The desk clerk was very nice and most helpful. They were pet friendly and offered whatever we needed. It was freshly painted but when we got into the room, that was another story. There was no heat, just a portable heater. The musty smell was a turn off and the there was no ocean view since it was two back... More

The place is 100% false adverstisement! no HARBOR VIEW!!! only view of freeway! Arrived very disappointed by view, smell, and by the fact that two different prices were quoted! Tried to cancel our reservation and the Office Manager was rude and insensitive to our unsatisfaction. We left unhappy. Had to search for other last minute accommodations. The next day we... More

A good hotel in my opinion. In a town where spending anything less than $200 a night seems to be an impossibility, it's a breath of fresh air to have a place like the Harbor View Inn. Very friendly front office folks, clean rooms, and coupons for local restaurants made me and my lady happy campers. Pros: - cafe next... More

We only stayed at this hotel/motel for one night on Aug 18, 2011 as we were making our way down from San Francisco to Los Angeles during our 2 weeks West Coast trip. GOOD: Conveniently located off Hwy 1, we booked it ahead of time for its cheaper price at $110 +tax/night compared to anything else nearby. The continental breakfast... More

At $400+ per night we couldn't afford a room at The Ritz, so we had to settle for the Harbor View Inn. And yes, you get what you pay for. This is a lower end motel, nothing fancy and nothing to write home about. Check in was fine, the king room was clean, but the mattress was about the worst... More

We stayed in this hotel on two different occasions- one over the winter holidays and we had a wonderful time. The staff is tremendously helpful, the view is just perfect and the renovations are truly changing this little place. I would go back again any day.
