    friendly staff

    Loved the cozy setup of the room and the lovely view of the bay. Plus, the staff was tip-top! Made us feel right at home despite the tiny quibbles.

    But honestly, my room felt like a shoebox—took a few deep breaths just to fit in! And no breakfast? A gal's gotta eat!

    group getaway
    docent-led tour
    two full bed accommodations
    upstairs noise

    Awesome spot for a group getaway! We had an amazing time exploring the nearby docents' tour of beautifully designed boats and hitting up the local film festival. The Two Full Bed accommodations were perfect for our group. Restaurants are super close, which made it easy to grab meals.

    Only downside was that noise from upstairs guests disturbed our evenings a bit.

    noise issues
    room insulation

    I appreciated the charming atmosphere of the Bristol Harbor Inn, with its lovely decor and comfortable furnishings that made accessibility easy for seniors. The location right by the water allowed for beautiful views and leisurely strolls nearby.

    Improved noise insulation for quieter rooms would help.

    spacious room
    stunning view
    great takeout
    parking issue

    We stayed at this lovely hotel, enjoying the stunning harbor view. With our young baby, we appreciated the spacious setup of our Double Room. The nearby restaurants offered great takeout options, making it a perfect spot for a family getaway.

    In my wife’s opinion, better parking options would be helpful for families with kids.

    well set up

    would definitely stop here again

    The double room was well set up with a flat-screen TV, refrigerator, and coffee machine. Nice heated atmosphere with a private bathroom featuring a shower and quality toiletries. Great location near local parks and restaurants, and the staff was super friendly. Not much in the way of dining on-site, but the area is cute and walkable!

    waterfront views
    great dining

    stunning waterfront views and close to charming local shops

    The hotel boasts stunning waterfront views just a few steps away from a lovely walkway, and it’s also an easy stroll to great dining options like Gray's on the Dock and Aidan's Pub, making this place perfect for a weekend of exploring the beautiful city of bristol. families will appreciate the clean, updated rooms that add comfort to a busy day outdoors, but the offsite parking can be a bit inconvenient, especially in rainy weather.

    spacious room
    awesome shower
    relaxing sauna
    difficult parking

    I really enjoyed my stay because the room was super spacious and the shower was awesome! They also had a nice steam room and a sauna that helped me unwind. Just a heads up, the parking situation wasn’t the easiest since it's a bit of a trek, but overall it was a lovely experience! 😊
