This hotel was clean and staff was friendly. I didn't find the bed to be overly comfy and the pillows weren't very good at all. It did include a free continental breakfast which is always a nice feature. No elevator but we didn't go in and out too often so it was ok. Was very quiet and was nice to... More

This is a very nice hotel located conveniently near the Bridge. We were in town to see a concert and this place work perfectly! Our room was clean and reasonably priced. The Staff was very helpful when we checked in and during our stay. My only suggestion would be to increase the items offered for breakfast. Maybe some waffles or... More

We were planning on staying in Port Huron, but we missed the turn off for the hotel and ended up across the border. Called while in line for customs and the Harbourfront Inn had room on Sat night despite 2 weddings that weekend. Price was reasonable, location was excellent if a little hard to find, room was clean and stay... More

A group of us stayed at The Harbourfront Inn for one night this past weekend. We booked this hotel based on a recommendation from a friend who lives in Sarnia. We were there for an event in Sarnia for the night and just needed a place to crash for the night. It worked for what we needed and for a... More

We stayed one night in Sarnia on a cross-Canada trip and selected it after consulting the TripAdvisor reviews. We were not disappointed. The hotel is very conveniently located to the border crossing and right on the water front. There is a very nice walking path immediately adjacent to the hotel that traverses the adjoining protected wetlands, a huge green space,... More

The rooms are clean, the furnishings are tired, the air conditioner is cooling but noisy. The advertised "breakfast included" is a broken juice machine, a coffee pot, 2 loaves of bread and a toaster - that was disappointing. The staff are a bit distracted, but eventually quite friendly and helpful. The hotel is well situated but on the ground floor,... More

We used Trip Advisor to search for accomodation in the Sarnia area and were surprised to find this place as 5th top choice. After staying here, we found it has the best location adjacent to the main boardwalk along the river and also looked as nice as the Holiday Inn and Best Western from the outside. My wife and I...

We've stayed at the Harbourfront for many years. We have nearly always had very pleasant experience. We will continue to return. Watch the weekends that the city of Sarnia has Bayfest. Lots of noise and a bit tough to sleep with all of the partying. We really do love the Harbourfront.

We travelled to Sarnia for one night to celebrate my Grandmother's 90th birthday! We have stayed at the Harbourfront before and it has always been a great experience.
