My family has stayed at the Harbourfront a few times, and each time we go we have a different experience. Sometimes the service is good, other times it's not. The last time we were there, the beds were a bit hard, the bathroom kind of dirty and the service was not up to our standards. Don't get me wrong, I'm... More

The Harbourfront Inn was my wife's selection. What a great privately owned facility. Overlooking the St. Clair River from our second floor room. Nice picnic table under shade of tree out back. Watch the locals fish from a pier. The staff was courtesous. The room was spacious and clean. Continental breakfast was well stocked. Will definitely stay here again. More

We spent this last weekend visiting friends in Sarnia and stayed at the Harbour Front Inn. The young women behind the reception desk were very friendly and certainly made us feel welcome. Our room was pleasant, clean, with a very comfortable bed. The continental breakfast was adequate (but eating and drinking out of styrofoam bowls and cups, with plastic spoons... More

First of all let me start by thanking you for recognizing our outstanding staff. The positive comments about your room are also much appreciated. I do understand though, that they do not diminish, in any way, your dissatisfaction with its location. For that, I am truly sorry. I would like to clarify though, that, with the exception of the wing... More

Very happy we stayed here. Came all the way from California for Silver Stick and we were lucky enough to secure rooms at this place. Very clean hotel and EXTREMELY accomodating!!!! Went out of their way to make us feel welcome. You'll walk away once your stay is complete with the feeling that you made new friends. Beds were nice... More

We stayed here over Thanksgiving. This is an older property without frills but was a comfortable place to stay while we visited family. On the plus side it is clean, comfortable beds, furniture was in good condition, nice flat screen TV. The hotel was not full most nights, occasionally we could hear people from other units. The free breakfast is... More

We never stayed at this hotel before we usually stay at the holiday Inn nearby. We decided to give it a try since the reviews here seemed to be excellent. At first glance the rooms and decor seemed to be fairly new and the carpet seemed to be fairly new also so that was good. However when we laid down... More

It is with regret that I read about your disatisfaction in your stay with us. As happens in alot of instances, guests leave without giving us the opportunity to try and resolve their complaint immediately. We are very aware of the mattress situation and though they are not that old, we have been replacing them on an ongoing basis. On... More

Stayed for one night at the Harbourfront inn. The motel was clean, and the service was impeccable. They had free wireless internet and free parking, great little perks for travellers far away from home. The inn is situated by the sea, but unfortunately there is a fence preventing visitors from taking a stroll along the harbour. The surroundings are peaceful,... More

It has been several months since I was last here. The staff here is great. Some of the best, but the hotel still lacks in cleanliness. The bathrooms have old hairs scattered around, and even the towles have hairs from previous guests. This time I didn't see any insects crawling around, and the smell has improved. If they had cleaning... More
