We've stayed here several summers and you cannot beat Harris House for location. It's directly on the Boardwalk and centrally located. You can literally step out of the hotel and you're on one of the busiest parts of the boardwalk. Despite that, noise has never been an issue at night. The rooms are what you'd expect from a beach motel - they are not fancy or big but they are always clean and fully serviced. the a/c works and the ability to use the outside area for wet beach debris also helps. The pool is great for the kids and the staff is friendly and helpful. The fact that a beach access badge and convenient parking are included are big bonus points!

The motel is in a great location. Easy access to beach and boardwalk. The staff is very welcoming and friendly. The pool is big, clean and heated but refreshing. The visitors at the are mostly families and there is an arcade near by so between excited kids, pre teens and teens and people talking on the balcony it can get a bit noisy but not crazy or unbearable. With that said, by 1130pm-12am it gets super quiet which was great. If you have little kids with early sleeping schedules who are sensitive to noise I do not recommend. Check in and out was super easy. Any room issues are resolved immediately (tv had no signal). Rooms are spacious- we are a family of 3 and had the double queen beds. Beds are ok- I prefer a medium firm mattress these are medium soft (back issues don't like soft beds). We parked our car and moved it 1x when we went to dinner in Somners Point otherwise we walked everywhere. Would definitely stay here again.

Can’t really beat this place for a combination of location and service. It’s legitimately next to the boardwalk. With a stay, you get a beach badge per adult and parking on-site. It is clean and the staff was incredibly friendly. There’s a large pool with towels to cool yourself off before going back onto the boards. Really, there was nothing I’d complain about as it was the perfect place for our family of 5.

Very clean motel. Right behind board walk. Quiet, Nice pool, comfortable beds, Good shower and bathtub. Cable TV and wifi. Balcony, ours was facing pool. Nice people working front desk and cleaning staff was very attentive. Parking on site for 1 car. Also free parking for extra vehicle available on side streets close by. Motel is half block from beach and boardwalk. I will definitly return.

Just spent a wonderful weekend in OC. Location, location, location. Steps to the boardwalk. Arrived early, room wasn't ready. No problem. Here's a parking pass, beach tag, your welcome to use the heated pool. Room was spotless. Staff was beyond nice and helpful. Recommend 100%.

I have stayed here many times. All employees are helpful and kind. This past trip I found the bedding to be very wrinkled but otherwise the room was clean and neat.
