Harbor Light Inn is a very classy, well-managed property. Housekeeping is outstanding, our room was cleaned daily and obviously by a staff that really cares. Everyone that works there is very friendly and helpful. Our room was spacious and comfortable. Easy walk to harbor edge dining and through the town for shopping. I appreciate they have parking on site in the back. We highly recommended staying here if you plan to visit Marblehead or Salem. Easy drive into Salem. Only thing that could have made our stay more perfect was some warm food like scrambled eggs for breakfast. They do offer a very fresh, extensive breakfast with lots of options. All in all, a relaxing and enjoyable stay.

Fabulous!
Great stay. Lovely room, fabulous service.
One minor gripe~no tea making service in the room. I realise this was available in the breakfast room but I want to be able to drink tea in the privacy of my room without facing the world.

A beautiful property with the charm and feel of Old Town Marblehead. Everything was elegant and perfect. The staff and innkeeper exceptional. A lot of love time and effort have been invested in the Harbor Light Inn and it shows. The best stay we have had hands down. Cannot wait for our return stay.

. Great location in Old Town - walkable to anything.
. Very friendly and proactive staff - they all “act like owners”.
. Immaculately maintained backyard patio/pool area is a great place to take breakfast or afternoon cocktails, both of which we did and thoroughly enjoyed.
. We’ll stay again whenever next in Marblehead.
