The Inn at Harbor Shores has truly become my second home over the years, providing an inviting atmosphere with spectacular harbor views. The cleanliness and comfort of the rooms make every stay relaxing, while the attentive and caring staff makes me feel like part of the family. It's wonderful to enjoy meals, especially breakfast and brunch at Plank's Tavern, but sometimes I wish for even more dining options in the hotel itself. Overall, the Inn combines breathtaking views with excellent service at a reasonable price, making it hard to leave.

We had a fantastic experience at the hotel, enjoying stunning views of the harbor and a genuine feeling of being welcomed by the staff, who treated us like family. The accommodations and services exceeded our expectations, though the proximity to the train track could make for some noise at times.

I had a pleasant stay despite some challenges. The hotel offers a cozy atmosphere with a comfortable room and a lovely view of the harbor, which made it quite enjoyable. However, the noise from neighboring rooms was a downside, and the bathroom fan was too loud for comfort. Overall, it was nice but could use a few improvements.
