This property is steps away from the boardwalk. The facilities were clean (actively being cleaned throughout the day by staff). The pool was awesome, parking was easy and the proximity to the beach and boardwalk was amazing. Having the beach passes included with the room was very convenient. We would definitely stay here again. WiFi was spotty in our room.

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!
