this hotel is awful. totally misleading from how they advertise it, it is in no way luxurious or elegant and completely lacks any kind of quality. i have been in super 8 motels that have been more luxurious than this place. in addition, the town is a dump and is not worth going to. the sand sculptures are amazing but there is no need to spend a night in harrison.

Location :
In front of the lake. Be careful to choose a room with lake view. The back of the building is not really nice (small street and car park)

Rooms :
As the hotel is only 2 or 3 years old, furnishing is brand new, every thing clean and up to date. Only problem was the front to ceiling window, which lock was broken (we suspect the room was "visited" in the past). Really annying when you ask in the booking to be on a high floor.

Value for money :
Really the main issue according to us. 180 CAD for the room we had (ground floor, on the car park) is really a scandal : no view, no light, ...

Services :
Pool is small, with no view. Not very nice.
It must be said that personal on duty was helpful, as they did grant us access to the office computer for us to check our e-mails.

Overall : really pricey. We also had a dinner in the nearby "spa" hotel. Food was disgusting (so-called italian buffet). We found during our stay no other better alternative, and were finally very disappointed with our stay.

We were disappointed with this hotel. We expected more based on the reviews from other Tripadvisor members. Although apparently quite new - everything here is showing wear badly. The carpet in our room was in need of cleaning - lots of big spills and marks that should be removed as part of regular maintenance. The walls and cupboards are also marked and dirty - demonstrating a disregard for anything more than surface cleaning. Although there was a small refrigerator, sink and microwave - without a stove top of any kind - this really cannot be considered to be a full kitchenette. Popular with families, because of the generous room size and advertised kitchen facilities - be prepared for lots of noise from children. Nothing much can be done about this.... a room on the uppermost floor might do the trick. While I wouldn't stay here again - I really didn't see much else there other than the resort - might be worth a try.

This is a new property, so the rooms are nicely furnished, and are very clean.

The standard mountain view room I booked had a nice king bed, microwave, fridge and coffee maker, desk, dvd, etc...all very nice. We happened to get a corner room which had a very large private balcony, which as an added bonus, allowed for an unexpected lake view.

We weren't there for the hot springs, just for a break. If I return to Harrison, I might consider the "Resort" for a night to check out the pools. Otherwise, the Beach Hotel is a great value.

(Also, the Black Forest Restaurant next door was a great choice for dinner)
