“Hospitality & Home-like = Happy Humans!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 December 2011

This hotel is on the main road thru Fremont, MIchigan. It is a one story facility that is nestled back off the road. The front desk help not only offered us fresh baked cookies, but welcomed us "by name" with open arms and offered to assist us in any way possible, even recommending local restaurants to us. Our room was extremely clean and comfortable - not to mention spacious accommodations! I do not know where they got their mattresses and bedding from, but it was the BEST nights sleep the two of us had had - and that includes even at home! The manager / owner greeted us at the front desk upon check out and we had a lovely conversation and he hoped we would return.. which we will make it a point to do so! This is one place not to drive by, but drive to. For a vacation or just a one night get away.. you won't find a more pleasant place to stay!

Room Tip: Any choice is a good choice at this facility!

Thank you very much for your wonderful comments. At our recent employee Christmas party, as part of our fun evening of Q & A with various rewards, the question was asked, "Who is No. 1" at The Harrington Inn? We were unsurprisingly pleased that nearly every employee wrote, "The Guest." Thank you for reinforcing this important goal. We are here for you and not the reverse. You are right the fresh cookies are hard to resist. The mattresses in all guest rooms are unsurpassed by 5-star hotels in West Michigan because it is the most important aspect of a restful night. We look forward to your return. Lou M

“Grand Hotel in small town community”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 December 2011

We were Wowed by the spacious room, leather chairs, the big, very comfortable bed with lots of pillows, the heat lamp, flat screen tv, whirlpool, fridge and microwave and quiet room. Continental breakfast stays open later than most and is simple and relaxing. We were impressed with the cleanliness and the friendliness of the staff. The automatic doors were a nice touch, no putting down or shifting your luggage around to open the doors. If ever in the area again, we would not hesitate to stay there again and would highly recommend it. Bob & Gayle Bennett, Prescott MI

Thank you Bob and Gayle for your review and even a follow-up phone call. This may be the first written "WOW" but it is the aim of the entire staff. The plans for the future include even more "extras" to ensure guest comfort, convenience and a relaxing home away from home. We look forward to seeing you again. The entire staff.

“Great place in a small town”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 September 2011

We have stayed at this hotel many times over the years. It was starting to show it's age a bit, but has been newly renovated. We have really enjoyed our recent stays here, especially in the summer. It has a nice, well maintained pool with a beautiful wooded background. The beds are really comfy and they now have very nice oversized leather chairs in some of the room categories. Also free Wi-Fi and nice flat screen TV's. They have a continental breakfast each morning, freshly baked cookies at night and will even make popcorn in the evening for you if you request it. You can also walk across the street and get a very good pizza at Spanky's. The prices are reasonable too.

Room Tip: The deluxe queen rooms have two large, comfortable leather chairs.

Thank you for your recent stay at The Harrington Inn. We are pleased that you recognized the many upgrades since your previous stay. We purchased this 39-room property July 1, 2010 and have invested over $350,000 since. In addition to the areas mentioned in your review, the quietest and most efficient heating and air conditioning units were installed in every room. On September 16, all lighting fixtures and areas were updated for energy efficiency with no decrease in guest comfort. Although we have fecently been accepted to the Small Elegant Hotel Registry, we intend to continue guest improvements in our quest to towards excellence and comfort. Lou M

“Everything you need in a nice, comfortable motel.”

I have stayed here many times for work. The location is very convenient for my job location. The staff is very kind and friendly. The rooms are spacious and very clean. Each room has a microwave and refrigerator, which makes eating healthy on the road much easier. They have fresh baked cookies every afternoon and a nice continental breakfast in the morning.

Nice home town touch. It's obvious that service is a priority and the customer owns the place when they arrive. Rooms are clean, spacious with comforable beds. A good nights sleep is always important to us and we weren't dissappointed. Rooms also have refrigerators. The pool was well kept and inviting. The cookies in the lobby and continental breakfast add a nice touch. We would have no hesitations staying at the Harrington when we return to the area.
