overall pleasant. we have stayed here before. Will stay again because of its location on the harbour
Pros:

this small hotel is user-friendly, nicely equipped and the location on the harbour is picturesque. the breakfast area and client lounge is quiet and we were able to usedit well for working. Lots of coffee available in the lobby - good! the room was comfortable, the shower alittle tricky to figure out and couldn't be adjusted without actually getting wet. the TV system was not user-friendly.

Cons:

TV system was confusing. Shower would only work on the hand-held appliance and could not be shifted to the overhead. could n't be adjusted without actually getting into the shower and getting wet.

Inn at the Harbour stay
Pros:

We recently stayed 2 nights at the Inn on the Harbour. Overall it was a very nice experience. The hotel is older but it was clean, friendly staff and free coffee, water and cookies for guests. We had a lovely room on the top floor, king size bed and view of the ocean. The bathroom is a bit small but fine for 2 people. Our bed was amazingly soft and comfy with awesome pillows and comforter. The hotel offers a continental breakfast but everything is behind a counter so you can't "help yourself". You have to wait to order from a staff person. I have stayed at many hotels and the continental breakfast is always open to guests. I think the Inn should rethink this as it backs up when it gets busy. Overall I would still rate their continental breakfast as good. They also have a great sitting area with a view. I would recommend this hotel and I would stay there again.

Good but value not there.
Pros:

Staff were friendly and location is great. Very near a Tim Hortons and other food places. Nice view of Harbour.
Nice extras in room like binoculars and a rag for makeup etc.
Can’t go higher in the ratings as the value is just there for what you get compared to others. Rooms are def. dated and a bit cramped. It was ok clean but in need of a deep clean. Beds were comfortable
Breakfast was continental and manned by one person which caused a bit of a backlog. Seems spread out with self serve might be easier and more efficient. There was a boil water advisory on while there and needed to get drinking and toothbrushing water from the cooler at front.
Over all ok but the value for price point was not there.

Pros:

The room was good. The amenities were good. The check in was awesome. The guy checking people in was amazingly efficient. We got off the ferry late and tired
There were loads of people checking in and we expected a long wait, but the man at the counter was awesomely efficient so there was virtually no wait. I was not fond of the way they do breakfast. The food was good, but you have to ask for each item.

a night after our ferry voyage
Pros:

after our ferry from port hardy we had booked this hotel to stay at once we got off and glad we did knowing the front desk was open 24/7. we arrive around 2:30am with other passengers and then went off to our room which had comfy beds, great pillows (no lumps) and what was needed in a clean bathroom. only gripe was the continental breakfast which most of it wasn't self serve and a person behind a desk prepared what you wanted...that was odd, but maybe necessary due to most people being slobs.

Pros:

Was friendly, accommodating for early clevk in and reasonably clean.
Upon closer inspection, the rug and under the rug were filty and had a lot of crumbs.
I tried taking a nap after only 2 hrs of sleep the night before, sounded like a heard of elwphants above me. They didnt offer to move me and didnt have any ear plugs.
All night i vould hear doors opening and closing loudly and voicea. Very thin walls/doors.
