A charming, modern stay that felt comfortable and welcoming from start to finish.
Pros:

The charm and modern feel stood out immediately. It felt clean, comfortable and welcoming, and we loved the atmosphere. It had a cozy feel while still feeling fresh and updated.

Cons:

Nothing major stood out to us. If anything, we just wish we had more time to enjoy the property and surrounding area.

Nice, comfy convenient to cruise ship embarkation!
Pros:

Everything was fine but whatever cleanser used leaves a heavy (potpourri), strong, overpowering, potentially toxic smell! If a window could have been opened, that would have been great! Not sure if that smell was there to mask a bad odor! Use vinegar to clean! It has a very clean, wonderful smell!!!

Cons:

Everything was fine! Clean room, comfy bed. Nice front desk gentleman!
The only thing I did not like was the strong, unpleasant smell in the room!nl

Convenience!
Pros:

Stayed on Thursday in spring. Super convenient to stay at if you have an early fishing trip. Very clean. No loud people. Parking was a little tight if you have a truck but that didn’t bother me much. 5/5 stars!

It was great how I didn’t struggle for parking at all. I appreciate the welcoming snacks and beverages at my hotel. Ever
Pros:

Security. I was worried about my jeep getting my accessories stolen but the receptionist notified me that there was security at night.

Bed was comfy, everything else-not great…
Pros:

Great location, though there was no “sea view” as was stated on the booking. The linens were clean & the bed was comfortable.

Cons:

The building is very old, looked to be 60’s-70’s era. Not in a quaint charming way, in a paint peeling & yellow caulking kind of way.
The only Sea view was of the Sea-food store next door & its parking lot.
The Sea Harbor Hotel was pretty pricy considering the facilities & amenities available. They have a small parking lot if you are traveling in a vehicle, but they do charge extra to use said lot.

Pros:

The location was right in the harbour, and if you are lucky will get a room that allows you view it. Several restaurants and coffee shops in a 2 block radius. Fresh fish

Cons:

There was no microwave in the room , would have been nice. The beds were a bit uncomfortable, soft, but not in a good way , if that makes sense
