Detailed Reviews
My daughter and I stayed overnight in a double Queen bed room overlooking the harbor. What a view. Booking was easy and communication excellent. Appreciated the guidebook they emailed over to review Inn policies, restaurants and landmarks. Room was clean and beds were very comfortable. Bathroom was immaculate. Front desk staff was welcoming and informative. Inn was very quiet in the evening and traffic noise was minimal. We were not expecting much for breakfast but the cereal,muffins,fruit and hot coffee were most welcomed. Lovely patio to eat on that looks out to the water. Inn also has beach passes for the day however weather was not agreeable for a beach day. Lots of areas to walk and sit Oceanside watching the boats go by. What a gem. Looking forward to a return visit to explore more of the area and take advantage of the hiking trails, seafood and quaint shops.

Our week at the Inn at Scituate Harbor was the best vacation we've had in many years. The staff is outstanding--friendly, kind, knowledgeable, and professional. We loved our room with a great view of the harbor and excellent housekeeping service, the deck where we enjoyed breakfast and relaxing, the whole ambience, and how close it is to the restaurants and shops. It was splendid all around, and we can hardly wait to go back!

First time stay. Location is wonderful, close to the compact downtown of scituate which is brimming with some great dining choices. We had 3rd floor room , but that being my preference I was quite happy that's where we ended up. The bonus is some stairway cardio with luggage so if have issues w stairs etc...Would recommend lower floors. Its an older building so stairs are narrow for lugging suitcases etc. The room was corner room, clean, well kept and with standard amenities. Fridge, Ice bucket, tv, ac in room. Bed was firm but mattress preference is so subjective so take that all with a grain of salt. Basic continental breakfast but coffee alway avail. Staff friendly and helpful always. Pool downstairs and a nice sitting area outside to watch to harbor .

Please do yourself a favor and do not book a stay at this Inn! We booked 5 rooms over 12 months prior to my Son wedding and it was nothing but stress and aggravation every step of the way. The management is impossible to work with, they are rude, change policy as they choose and over charge,we paid $369 per night off season. We attempted on 9/6 to simply change the name of the person who was going to occupy one of our booked rooms (our stay dates were 10/27-10/29) so that our guest didn’t have issues at check in. This is the response I received from Lynda, Manager, “I am honestly done with your wedding for now. Please do not call, show up or email with more changes, to check on reservations or any questions regarding any reservations until 10/23, at which time you can email any updates to me….” What they failed to understand is that with weddings you are not sure of who will be coming and staying until really the last two months and so we needed to be able to work with reasonable people committed to good customer service! In our case we were stuck b/c between our family and my daughter in laws family we had about 15 rooms booked and they are the only Inn/Hotel in Scituate- No competition! If you have a large function or wedding and need multiple accommodations please book outside of Scituate and absolutely not at this Inn! They do not deserve your business! Awful people!!!!

Gina, you made several (I believe the initial group booking was 7 rooms, 1/3 of our Inn) reservations to form a block, which you were told we do not do, as we are too small, and in our experience (as you so nicely pointed out), one never knows who is coming to the wedding. It is best to let grown adults make their own reservations instead of trying to control all the guests at your son’s wedding. Booking blocks have always resulted in cancellations and changes at the last minute where we are unable to sell the room. You and the rest of your party did not care, as several other people in your party booked more groups of reservations and then you all put random names on the reservations. These rooms were booked May 2022 for an October 2023 wedding (which by the way is high season for The Inn). Your room rates ranged in price from (most of the rooms) $270 per night to $325 per night. You came in and called several times between May of 2022 and September 2023 to change names on the reservations, change dates, cancel dates etc. You were even trying to change names on reservations you didn’t even make! After one interaction in May of 2023, I sent an email requesting that you send all changes in writing. You didn’t listen and came in again on a day when there was a whole hotel check out, the desk clerk was alone and you insisted she write down all the changes, she was unable to do her job for the guests that needed to check in that day. At this point many of your reservations had had numerous name changes, date changes, splitting reservations etc. so I sent another email requesting that you not make any more changes until October 23, the Monday before the wedding. Again, as you yourself stated, you had no idea who was coming and changes kept having to be made. Our staff had spent hours and hours with the reservations for this wedding and we were worried that someone was going to show up thinking they had a reservation and after ALL your changes they wouldn’t have one. And to be clear, when booking groups, it is standard practice for hotels to request that the names be given a few days before the event so that the staff does not spend hours dealing with the booking over the course of the year. Thankfully the bride’s side understood the chaos you were causing and called to apologize for your behavior. They couldn’t believe what you were doing and asked to work with me directly. Which I did and I believe everyone had a room and all was fine for your wedding weekend. We even managed to get several people in early.

Very expensive “inn” with very rude staff. Seriously, everyone we encountered was unfriendly; the total opposite of every other staff we met at all the other hotels we booked on our trip. After reading the reviews, we thought this “inn” was going to be great and we were SO disappointed. Front desk staff were all miserable. When we checked in, I enquired as to the total for our stay and the woman said “you’ll find out when you check out”. Um, ok…The floors creaked so badly that you would have thought there were elephants in the room above us. Slamming doors and paper thin walls disrupted our sleep. The continental breakfast that was included had little pre packed cereals; the milk for the cereal was off and there wasn’t any staff to be found to ask if they had any more fresh milk. In written material about the “inn” it stated that there were games and books in the lobby. After searching, we discovered a few children’s games in terrible disrepair and nothing else. We would never stay again and we would strongly suggest that anyone considering the “inn’ to look elsewhere! Total disappointment.

