My wife and I stayed here several times when we wanted to stay a few days at OC. Great location, clean rooms and reasonable rates compared to some other places. The pool is nice and the staff is friendly. It is 1/4 block to the boardwalk at 12th st. More

My husband and I stayed here for Labor Day weekend. We've been coming to Ocean City for years and love Ocean City. Usually we rent a house in OC for a week but this year we went elsewhere for our week vacation. But we needed our OC NJ fix and I started looking at the hotel reviews on Trip Advisor.... More

The location is super, right behind the boardwalk. We stayed there for a short family weekend vacation. The rooms did not smell fresh/clean, had a masked cover-up odor. One room had dried up vomit in one of the trash cans, blood stains on the sheet of one of the beds and the bathroom/vanity faucet covers were filthy (poor cleaning habits,... More

This hotel is perfect for people who are looking to spend their time, well, NOT in a hotel! I stayed here two years in a row, and both years we were able to check in early Saturday morning, get a parking pass (the hotel lot is free for guests), and start enjoying the boardwalk. Though the room wan't ready until... More

This review is long overdue as we stayed at the Harris House Motel for two nights at the end of July 2010. Having never been to Ocean City, I did lots of research as to location and cleanliness of hotels here on Trip advisor before making our decision to stay here. When I made the reservation, the woman was extremely... More

We stayed one night in the Harris House Motel and found both the staff and the property to be just what we wanted for ourselves and two grandchildren. It is literally right behind the boardwalk, so you're just steps away from the rides and shops. The beach is great (they provide complimentary tags) and they also have a nice pool... More
