Location

The Inn at Harbor Shores is located in a lovely location with an awesome view of the harbor and lake. It is situated right by the marina and water front which provides a perfect atmosphere for guests to enjoy. The hotel is in close proximity to various activities such as shopping, restaurants and the beach - all within a 10 minute walk or drive. However, some guests found the location lacking in things to do and suggest getting creative. The views from the rooms and pool area are beautiful, although some guests found the view compromised with the gravel yard and photos to be deceiving. Nevertheless, the hotel staff provided great dining recommendations and the location is a short 7 minute drive to the city center and Silver Beach. Overall, this upscale hotel delivers a wonderful location for guests to enjoy the beautiful surroundings of the marina area with future potential.

Many describe the food as delicious and amazing and highlight the banana bread french toast and omelettes as must-tries. Several reviewers also note that the portions are large and an excellent value. Guests who dined at the restaurant downstairs generally had positive experiences with some even describing the food as exceptional. However, the slow service at breakfast and the requirement for a reservation led to some frustration for guests. Some reviewers were also disappointed that complimentary coffee and tea were not provided and that there was no breakfast available unless you went to the restaurant. While some found the breakfast to be good or excellent, others found it to be average at best. Lastly, a few guests noted that the restaurant's service was slow for both breakfast and dinner.

Dinner

The Inn at Harbor Shores offers several dining options, including a great restaurant and a nice little bar. Guests rave about the delicious food, including excellent value and outstanding dinners at the tavern. However, there were some complaints about the high cost and unclear menu options. While some guests experienced slow service and bad dishes such as bland stuffed shells and blah calamari, others thoroughly enjoyed their meals and described the restaurant as exceptional and wonderful. Dining outside on the water was lovely, but the wait for food was long. Some guests tried takeout for dinner, which was not great. Overall, The Inn at Harbor Shores provides a great fine dining restaurant on site, but some improvements could be made to enhance the dining experience.

Rooms

The Inn at Harbor Shores offers a mixed bag of room experiences, according to guest reviews. Some rooms are fantastic with balconies that boast amazing views of the river and lake. Others are smaller than expected or have poor sound insulation. Many guests rave about the spacious and clean rooms with comfortable beds and modern amenities like mini-fridges and Keurig machines. However, there are some negative comments about the lack of microwaves or movie channels, as well as complaints about the high room rates.

Pool

The Inn at Harbor Shores has excellent pool amenities, loved by both adults and kids with guests specifically mentioning how much their kids enjoyed the pools. The property itself is stunning, including the room and pool areas. The tiki bar by the pool is an added bonus. However, some guests mentioned that the pool was smaller than expected and didn't match the pictures. Additionally, the outdoor pool got crowded at times. Despite that, the pool and hot tub were great, clean and available to use for guests. Some guests criticized the indoor pool, saying it was too cold and very small. Another downside was that the pool seemed to be open to the public, which meant it got congested with people who weren't staying at the hotel. Furthermore, some guests found it annoying that there were no staff members available until 4 pm and it was frustrating to come out wet and have to go inside. Overall, the pool and hot tub remain a highlight of this hotel, coupled with comfortable rooms and a great location for the Ironman Race venue.

Travelers with children can opt for the double room or even a king size suite for larger families, although some guests found the double beds small and the pullout couch needs replacement. Overall, most guests have enjoyed their stay and plan on coming back - some with their grandchildren!
