“fur coat no nickers”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 September 2007

From the outside delightful, inside tacky. Don't stop in room 204, unless of course you want to be privy to next-door's TV and cell phone calls - loud and clear. Think they carved up a room and used cardboard for the partition wall ! There were 2 cotton wool balls in the container, one for each ear perhaps, but, we were 2 people sharing ! The mirror on the first landing was dirty ( I wrote 'clean me' on it, childish I know, but it was begging for it. The 'lovely' (not) crocheted cushion covers had suspicious stains on the reverse and the frilly curtains and frilly table cloths were a la Hyacinth Bucket ! Breakfast was pathetic, plants and flowers fake and not quality fake either . It's one saving grace was that the bed linen and bathroom were spotless, hats off to the cleaning lady, suspect it wasn't 'mine host' who donned the marigolds.
All in all a rip off at $225 a night. Next time I'll stop in Greenwich town.
Most certainly would not recommend it.

“Decent place for a weekend”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 August 2007

people found this review helpful

Nice area in general. We came from Italy and that was more or less what we expected. Some details need attention as for instance the old pieces of furniture and the fake flowers that actually look fake. The variety of breakfast items was poor. Good effords from the guys working at the front desk to assist us. The person at the front desk helped us to move our suitcases on the 3rd floor and he could speak a bit of Italian and German with us, which was surprising. No individual control over the room temperature as a minus. Quiet overall. Relatively high rates.

  • Liked — the location

“More like a hostel than a luxury B&B”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 June 2007

person found this review helpful

We stayed a couple years ago, but I just wanted to add my two cents, since there are not a lot of reviews here to go by.

My family and I like to travel to CT from NYC and stay overnight on weekends when we have the opportunity to get away. We tried Harbor House because it seemed nice, it was near Old Greenwich beach, and--given the high price, we assumed it must be fairly nice.

The place just seemed cheap. The door to our room, and the hardware in the bathroom, looked like they came from a Home Depot. Furniture was old (not old as in "nice antique," old as in "picked this table up at a yard sale" old).

The continental breakfast was cereal.

I'd rate it terrible if not for the fact that it's location was, in fact, a plus. But you don't have to stay here to go to OG beach (which is terrific for small kids, especially when the tide goes out).

Why the owners don't sell this great old (but worn down) house for $5 mil and get out of the business is beyond me.

  • Liked — Proximity to Old Greenwich Beach

“The Best place in Greenwich!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 September 2006

From the moment I arrived, I felt like I was home.The smell of freshly baked cookies filled the lobby! This place is simply wonderful, so cozy and elegant, Wonderful clean rooms with down comforters and duvets! My bathroom was so clean it sparkled! I took an early morning stroll to the beach, just a short walk from the inn.

“Something for Ms. Stuttig”

I don't recommend this place at all. I don't think Ms. Stuttig really understands customer service. Next time I am in Old Greenwich I will certainly stay elsewhere.
