My wife and I had a lovely stay at Harbor House Inn. The location was perfect for us, just a short walk to breweries and the vibrant downtown area. The rooms were cozy and had charming decor, but we encountered some hiccups with the fireplace and hot tub, which kept the experience from being flawless. Overall, we appreciated the breakfast and friendly service, making our celebration enjoyable, though some minor issues did leave us feeling a bit underwhelmed overall.
