Harris House is convenient to everything and it's a very good value. A September stay means lots of easy parking, some of it covered. The heated pool is a real plus. Next time we would ask for a poolside room rather than streetside. Cars looking for boardwalk block parking come and go at the metered spots right outside the room and are very noisy fairly late into the night. We were wakened every morning at 5:45 by the trash truck picking up in back of the boardwalk stores across the street...that was pretty irritating. The staff is pleasant and accommodating, especially the cleaning staff, who do a great job. We arrived an hour before check in and the ladies at the desk were more than happy to let us park and check into the room since it had already been cleaned. This was our second stay here and we will definitely be back ...just in a quieter room.

The hotel is very clean, the staff was very friendly, and it’s literally right on the Boardwalk.

Thank you so much for mentioning our customer service and cleanliness, our two top priorities every season. Also thank you for mentioning our awesome location literally right beside the beach and boardwalk. This allows you to park your car in our lot, one spot guaranteed, and never have to move it again until your vacation is over, as everything is just steps away from our motel. We're glad you enjoyed your vacation and hope to see you again!

Harris House gave us beach tags to use for the day - a nice extra we weren't expecting.

Great place to stay

Pros: location and cleanliness
Cons: parking
Location: stores, restaurants
My family and I have stayed at Flanders and Watsons, however compared to Harris House they are overpriced. The facility was in an excellent location, only 1/2 block back from boardwalk. The staff was always concerned about the room and cleanliness. I would stay again and again. The only item to improve upon is parking. The spots are tight so one needs to be careful with the car doors.

Thank you so much for the amazing review! We appreciate you taking the time to write it and for all your warm words. You are right, we are always extremely concerned about the room and cleanliness- if you've looked over some of our other reviews you can see just how important that is to us. Parking wise, we do have 1 spot for all 74 of our rooms, which gives us one of the biggest parking lots in town -- you may find some of the spots near the boardwalk end have a little more room. We look forward to having you come back and stay with us and again, thank you so much for your review!
