About this business
Any account of the Harbor View's history must begin with Edgartown, its legendary birthplace. Settled in 1671, this early colony steadily came to be known as a prime port for whaling. And as that enterprise grew, so too did Edgartown, in both prominence and influence. In fact, by mid-1800, this bustling municipality had become the Vineyard's wealthiest. But as the whaling industry began to ebb, Edgartown officials turned their attention to a new source of prosperity: tourism. With ambitions of building the finest resort o... read more

Hotel is wonderfully located however once past the clean and welcoming reception things go dramatically downhill. The initial room provided was the worst experience in many years of travelling. Housekeeping standards were appalling, filthy bathroom, chest of drawers pegged up with cardboard to stop drawers falling open, balcony covered in mould, then the bed!! After a long day travelling I lay down to rest for five minutes and was met with a very unpleasant smell, on inspection, the mattress appeared freshly soiled with a ma... read more
We felt like management was ignoring details and areas. We found out that a new owner will be renovating much of the place soon. It has more potential and is not worth the price as of now.
Harbor view Before we got to he hotel I had asked for something to be set up for my fiancé birthday on check in when we received the room nothing had been set up and completely ruined the surprise. Our AC didn’t work and had to put a wondow unit in to finish our stay. The concierge were very helpful but the people at the front desk didn’t seem to have their act together. The room was dated and definitely needed some upkeep.
Mold /mildew/ renovations oct Dropped something on bathroom floor. When picking it up noticed mold and mildew on the wall and toilet that wasn’t visible otherwise. Also a lot of wood replacement needed in exterior. It is my understanding that major renovations will begin oct 2018
Room was not as it appeared on the website - very dated/small and had stains on the furniture.
Room hot air conditioning in the building we were in was being replaced. The room got to 86. The people at front desk just said it will be fixed in a couple days. Hotel wasn’t 25% occupied but they didn’t offer to put us in one of the other buildings where the AC was working. Piillows worn out!!
The condition of the hotel is questionable, the key fob to open the door took multiple times, staying in the back building isn't as charming. The hot water is very inconsistent.
Hotel in town water views I was disappointed. Very understaffed. The staff that was there was not friendly. They refinished the floor was n the lobby while we were there. Had we known would not have stayed there. When I mentioned this they did not even apologize. There was a lot of deferred maintainence needed. We went off season. However I cannot imagine paying high season pricing at this property.
