They have tried to spruce it up some however they are lacking in some areas. The air conditioning needs to be better. The beds are quite hard. The room are clean and the cleaning staff are great. The restaurant is not existent. Breakfast is not very good. The location is good on the water but without being able to go on the patio it doesn’t help the ambiance.

Security Deposit Concern While I checked into a three-night stay at Hotel Harbourview Inn and Suites, the front desk insisted on promptly debiting my credit card with the explanation that Expedia does not generally do so. I received a simple explanation that it is their policy while other places have none and that I would receive an immediate refund on checking out. Unfortunately, when I checked out, the front desk was inconsistent and stated that the refund would be given to me later in the day when another worker reports in. After 48 hours of patiently waiting for this refund, I needed to email a reminder to the inn. My credit card account finally received the full security deposit refund about 55 hours after checking out. Otherwise, my stay at Hotel Harbourview Inn and Suites was generally okay.

Good - Decent sized, clean room overlooking harbour in quiet area just outside downtown. Bad - Poor choice breakfast at 8.30am (only open 7 - 9) with cereal dispensers empty, overflowing waste bins and no staff on duty to help or replenish stock. Had 11 good hotel breakfasts in a 3 week holiday in the Maritime provinces but unfortunately the last one was this one.
