“A lovely spot!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 25, 2012 via mobile

A beautiful hotel in all aspects. Service is friendly and outstanding. Little extras like cookies with a welcome note, personalized stationery and a rubber ducky on the bathtub add to the charm. Afternoon wine and cheese is a lovely add on. Breakfast in the conservatory is a wonderful start to the day. Rooms are clean and spacious with comfortable feather beds. Truly one of the nicest hotels we have stayed at.

Stayed November 2012, traveled as a couple

“Our annual Anniversary destination spot”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 13, 2012

My husband and I are headed here for the 2nd year in a row for our Anniversary. We've stayed over the years in a number of nicer establishments in Niagara-on-the-Lake but this is by far our fave! The customer service is unparalled! The Staff referred to us by name several times throughout our stay even though the hotel seemed to be packed - they remembered who we were which made it feel like home. The relaxed and country-chic charm of the inviting foyer and fireplace also make this hotel feel like home from the minute you step through the door. We like the Superior room. It's incredibly spacious. The bed and linens were luxurious - best night's sleep in months. The bathroom was huge, bright and clean. Prices are pretty good considering the top notch quality you receive. Plus you get breakfast..and don't even get me started on how delicious their breakfast is!!! We plan to make this our annual anniversary spot. We've only been married 5 years so they're going to be seeing us for a LONG time :)

“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...
