Guest Reviews

Recently stayed at the Inn for a family event. The Inn was so cute! Loved how they decorated the main areas. My room was very spacious and cozy. It was winter time so having the fireplace lit at night was an extra bonus. The staff was amazing and accommodating!! I will definitely plan another stay there in the future!!

We had a great stay at this property. After being greeted with a most beautiful smile by the manager, we were offered a great wine and cheese "happy hour" in the cosy downstairs foyer. Room was ample and spotless. Breakfast was very good, albeit a bit cramped (a few guests did not have a table to sit). Oh, and the location and the view of the harbor are fantastic

I give The Inn at Harbor Hill a 5 out of 5 rating. The place is wonderful! The views are magnificent, the rooms and beds are very clean and comfortable, and the staff is friendly and helpful. The morning breakfast, afternoon wine & cheese, and the evening cookies were delicious. Walkabilty is great—there are lots restaurants nearby. I highly recommend staying here.

My wife, three year old daughter, and I spent a week here while staying in the area to visit family. The Inn at Harbor Hill Marina is an immaculate establishment right on the marina with a nice view of the Niantic River, beautiful landscaping, and is a short walk to Niantic's Main Street that has several nice shops, restaurants, and the Hole in the Wall Beach and boardwalk. There's a lot to do nearby which helps make it a great place in a great location! I will say that I felt a bit out of place here being the only guests with a young child. During our long stay we saw several groups of guests come and go, primarily older couples, and it wasn't until a couple days in that I realized that we had the only room with a second bed which would explain the limited availability for a family. Having the only kid there, we tried to keep our distance to avoid interrupting the other guests enjoying their stay, though we were out and about most of the day. There are a few positives and negatives about our experience, though I feel like the positives outweigh the negatives since some of them may be exclusive to our situation. Positives: The homemade breakfast was excellent, and though the menu is fairly limited, it has enough options to give it some variety even for a week-long stay. We had nice fall weather during our September stay, and it was wonderful sipping coffee and eating breakfast outside overlooking the marina while giving our daughter a place to run around. Additionally, getting service to clean the linens was easily done by calling or speaking to whoever was in the main office, so no need to worry about anyone coming to your room at a random time of day without first requesting it. The sound proofing of the room was quite good, for instance, the sound from the nearby Amtrak was faint, and I never heard anything from the adjacent rooms. Granted, we were the ones with a young child, so I don't know how our experience relates to the other guest rooms, but no one complained to my knowledge. Negatives: Specific to our room, the second bed made the room very cramped. For two adults and a toddler for a week long stay, we didn't pack lightly, so this shouldn't be an issue for those who stay in any other room. Additionally, the window AC was quite loud even on the lowest setting (fortunately it never woke our daughter at night), and the bed my wife and I slept on was quite uncomfortable. The second, smaller bed that our daughter slept on was much more comfortable. The lack of a refrigerator in the room was very inconvenient, especially when you have a kid, so we didn't have immediate access to cool drinks or a place to store perishable items at night aside from a public mini-fridge on the first floor which was a no-go for us. One item of concern was when checking in, I was asked my daughter's age and was informed of, if I recall, a $25/night fee for kids over three years old. While this didn't affect us since our daughter was only three, I double checked my reservation, went through the motions of setting up a new similar reservation online, and even did some web searching and could not find any mention of a fee for children over three. If I'm misremembering this, I apologize, but keep it in mind and consider verifying if you're looking to stay here with a child, because what came off like a hidden child-tax did not give me a good first impression. Unfortunately, my wife and I didn't get to enjoy much the evening wine amenity since we were out all day seeing the sites and visiting family while using the Inn only for breakfast and sleeping at night, but we did get to indulge on the homemade cookies when we got back as a small treat. There was no mention of a complimentary boat ride, though I didn't inquire further on it since I didn't expect to be around whenever they did them, if at all. Overall, we enjoyed our stay here and would certainly do it again, though I would probably try to seek a place a bit more "family friendly"/kid appropriate to avoid potentially interrupting other guest's quiet getaway.
