Harbour Inn averages 4.6 out of 5 across 790 reviews. A selection, quoted as written:
Good sized rooms, a little dated. Very comfortable beds. Bathroom could've been cleaner. Shower barely warm, called reception and was told they would check it and call back, but they didn't, very disappointing. Had a delicious meal in the restaurant, lovely staff there.
Everything about the Harbour Inn was OK. Check in was without undue delay and efficient. The rooms seem to have had a recent refurbishment, clean, reasonably comfortable. The shower had a good strong power-shower pressure. We ate in the restaurant/bar (more restaurant than bar) on the first night of three, it was OK but we didn't feel like going back. Breakfast ok, but awful coffee. Plenty of free parking, great location, quiet, warm rooms. I've stayed in worse
