Location is what sets them apart from other hotels in the area. Love being right by the harbor- great for strolls or bike rides in the evening. You have the option of renting a small cottage or a room in the hotel. The cottage experience was quaint and sweet. Not a far distance from the hotel and pool area. Great restaurant for dinner and very child friendly. The pool staff was especially helpful in helping us to shade our table during by the pool. Would definitely return.

We stayed at the Harbor View Hotel in the fall and it was amazing. We celebrated our anniversary and the staff went above and beyond to make it special. We were in walking distance to shops, restaurants, and bars. The lighthouse across the street is beautiful to look at and it was a nice area to walk around and enjoy the scenery. The room was beautiful and spacious and the restaurant, Bettini, had delicious food and excellent service. I highly recommend the Harbor View Hotel.

First, I have to say this was a decent hotel. Clean. Rooms are small but nice. Most employees are really nice. The location is good and has a beautiful view.
The employee who was a manager (Zane) is the biggest reason I would not go back. He was very rude to a lot of our group. I get that apparently there is a noise level ordinance that starts at 10pm. I also get that it is his job to enforce it. But there is a right way and a wrong way to do that. His way was wrong. He never asked politely or explained why he was shutting us down (we were a party of 24 who hasn't seen each other in 2 years

TLDR: LOUD. Don't stay here for peace and quiet.
After many years of day tripping to MV from Falmouth my husband and I decided to treat ourselves after admiring the beautiful hotel every time we biked here.
Pros: Top notch service, beautiful grounds, spotless, well-appointed and decorated room.
Cons: Stayed in the newer Roxana and it was LOUD ALL THE TIME. Just no insulation from noise and constant banging from above. You will hear every single move. So much money to not be able to peacefully enjoy room. Also, tiny parking lot. Could be a problem in busy summer season.

They're reopening but they won't answer the phone. I'll get a call tomorrow?? At least that's what the answering machine says...I made reservations months ago and I can't get the concierge to reply to my emails. They are now using open table app to make reservations but the app is limited and difficult to navigate. I'm still hoping to have fun...but it's not starting out very well. Figure it out Harbor View!!! It's been so great before this is sad

We just had a delightfully unexpected experience at the Harbor view hotel when Daniel, the front desk attendant, went out of his way to tell us about fun things to do on Martha's Vineyard. He brought out a map and showed us some of his favorite spots, that most of the public would not know about. He also called several vendors for boat rentals and breakfast places to see if they were still open for the season for us. We've been to many five star resorts and Daniel's customer service mindset matches these high end resorts. Kudos to Daniel and the Harbor View Hotel for snagging him

Came here for a long weekend with my fiancé. We spend a nice day sightseeing and want to sit by the pool and relax. My fiancé goes to the pool bar to see how seating works. We saw several other couples sitting by the pool with their food and drinks and we wanted to do the same. The guy at the pool bar asks us of he can help with anything and my fiancé asks how we could
Get a table for drinks. We knew we needed to order food as well, didn't think we had to make a statement we just wanted service. He was condescending and rude and says "it's a state law in Massachusetts you need

I loved this hotel. Whereas many in the islands are overpriced for what you get, this one met my expectations. The rooms were great and the best part is the wrap around deck where you can sit and have coffee with a view of the light house. I deducted a star for a couple of service hiccups but understand they might be busy with Covid procedures.

Pros:
-Hotel Room was spacious and good night sleeping
-View from our room was very picturesque
-Great location, easy beach access and nice walk to downtown
-Awesome bike rentals and easy to check out for a trip around town
-very comfy seating on front porch
Cons:
-no shuttle service
-We first arrived at 4pm, our room was not ready, ok fine we decided to grab a drink by the pool bar but it was so crowded and only 1 staff member cleaning and wiping things down. The bar was not well staffed and were backed up on orders. Given how much people were at the pool, we decided the beach was safer

If I could give this place 6 stars I would. Wow, what an amazing experience. First class customer service, clean rooms, gorgeous views, amazing staff. Me and my fiance had our wedding there and it was one of the best experience any newly wed could ask for. We will definitely be returning to this place again.

I am a fan of this hotel!
I had originally made a reservation for a weekend stay, but I accidentally booked the wrong weekend. Although their website was fully booked for the weekend I actually wanted, I was able to call the hotel directly and they were able to accommodate me. Very grateful about this as every hotel website (including direct) was sold out!! This saved my anniversary weekend!
The hotel itself is in a quaint location, a few blocks away from downtown Edgartown. I appreciated this as it felt private (well as much as you can be with million-dollar houses on each side), and a quick

Having never been to MV, I asked friends and did some research. The Harbor View came highly recommended, especially with the newly done updates. I booked a historic room with ocean view and linked up with concierge, Darlene.
Darlene is amazing! From the minute I booked until we took the ferry back from the island, Darlene was there. She helped me arrange a surprise 40th birthday golf trip for my husband in which I had secretly taken lessons. She went above an beyond booking every detail. When we arrived she had arranged for a driving tour around the island that dropped us off at the hotel.

My lovely bride and I stayed at the Harbor View Hotel over Memorial Day weekend. When we arrived, the valet, Walter, took very good care of our car and our luggage. He is a fount of knowledge about where to eat and drink on the Vineyard. He also recommended a couple of beaches that are off the beaten path. The front desk was always helpful and hospitable. We also had a brush with Instagram Preppie fame -- Sarah Vickers, KJP, Harry and Bennie were staying at the Harbor View, as well. Our room, #315, had an incredible view of the Edgartown Lighthouse and the harbor. We will definitely return!

Harborview is a a Vineyard must. The hotel is gorgeous and the view from the hotel is incredible.
Just tried out the new restaurant for brunch. The interior decor looks like inside of a steak house. I do wish the decor had a little bit more vineyard charm and style. However, the service was excellent. The bento box looks good and filling. The lobsters egg Benedict was good but could use a side like a vegetable or fruit. All around good experience!

Pros:
Quiet area
Beautiful setting
Elevator
Good toiletries
Fruit and water complimentary in the lobby
Free parking (limited. First come first serve)
Free WiFi ( worked 98% of the time)
Beautiful porch with rocking chairs
Heated pool
Ice machine available
Cons:
Room old and weathered.
Shower leaking
Staff not friendly
Pricy for what you're getting
We had the opportunity to stay at another hotel on day one which was cheaper and overall better than this place and that is why I have given it a three star.
I expected more. I think if the staff made us feel welcomed and cared about

Nice towels, beds, staff and location... there! I have given you the things that are deserving of this hotel. Now the rest of the story.
Don't be fooled by the website photos; yes, their lobby is beautiful (as is the view - IF you have a water view). However, this overpriced hotel has seen better days and the current owners ought to get their act together and restore it to the grandness that its history is worthy of. It is shameful that the paint is peeling throughout the hotel, wood is rotted, etc. Normal wear and tear is one thing; this is pure neglect.
