Harbor Light Inn Review

Near the Old Town House, two Federal-era mansions make up this gracious inn, which is much bigger and more luxurious than its austere facade suggests. From the wood floors to the 1729 beams (in a third-floor room) to the swimming pool, it's both historic and relaxing. Rooms are comfortably furnished in period style, with some lovely antiques; most have canopy or four-poster beds. Eleven hold working fireplaces, and five have double Jacuzzis. The best rooms, on the top floor at the back of the building, away from the street, enjoy views of the harbor from a distance. The undeniably romantic inn, a popular honeymoon and weekend-getaway destination, also attracts weekday business travelers.

Facilities:
Tavern; airport shuttle; concierge; access to nearby health club ($5); Jacuzzi; heated outdoor pool

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
