The staff was friendly and accommodating. The two story room was extremely small abd cramped. The beds were hard and uncomfortable and we kept hitting our head on the wall trying to get in and out of bed !!! For the price it was horrible !!!!

This place is simple, clean, and reasonably priced for the location. Good bed, firm but not hard. I like the old-fashioned aesthetic. We checked in and out without face-to-face contact with staff, which was fine. We had all we needed. Downsides, minor: The shower dial was missing so it was a bit hard to adjust the temp (cold, very hot, small area of happy medium, no place to run in tiny shower stall!) Lights just outside windows are very bright. Blinds on both windows, curtain on one took care of most of that. Brought earplugs, didn't need them thanks to conscientious other guests (thanks folks!). We had a pleasant stay and will likely be back.

The room was cold and the small space heater didn’t work. The room smelled musty. The bed was very comfortable. It was well located near my daughter and the harbor.

Odors of mildew and mold outside going in and even seeping into our sleeping quarters. Great for location. Very clean but needs freshening up- carpet, paint, shower stall needs help before more serious repairs needed... panels coming undone from the walls.

As always, it was wonderful. The only drawbacks Are that there is only a portable heater in the room and if you don’t know, it’s there it can get a bit chilly. Also, there is no Housekeeping service, but that’s not really a problem. Extra towels, etc. are available if you need them. Overall, it’s a wonderful place to say, and quite cozy and comfy.

A little dated, but definitely clean, roomy, and comfortable. Accommodating staff as well. I would stay again.

A very charming and quaint propeetyasort of a classic New England Inn. Clean and well-maintained, but old—which was part of the charm.

This inn is so charming! Exactly as pictured. You can’t adjust the A/C. But there is a heater. If you get hot flashes, sleeping with the windows open this time of year suffices. Not sure if they have fans. Walking distance to the beach. Pillows and bed were surprisingly comfortable. I have back and neck issues and slept like a baby. Most other motels I’ve stayed at you have to let the water run for forever to heat. But not here! Also, amazing water pressure. Mini fridge with freezer. Microwave and mini coffee maker. Extra towels in the hallway armoire- super convenient. Close to the mall (and target/cvs/Walgreens).

This is a very well kept motel. It is apparent that the owners and staff take great care in thinking of their guests. My room was comfortable and very clean. The entire motel was clean and well cared for as were the small grounds. I will stay there again and recommend to friends. Very affordable.

I definitely would stay here again and recommend this quiet little place to my family and friends. It’s near everything! I will just comment on the lack of lighting on the “Harbour Inn” sign. I wish it was brighter so it’s easier to find. Other than that, I really liked the accommodations

This was a comfortable place to stay and was close to many attractions. It was a bit dated and could use a good deep clean. Overall it was a good value, and I would stay here again.

It was quiet, 10 min walk from the harbor and the beach. Sheets and towels smelled like fresh clean laundry. Responded promptly to my call. Easy check in and check out. Good value

This is not your traditional motel room. It was clean and adequate, with interesting old bits of furniture. but amenities were sparse. The dispenser for shampoo and shower gel barely delivered a drop. Internet connection rarely worked. A noisy business next door was not very pleasant. I would look further next time in town.

Very good location, free parking, comfy beds, good coffee for the coffee maker. Noise from the next unit and the road were a bit louder than expected. The blinds were missing slots and the lights from the outside were bright. If you are used to sleeping with lights on and can sleep through noises, this is a good place for you.

It was a nice room and clean. The staff were friendly and helpful. It was a little noisy from the traffic outside but that seemed to ease up as the hour got later. I would definitely stay here again.

Convenient location walking distance to the Harbor Cafe (great breakfast!) and close to Boardwalk and Capitola Village. Motel itself is older but clean and comfortable, with plenty of parking.

This place is a hidden gem. Off the beaten path and in a quieter residential neighborhood but close enough to walk to breakfast at the Harbor Cafe ( 1 block away) and to the harbor and beach (about 4 blocks away). The room was so quaint it was like being in a cottage and it had everything we needed including a fridge, coffee maker, and microwave. Bed was very comfortable. I appreciated that we didnt need to check in or out with anyone, all the details about where to pick up keys were provided via email before we got there. No "frills" here as there is no pool, jacuzzi, continental breakfast, etc. but I would 100% recommend staying here over a noisy chain hotel.

This was the second time I stayed at Harbor Inn. Again I found it very convenient and comfortable and quiet. Although there are covid restrictions, they have found a way that is very workable for no contact check in. I will plan to stay there again.
