Last year my family and I stayed at the Harrison beach hotel because the resort was full. Thank goodness it was because it made us find this gem of a hotel that will be our annual summer trip place to stay. Just like last year, the hotel surpassed all standards we have.
Check in was quick and easy. They have secure underground parking ( $10 / night.) I’m not sure if it’s cheaper to stay in the above ground lot or not.
When we went to our room, we were greeted with a handwritten card welcoming us back to the hotel with a tasty treat from Rocky Mountain Chocolates. It was a really nice personal touch that goes a long way.
We stayed in the same room as last year, pay the upgrade fee and get the room with the view, it’s beautiful and worth the extra $$. The room has a semiprivate bedroom with clean white sheets and duvets. We had a full kitchen and a fold out bed that fit the kids nicely. The room is nice and dark in the morning which is a huge thing with the kids.
We swam in the indoor pool and enjoyed the hot tub on a not super nice day which the kids loved. The hot tub looks a little dated, and the pool area has some rust around some of the doors, but that’s the only area that the wasn’t 100%. It’s not a complaint, just noticeable.
The location is the best location of all the hotels in my opinion. It’s right across the street from the beach. The beach is beautiful, the water is ice cold, and the lagoon is quite warm. There’s a corner store right next to the hotel if you need to stock up on anything for your kitchen. Take a walk down to the far end and enjoy the coffee and food from Muddy Waters Cafe, it’s all delicious.
Can’t wait to come back again next year.
