“B&B Feeling with 5 Star Quality”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 12, 2012

My wife and I stayed at the Harbour House for the weekend for our 35th wedding Anniversary this past weekend. We stayed in a 1 bedroom suite that was fantastic. It had everything we required and more, 3 Flat screen TVs, a well-appointed living room, a very oversized Jacuzzi tub and a Tassimo Coffee Machine. But most importantly I want to comment on how fantastic the staffs were. Right from the moment we checked in until we returned home we were made to feel welcome. Anything we asked for was accommodated quickly and with a smile. Harbour house has the feel of a BB but with the professionalism of a 5 star hotel.
Our experience started at check-in with the staff escorting us to our room versus just saying “here is the key”. All the staff was wonderful right from the person who made the reservation, to the housekeeping staff and the front desk reception. We want to comment about the staff at reception. The main person we connected with so sweet and helpful she actually took us back because we have not seen that level of service in years. When we asked if we could get a coffee for the room she jumped up and brought it to us in in china cups and delivered it with a huge smile. She even held the door for me as my hands were full with the tray. When we returned home she called me to let me know they found my Black Berry charging cable and she was going to UPS it back to me the next day.
The attention to the personal attention especially to the small detail and the friendly service at the Harbour House is their differentiator. My wife and I stay in Niagara on The Lake every year and generally a few times. We have always stayed at the Queens Landing and the Wales although they are nice facilities they were just that nice facilities. There are many examples of the small detail that their staff went out of their way to look after like the acknowledgment of our 35th anniversary with cookies and wine, the offer to have us shuttled to the various restaurants etc. and the constant request “can I help you”.
We will certainly be returning to their location!

“A great place to stay in NOTL”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 11, 2012

We spent a night here this past weekend and had a wonderful stay. The hotel is quite lovely, including the lobby, conservatory(where they serve breakfast), and the rooms. Everything was very clean. The bed was very comfy with high quality linens. The heated bathroom tile was a real treat! The breakfast was very nice. Everything was delicious. It's a short walk to the pretty, scenic waterfront park. The only problem we had was that our room was quite warm despite turning the heat down to low, but then we are accustomed to sleeping in a pretty cool room. The staff was very accommodating, so I'm sure they would have done whatever they could to fix it had we brought it to their attention. Overall, this was a great stay in a very quiet, cozy inn!

“Great people, service and accommodations”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 8, 2012

My wife and I spent one night at the hotel a week ago and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The room was very nice and comfortable, the staff were very nice, the included breakfast suited us fine, and the front desk staff were very helpful with directions, suggestions, reservations, etc. Just a very good experience and would definitely recommend to others. We will stay there again next time in the area.

Room Tip: Ours was 3rd floor harbour view, but seemed very quiet throughout the hotel, so not sure there is mu...

“Very nice”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 1, 2012

Stay was business related and overall very happy with the service, facility and location. The rooms are very comfortable, clean and well equipped. The meals were fine, although we had dinner offsite while there.

“Great Time”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 26, 2012

My wife and I had the pleasure of a three day visit to Niagara on the Lake. Although we've visited many times before, we never stayed at the Harbour House Hotel until this past trip.
We were both impressed with the overall cleanliness of the hotel, the decor and of course the great buffet breakfasts.
Our room was comfortable and clean. The Staff was great. We enjoyed our stay and look forward to going back.
Harbour House Hotel is expensive, but well worth the cost for the breakfast buffet alone.