I am sorry you did not enjoy your stay. I am glad we were able to, at the last minute, change the dates of your stay at your request. We are small and sometimes we are not able to accommodate last-minute changes. I am surprised at your characterization of the entire desk staff, having interacted with at least 8 different people, as we are usually complimented on how friendly and helpful our staff is. As for your comment about the total for your stay, I find that odd, since you pay for the balance at check-in and sign a receipt. Our puzzles and games are clearly marked on the bookcase in the lobby, along with cabinets for Maps, Menus and Borrow a Book. We have backgammon, cribbage, decks of cards and many games that are for all ages, I am sorry you did not find what you were looking for. Our Continental Breakfast includes muffins, fresh fruit, yogurt, granola, oatmeal, cereal, juices, coffee, tea, and hot chocolate. Yes, our cereal is prepackaged (a Covid holdover that our guests seem to appreciate) but to imply that all we had was cereal is disingenuous. Our milk comes in fresh from the store almost every day. We have never had any complaints about the milk (perhaps it was a different milk than you are used to, you said you were from Canada, but your review says Florida, we usually get 2% or whole milk, ). However, our staff would have been more than happy to change the milk if you had asked. Sometimes our desk clerk is the only person on, so when a guest requests towels or help with some other issue, our desk clerk leaves the desk to go help, usually less than a few minutes. There is a sign posted at the desk, if no one is there, to dial zero on the lobby phone. Again, I am sorry you did not see the sign. Since you did not raise any of these issues during your stay, I was not able to address them, to help make your stay more enjoyable. I would suggest in the future, if you are not happy, you speak with the manager, we want all our guests to be happy and have a great stay at our Inn and in Scituate.

Booked two nights in the Suite for myself, my mother, my brother and my 15 year old daughter. After checking in I asked if we could have a spare set of sheets so my daughter could sleep on one of the two couches, but was told this was against fire code. They offered us a cot which worked well. (But neglected to mention that I would be charged $20 a night, a week after we checked out for the use of said cot).
A few days after the cot charge posted to my credit card, I was charged another fee of $38 and change.. supposedly because the room was only for double occupancy and we had a third adult. When I made the initial reservaction I was asked how many guests, told them about our family and was quoted a price. Which they clearly didn't honor.
With Covid, we accepted the fact that the in-house restaurant was closed, the in-door pool was closed, the continential breakfast lessened, that there was no housekeeping service provded... but REALLY... additional charged snuck onto my credit card after I checked out?
If you want a convenient spot in Scituate it is close to everything, but watch your credit card for after the fact charges. Better yet, pay in cash so they can't fleece you later.
[I tried to resolve this through emails, but no luck.]

If not for the location, I would not stay here again or recommend it. The front desk staff were rude and indifferent. When coming and going, no one said hello or looked up. On the last day, we let the front desk staff know that we had a fair number of ants in our room. No apology but did say thank you. On check out no one asked us how are stay was. No customer service. The rooms were clean but tired.

I am so sorry but we do not have a record of a Penny G staying here. I am glad you love our location and that you found our rooms clean, we have an excellent housekeeping staff and priceless views of the harbor. We are very proud of our front desk staff as well and get great feedback on how nice they are. We do have a record of a very nice guest stating that they had some ants back in April, it was an extremely rainy spring and most homes in the area experienced ants inside, we happily gave her a credit and ran right upstairs to see what we could do. We also immediately called our pest control provider and to my knowledge have not had a complaint since. In the future, I would not wait until the last day of your stay to say anything about an issue with your room, most places will happily do whatever they can to make your stay enjoyable but they need to know what the issue is.

We walked in and were greeted by a lovely front desk agent who offered information on the Inn and area. Our room was on the 3rd floor overlooking the harbor. It was very spacious with lovely furnishings and very clean. The grounds of the Inn are beautiful as well as the rooms and common areas. The location is walkable to many stores and restaurants. We had a wonderful stay and would highly recommend the property! Thank you for having such a beautiful place in a great seaside town.

We stayed here one night, the room was perfect, very clean and spacious. We had a lovely view of the Harbor and Light House. We were on the 3rd Floor, there is no elevator. We where traveling very lite so it wasn't a problem. The receptionist on Sunday evening was very pleasant and helpful. Monday am receptionist, not the case. Due to covid, we chose to leave the key on the desk in our room, and stop buy the receptionist to tell her we were checking out. She was on the phone, sounded like a personal conversation., never got off the phone or looked up. We just left, so they get 4 stars instead of 5. But I would stay again!

I really enjoyed staying at the Inn at Scituate Harbor. It was a quant inn with an amazing water view. We were able to see the Scituate Light House from our room which was awesome since we got married there earlier that day. I had told them it was my wedding night when I booked it and thought maybe they would do something nice. But they didn't even acknowledge that when we walked in still dressed up and there wasn't a note in the room or anything. Usually I wouldn't have expected anything since I didn't specifically ask, but a card or note on the bed would have been nice.

Hi! We do not currently have a restaurant on site, but there are 8 within walking distance as well as several take out places. We do serve a continental breakfast every morning.
Sorry, I was unaware there was a question waiting. Our handicap friendly room was a regular room that was retro fitted with a step in shower, the view and room itself are the same as all of our other rooms!!
Sorry, I just came across this question. We do allow dogs under 25 pounds. There is an extra charge and because we have a limited number of rooms that we allow dogs, you must call to make your reservation to ensure that we have a room available.
Our pool is working great, not sure about the moisture....our walls and ceiling are dry.
The handicap friendly room does have two double beds.
