Watch Hill Harbour House Inn — Hotel in Westerly

First, the good news: Harbour House is a relative bargain compared with other options in ultra-expensive Watch Hill. I paid $225 a night when the Ocean House up the road started at around $1,000 per night, peak season. Another plus is the first rate location on Bay Street, a stone's throw from the yachts and lovely ocean views that make Watch Hill a big tourist mecca during summer.||Now, the bad news: The entrance, up a wide, pretty stairway, has been blocked off with buckets of plastic ocean toys, so guests must enter and exit via a "General Store," which is basically a dark, cluttered, dingy souvenir shop in sharp contrast to the lovely shops that are a Watch Hill attraction. When I asked why, the lady at the desk said, "Well, we have lots of single ladies staying here..." I was left to conclude that she might actually be referring to ladies of the night. ||Rooms are small and lack basics such as large mirrors, luggage racks, a vanity table, even a box of Kleenex. The bathroom was tiny with a plastic shower. The view from my room was of a large parking lot. While there is free coffee, there is no free breakfast, and parking space is limited and awkward. The proprietress asked me to move my car several times, a big annoyance at these prices.||I do not think I will be...

We stayed over the 4th of July weekend Located in the heart of Watchhill Rhode Island. First of all I must mention how helpful and generous the staff was and thank you for all the suggestions you made our stay absolutely fabulous.

It was very quaint and clean very cozy felt like home.The sunset views off the back deck or spectacular and the beach was easy accessWithin a short walk of the inn. It was so nice having guaranteed parking when there was no parking available and everyone was sold out.

I just referred a friend to the Harbour House, and they advised me of the bad review on here, so I want to set the record straight. We come to Watch Hill every year, and stayed at the Harbour House. If you are looking for something with a bunch of amenities, this isn't it. This place is a hundred year old building, and many people-like myself-enjoy this fact. I don't know anyone that comes to stay in the hotel. Everyone comes here for the shopping and the beach. This isn't a bed and breakfast. There is a coffee/general store attached to the hotel, and Harbour House guests get free coffee from there. The rooms are affordable and they are located in a central location. If my memory serves me right, they are only open for 8 weeks/year. This is a great place, the owner and his staff are...
