We enjoyed our stay at the Harris House. It's in a great location and is very clean. I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the hotel for the rate. My only complaint was that the beds seemed worn in and were not comfortable resulting in restless sleep, however the beds may be okay for someone else. We enjoyed the beach, boardwalk and all the amenities!

The room was comfortable and mostly clean with the exception of the smell of stale beer near the dresser/ mini fridge area. The smell was pretty terrible.

Our stay at the Harris house was very nice. I find myself picky with smells and cleanliness. I had zero complaints. Excellent position right off the boardwalk. Staff was genuine and friendly. Showers were perfectly clean. Beds were very clean. Simple rooms which is all you need. Very impressed.

The hotel was very close to the boardwalk without being too noisy. Room was a bit small but clean and comfortable and included beach tags. Would definitely stay here again.
