I choose this location based on the rave reviews, although I would say our stay did not meet my expectations.Room temperature was either too hot or too cold. Had issues with the TV, as the volume was set at one control and was very loud. Staff tried to fix it, but took time to try and get it fixed, and ended up not being able to adjust with the remote. I upgrade the room to a Superior room, but would say the layout was a bit awkward; TV was far from the bed and sitting area was not cozy, as it was 2 arm chairs - a love seat and ottoman may have been more comfortable. Bed was not very comfortable, and pillows were quite firm, a softer option would have been great. Washroom shower was very low pressure, and again, fan in washroom was super hot. In room coffee was a nespresso machine & capsules, however water bottles may have been a nice added touch. Parking was great and convenient. Breakfast was good, and over stay was good. Not sure the value was there for the price we paid, and would most likely try another hotel/inn, if we returned to NOTL.

I always love Harbour House since my first visit 20 years ago. The room has great layout, clean and spacious, environment is pleasant and quiet ambience, Nice to walk around the lake as well as convenient to go on the main street to shop and eat. Staff are all friendly and courteous. Their new virtual assistant tool is super helpful!

Convenient for one night stay

Overall had a pleasant experience. We stayed for one night in the premium king room. The fireplace was cozy as well as the bed. The bathroom was a bit run-down with outdated tiling, leaky faucet, and hissing toilet. One of the bathrobes had makeup residue and I’m not even sure if it was cleaned. The included breakfast was convenient, but a simple menu with croissants, bagels, pastries, blueberry bread pudding, overcooked egg casserole, deli meat, cheese, yogurt, and basic cut up fruit. Reception staff and breakfast server were all very friendly and courteous. It worked for the one night stay, but may choose a more modern hotel next time.

Absolutely loved the over-all feel of the property. Checkin and checkout was flawless. Staff were welcoming, room was quite comfortable, the fireplace was an excellent touch. Had trouble with the wifi (not likely the hotel’s fault, probably mine), the TV remote did not want to turn the volume down, and was unable to use the alarm clock to charge my devices by plug or USB cable. Easily able to overlook these things, however, as the whole room was incredibly comfortable. Continental breakfast was probably the nicest continental breakfast we have had in a long time.

Communicated to the desk staff concerns with the functionality of items in the room. No ability to use the fireplace and an obvious issue with the shower unit (leaking badly and general disrepair of the control knobs). Unfortunately the fact that we had booked through a third party made for zero accommodation for our inconveniences. Very nice breakfast situation and polite, courteous staff. All things considered we will not be choosing to stay here in future.

Great Winter Stay

Excellent stay at Harbour House! Very cozy stay during the winter storm, so nice to relax by the fire place. Many nice touches like a delicious breakfast, wine/cheese tasting and complimentary shuttle to dinner. Walking distance to downtown, we look forward to staying here again.
