We stayed here a few weeks ago and found the hotel to be perfectly located, clean and accommodating. The staff was friendly and allowed use of the facilities prior to check-in and after checkout. The pool was perfect for my toddler and preschooler with a larger shallow end. I was on the boardwalk side on the second floor and was... more

This is definitely an old beach motel, not too many updates, but it was nice and close to the boardwalk. The pool is really nice, big, and heated. The motel is right off of the boardwalk on 12th street, conveniently next Mack n Manco. The rooms are small and outdated, but clean. The bathroom is tiny! Unfortunately no elevator so... more

This is our third year at the Harris House and in additional to a great location next to the boardwalk and with a heated pool, it now has wireless access. The rooms are always neat and clean, and everyone from the owner to the staff are pleasant and helpful. The rates are very reasonable, especially if you book their "mini-week"... more

Before you read this review of the Harris House I just want to take a moment to explain that the place is a JERSEY SHORE MOTEL. The Bellagio it ain't but motels at the Jersey Shore simply never are. That being said our July 2008 stay was wonderful. Although plain and dated the motel was absolutely clean, comfortable and conveniently... more

I chose “The Harris House Motel”, because of the rating that **Trip Advisor** had given it and the location of the motel. I wanted a motel that was close to the boardwalk and the beach; with a heated outdoor pool as well as being comfortable and clean. The Harris House Motel had all I wanted and needed. The motel is... more

Great place!

We just returned from a 2 night stay at Harris House. We found the accommodations above adequate for this area. Everything has been recently remodeled. Rooms come complete with new drapes, towels, linens, carpet, table with 2 chairs, hair dryer, microwave and mini fridge. The bathroom is small, but appropriate. Location can't be beat.....step out from the parking lot, right... more

Just okay...

We stayed at the Harris House Motel over Memorial Day weekend for some R&R. The motel is located steps from the Boardwalk next to Jilly's Arcade and Mack & Manco Pizza. The rooms are basic, but clean. The bathroom was so small the door could not be closed while using the toilet. Hot water was also in short supply at... more

I have been coming to OC for years now and this was the first time I have stayed at the Harris House. I am not sure why I haven't tried it sooner - I vaguely remember viewing their website years ago. Maybe they need to advertise more? We did a short stay from Sept 16-18 and I will not hesitate... more

My family and a I have been coming to the Harris House for our September mid-week vacation for four years after encountering rudeness at the Ocean Front Hotel. The staff is VERY accomodating, and have always done well meeting our requests (from 1st floor handicapped accessible room to booking two rooms together). They also allow extended parking (after check out... more

I'd rate everything about this motel as 2*, but for a beach vacation, it's location and relative value drag it up to the 4* range. We've been going there for years and highly value it's convenience to the boardwalk and beach. No long, hot tiring treks carrying all the beach gear up and back. Want a time out, quick nap,... more
