Stayed with our friends at Stone Harbor once again for our annual August trip to the Jersey Shore... we love this place... Quaint, clean, quiet, and within walking distance to everything... Have seen negative reviews claiming rooms smell and/or are dated; for the record - my wife has a 'super sniffer' and has never had a complaint... as for dated... More

My two daughters and I planned a last minute "girls trip" to the shore this past weekend. We had a very hard time finding a place to stay. I came across the Harbor Inn, and while I had never heard of it decided to give them a call. They were able to accomodate us for the one night we needed.... More

We were supposed to have a rental for the week 08/25-09/01/12, but that fell through, so I found a 2 bedroom efficiency here at the Harbor Inn starting on the 26th. We have stayed numerous places in Stone Harbor and Avalon, but never at the Harbor Inn, and will not stay again. This place is WAY outdated. The cleaning staff... More

Modest place to stay. Front desk friendly enough. Take note the rooms might be smoke-free but there are tables with ashtrays outside every room. Sad when I had to explain to my 7 year old what an ashtray was. Didn't appreciate the entire housekeeping crew smoking outside our room (102) every morning. Shows poor taste, not too mention a health... More

I booked my family into the Harbor Inn for two nights in Stone Harbor and it's probably on par with any of the other small hotels in the area. It's close to shopping and fairly close to the beach, so that's two big positives. The rooms are clean but small and very basic - old fixtures, old furnishings, old TV...... More

We stayed in the 2BR unit with LR, tiny but adequate kitchen, ok bathroom. Everything was clean and neat, and the staff friendly and helpful. It is a great location, close to the beach and the shopping and dining area. But as stated in another review, there are a few drawbacks. No pool, even though it's sister/adjoining motel has one...

My husband and I stayed at Harbor Inn Motel with a friend of ours and we stayed in the 3 room + bathroom efficiency suite. It was perfect for sharing with a friend, we each had our own privacy with the separate bedrooms and the living area and kitchen was big enough for us to spread out and enjoy each... More

Harbor Inn is a basic 1950's-1960's motel refitted in the 1980's. Close to the beach and shopping/dining areas, Harbor Inn is in a good location and provides a reasonably clean room at a fair price. Stone Harbor is a quet beach town and Harbor Inn is a quiet place to stay. Breakfast at Uncle Bill's Pancake House is expensive but... More

If you are looking for a no frills, clean place to stay, this is it. We left a bed and breakfast to come to the Harbor Inn Motel, because the bed at the B&B was extremely uncomfortable. We were pleasantly surprised to find that the motel room was very clean, and the bed was not bad at all. The airconditioner... More
