Stayed here with my husband, after a much needed night away. The Inn is located in the historic district of Marblehead, within walking distance to the eclectic shops of Washington Street and close to the harbor. We were greeted with warmth and a rose for Valentine's Weekend...Chocolates left on our bed too. We explored the area by car, at first, ate some chowdah at The Landing (yummy), and came back to the Inn to refresh. Susan greeted us with a glass of champagne and an array of desserts in the dining room. We took some sweets to save for later up to our room (21). The room was lovely and cozy, with a fireplace and 4-poster bed. Exploring Marblehead is easy from this Inn...the streets can be confusing, but get a map from the parlor and you're all set. We dined at The Barnacle for supper, not as nice at The Landing, but the food was good. We really enjoyed walking to dinner, in spite of the bitter cold. It was nice to come "home", pick up some DVD's and light a fire and watch a movie. Breakfast on Sunday was spectacular in the elegant dining room and sun-filled "breakfast nook". Newspapers were available for your perusal. Coffee was strong and de-li-cious. Creme Broulee French Toast was superb...recipe was give to us upon checkout. Fresh juices, bagels, lox and cream cheese. All yummy. Fresh flowers everywhere. Definitely an Inn I would visit again, and this, being our first. Susan George and staff...thank you for a lovely stay.

“Wonderful Stay at The Harbor Light Inn”
1
person found this review helpful
My husband and I recently stayed there, and it was all around 5 stars. We had a Fireplace and a jacuzzi room that was to die for.
Nice tavern and access to some great restaurants in Marblehead. The staff was super-accommodating.
Loved the full breakfast! And it was really great.
We definitely will be back.
Room Tip: Any room is good.

“Best Inn/Hotel in Marblehead, MA”

Besides all the wonderful amenities, they have a great tavern, fire places and it's located right down town in the historic section of Marblehead.
My favorite part is that they have a full free breakfast, that changes everyday.....not continental, but a FULL FREE BREAKFAST.
The best, all around. Great staff, as well.

“Back to Marblehead at Last!”
1
person found this review helpful
Finally got back after a number of years. That won't happen again. Last time stayed at a furnished apartment up the street. It was great but wanted to be spoiled this trip and did not need the kitchen. Read all the reviews online and decided to upgrade to an upscale inn. Stayed in a fireplace room on third floor that had a queen 4 post bed and cathedral ceiling. Gorgeous decor. ( room 37 ). Susan and Daryl were great. They were so sensitive to my dietary requirements ( no gluten) and came up with different alternatives each day to the breakfast buffet. Favorite was the gluten free pancakes ! Local restaurants are all within easy walk but I ended up staying in the first night,due to the cold, and ate in the cozy tavern. This was one of the best hotel/ inn that I have stayed at.
Room Tip: Ask for the fireplace rooms.

“Excellent Romantic Getaway”
1
person found this review helpful
My fiance and I spent a Saturday night in January. Even though the weather was freezing outside, this historic inn was warm and cozy inside. All the common rooms, as well as our room, had working fireplaces. The general manager, Susan George, was a wonderful host and gave us great advice on dining choices in the area. The Inn serves an incredible hot breakfast; probably the best "continental breakfast" I have every had. There is a cute bar next to the dining room. We especially loved the ship models displayed and the overall decor of the inn. Susan was very helpful and warm, without being too intrusive. Location is excellent, near the water, shops and restaurants. You couldn't ask for a better getaway and at a reasonable price.
Room Tip: Room 24 is excellent..romantic with fireplace.
