Rooms are simple and on the smaller side, and while many find them comfortable, some mention worn or soft beds and occasional outside noise, especially in street-facing areas.

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.

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.

The Harris House is one of the nicest boardwalk hotels that I have stayed in. From the front desk to the cleaning staff, everyone was friendly and polite. When we walked in, it smelled clean and was very clean and bright. We got there early, but they give you a parking pass and your beach badges so you don't have to wait to go on the beach. I know people in the past have complained about the road noise on the outer rooms, but to be honest, it didnt bother us. This hotel is a stones throw from the boardwalk and we had a blast! I plan on going back again this season, and it can't come fast enough!

Pristine location, 20ft from the boardwalk / beach. Pool was excellent; well kept and heated. Rooms were a bit small, but you don't spend much time there anyway, right? Overall recommend and probably will revisit 👍

Location is very convenient...it is steps from the boardwalk and beach. There are some food options on the board walk close by. Room was clean and well stocked. Pool was clean and my kids really enjoyed swimming every day after the beach! The only negative i would say is that it didnt seem like they came to restock or empty the trash in the room but one time throughout our 5 day stay. Parking was tight the day we arrived which could have been because of the 4th of July holiday...parking spots are a bit small (we do have a big SUV). However we were always able to find a spot. We arrived an hour early to check in and our room was ready. We stayed a while after check out to get some breakfast and we were able to remain parked in the hotel lot for that time which was very accomodating. Overall we had a great experience at Harris House by the Beach! Would definitely stay again and recommend to others.

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 room was clean, smelled fresh, enjoyed the distance to the boards and beach. Happy to have received the beach tags but wish you could receive them the day you check in so you aren’t paying. I would say getting one of what appeared to be the last rooms I would prefer a room facing the pool. We stayed in room facing ocean and it was loud day and night. The walls are a bit thin as we heard our neighbors children crying all night. My moms ears will be the death of me cause my child and husband slept right thru it. Overall great experience will hand pick the room next time.
