My partner and I loved this hotel. The parking was a little pricey and per night so it definitely adds up. However it was very convenient, just pull in and park. Our room was at the north wing, their new establishment and it was very nice. Not run down or smelly, king bed was wonderful. Had a partial view of the city and was overlooking the pizza place next door so it could get noisy but nothing crazy. A few blocks away from walking state st, as well as the beach just a block away. Overall great experience.

The rooms were spacoius and we appreciated the daily room cleaning. We would have liked to have had the option of having a microwave oven in our room and also the ability to stream movie apps to our TV. The customer was very good.

Harbor View Hotel is very convenient to the beach and to a bunch of restaurants. The extraordinary thing about the hotel is the staff. They go out of their way to be helpful. We left something in the room which they found and called us and then shipped it out immediately. We were extremely thankful and shall return to the hotel!!
