This was our second consecutive year at Harris House and we had an amazing time. The room was clean, the upgrades to vanity, mirror and beds were great. We love being so close to the boardwalk/beach. Check in/out was very easy. We are looking forward to our next trip.

Staff was friendly. Very close proximity to boardwalk and restaurants. Ample parking. Biggest drawback was no elevator which made it difficult to get luggage up the steps to room, but someone from the staff did help. Room was kind of old and a little outdated but still maintained and clean. I guess I'm spoiled but sure would have been nice to have a coffee pot in the room. We would stay there again but it would have to be on the first floor due to medical reasons.
