I really dislike leaving a negative review as there are several nice things about the hotel…read more However, everything I am writing below, I told directly to the hotel. Booking this hotel was a nightmare. I called to get a rate and ask questions. I called 4x and no one picked up. Out of desperation, I finally sent an email. I got a call the next day with a rate. However, when I tried to book that rate online, it was different. So, now I am trying to call the hotel again. Again, called 3x and no one picks up so I leave a message. I get a returned call and am told the online booking "includes a resort fee, but we can put that back on your credit card or I can take your card over the phone with the lower rate." I opted to pay over the phone (for the record, it's one of those hotels that charges you for using a credit card.). I was told to call the day before our arrival and advise when I'd like to check in because they would try to accommodate. This is a nice gesture and I appreciate it, but it's not nice when you call and guess what? No one picks up! We called the morning of our arrival and they did accommodate an early check in which was nice. You should know that you check in in 1 building and walk to another where you are actually staying. There is no security. Anyone can walk into the hotel (no lobby). You are literally walking into a hall with an elevator and there are no safeguards like needing a room key to make the elevator work. (They use old fashioned keys.) Room was cheerful, clean and looked like the photos. Our bathroom had a window that the view was a hallway. You had to put a screen down or people walking bay could see into your bathroom/shower. Odd. I would also say the walls are very thin. You can hear everyone and anyone walking past your door, etc. We went to OC for First Night and spend NYE having a wonderful time there, but when got back at midnight, there was no hot water. None. We were all freezing and none of us could take a shower. Sadly, I called the "front desk" and surprise! No one picked up. I called 3x. When I checked out, they said "The envelope with the keys had an emergency phone number on it. You should have called that. This makes no sense. The info on the phone in the room gives you a front desk number. I explained my frustration. The desk person said he'd try to get some compensation. 2 days later I got an email that $30 was taken off the room. I called to confirm this was for the lack of hot water. The same man who was at check out is who I spoke to. "I was able to discount the room rate, but I need to discuss with the owners anything else. I will call you on Tuesday and let you know what happens." Today is Wednesday and never heard from them. I am rating them "poor" because they never followed up. I had no expectations about further compensation, but please please please don't say you will follow and then not do so. Poor form.

Recently spent a few days at this gem of a hotel! We were meeting our daughter and her family ( and…read morein-laws) for a short beach vacation. We had never been to Ocean City NJ before but have been to other shore towns in NJ. From the moment we got to the Harris House I was very pleased! The staff at check-in were very accommodating and let us check in early as our room was ready! They even called housekeeping to make sure that all was ready before we got there! The room was extremely clean, well appointed and convenient to the boardwalk and beach!! The free beach tags were welcome [ even though they never asked to see them at the beach!] The motel was very quiet and the pool was great! I would definitely recommend this motel to anyone!! The convenience to the beach and boardwalk couldn't have been any better!! A gem of the area!

No complaints; this will be our new go to hotel in OC, NJ!

According to the website it said the last day was 3.30.24 but when I asked about it they said the sale ended on the 28th. I mentioned the website and they said I would have to call. Then they changed the date on the website to the 28th which makes no sense since that is a Thursday and the deal is to book Friday & Saturday for $129 with a Sunday 6pm check out. The March 30th made sense for the last day to book it but they seemed to give a hard time and changed things around so I wouldn't trust what else they do around their establishment. Unprofessional and shady.

Check-in and out was seem less. There was always someone at the desk to help us and they were very nice. They provide beach passes, parking is only $15 a day. The place is very clean, beautifully decorated and recently renovated (in the last few years). The rooms have their own AC units, beds are comfortable, bathroom is big with 10ft ceilings, a rain shower head for the perfect pressure and shower experience. Beds were very comfortable. Breakfast is from 6am-10am. You can help yourself to cereal and oatmeal but they also have different menu items everyday. Today was omlet with 5 toppings or a parfait. The meal was well balanced with an arugula salad and a healthy serving of a variety of fruit. Coffee, tea, milk and OJ available. I loved sitting on the porch in the rocking chairs throughout the day reading my book. They offer blankets and umbrellas. Lemonade, coffee, tea, cookies, and wine are available in the evenings sometimes. Water (hot and cold) available from their filtered machine. You can sit inside or enjoy the porch area where there was a nice breeze. The owner, Sne, can be found working at all hours of the day. From serving coffee in the morning, fixing something in the afternoon, and delivering ice cream in the evening. He takes great care of the place and it's decorated with antiques he has collected. Only a couple blocks away from the boardwalk/wateraprk. The hospitality, attention to detail, and cleanliness were unmatched. We were only here for a night and are excited to return next time.

Staff here are what make this place go from good to great. Everyone is super friendly and helpful. They seem to enjoy working here. Rooms are well maintained. There is a Cafe on site where you can get lunch and dinner. Only ate there once but it seemed good enough. Parking spots are a little tight and you only get one so if you have two cars you will need to find another place to park. Office has coffee all day and my sister preferred to get it from there rather than make it in the room so that was a plus. Office also has games you can borrow and we took advantage of that one night. I would happily stay here again. It was a nice relaxing week.

Each unit has different owners managed by 1 on-site agent who caters to the owners, not the tenants. Inspect your unit before you sign the lease and at check-in. If a hurricane renders your beach week useless the realtor will attempt to collect your unpaid balance and NEVER will you be refunded for catastrophic weather that prevents you from using your full week, while just across the street, the Ocean 7 will GLADLY refund you for unused days even after you've checked in. Promised improvements were not made between rental years which I only discovered after the long ride here. The common facilities are very clean but there is absolutely no privacy and it gets noisy. The good points: Location is 10 out of 10, 3 steps from the heart of the boardwalk, bike rental & beach. The common facilities are very well maintained, including an outdoor heated pool and 1 hot tub, a group sundeck. Each unit facing the sundeck has outdoor table and chairs. My unit has a kitchen/livingroom combo with working dishwasher. There are laundry facilities on site and 1 ice-machine. My unit is always clean enough at check-in & the softwater pressure in the shower is strong enough. Needs improvement badly: Needs to be renovated; mattresses have rot, bunk beds are peeling onto the face of person sleeping on bottom. Pillows are lumpy & gross & blankets were stained and torn. The livingroom futon (counts as a 2 person sleeper...) is uncomfortable and not clean. TVs are tiny & antiquated, some remotes were missing. Cable service is cheap bare bones: 3 networks, CNN & antennae TV. Parking: You get one shady off-street space per unit large enough for a sedan or compact car. Inevitably there's always an idiot with a large truck crammed in & parked so close to me over the line that I cannot open the door to my car at all. Very discourteous. I had to take photos to ensure that the truck didn't dent my car. You have to bring every single thing you need for a week with you, including toilet paper, pillows, sheets, blankets, trash bags, paper towels, cleaning products, etc., so come prepared. After a very long ride to get here, there wasn't even a square of t-paper when I arrived; a little courtesy would go a long way...
