The property is well maintained & the staff is very attentive, flexible & friendly. The room was ample & nicely, yet modestly appointed. I had envisioned a more picturesque location but all in all in what’s a good value comparatively to the other sites

The hotel was within walking distance of restaurants, shopping, and the beach. The room was spacious and newly renovated. There is a nice pool surrounded by lovely trees and flowering bushes.

Lovely property with a garden courtyard and pool area. Staff was super friendly and helped me secure a large enough parking space for my extended vehicle. Nice kitchen in my room, which I didn't use as I was traveling for work but would have been used & appreciated otherwise. Easy walking distance to State St and the Funk Zone. Top rated all around.

Disappointing Stay. We were really looking forward to our stay at Inn By The Harbor, but unfortunately, the experience did not meet our expectations. Upon entering the room, we were overwhelmed by a strong and unpleasant bleach smell that made it difficult to relax or sleep comfortably. Several areas of the room were noticeably dusty, and the TV remote was sticky. To make matters worse, the TV itself didn’t function properly. Throughout the night, there was a recurring motor or engine-like noise that came and went every 20 minutes, adding to the discomfort. The room looked much better in the online photos than it did in person, which was disappointing. After a restless night, we made the decision to check out early. While the location is convenient and the exterior of the property is charming, the room conditions and overall experience left a lot to be desired.

We booked this hotel through Expedia based on the photos and reviews. The staff was very kind and accommodating, and they have nice happy hour and small continents breakfast. However our room was a huge disappointment. It was outdated, with old carpet and outdated furniture, kind a like an old motel. Maybe it was just the room we chose. We stayed one night and changed to another hotel for the remainder of our stay.

I think calling yourself Inn by the Harborside when the Harbor is a walking mile away is stretching it. Beautiful grounds and the manager was great. Wi-fi was non-functional. The concrete stairs leading up the the rooms rocked us every single time somebody took the stairs. Clean and complete room with small kitchen and cafe table. Decent breakfast and they offer wine late in the afternoon.
