My husband and I just stayed overnight at this little inn. The staff, the Inn, the rooms are just perfect, everyone is so friendly and for our first time in Marblehead we could not have had a better experience. We will be staying in room 26 again! read more

My boyfriend and I decided last minute to celebrate our anniversary in Marblehead, MA and are very glad we chose the Harbor Light Inn. Mary was very friendly and helpful, the inn is lovely and is in a great location. Best of all were the pumpkin waffles. We're looking forward to going back again post-covid, when we can join other people in the charming little bar. read more

Our stay was to visit Salem. Great location for easy routes into Salem! We loved the hotel itself, but there were a few things we did not love. The staff was great...super friendly people and no problems with anyone we talked to. The disappointing part of our trip was the room we received [#34] is like a shoebox. It was very disappointing that we were never told the size until I confirmed the reservation the week we were arriving. When I emailed to confirm, they said yes you're in the "small room 34". I then kind of freaked out, but hoped for the best. Small rooms are hard for us given we are not small people. I would have never ever booked anything that small if I would have known. I'm not being sarcastic when I'm saying we had to sit on the bed to let each other walk in the room. Two people cannot walk around this room at the same time. The 1st night I woke up dry heaving because the room was like we were in a sauna. I then looked EVERYWHERE in this room for a thermostat that did not exist. I learned the next morning that you have to request your temp to be changed via the front desk. I was not impressed with that at all. For almost $300 a night, that seems a little strange you cannot control your temp in your room. I think our stay would have probably been 5 stars if we would not have been in such a tiny room and would not have been so hot. I truly wish I could have changed rooms, but they said they were fully booked each night we were there. Nothing was offered to be discounted which was a little surprising given I did not even sleep the 1st night. Just do not choose room 34 and you should be good to go! read more

Pros: Clean, nice linen, comfortable bed, working fireplace, parking lot around back, in downtown area. Decent continental plus breakfast, nice staff. Big room, 52" HD TV. Cons: Noisy( old creaky building) but due to its age, it's a trade off to see old architecture. 1 Enviro-log only in the fireplace. Noisy due the wind that night ( Habor Light sign) swaying. Outdated awkward bath set up but eventhing functioned read more

I'd love to go back. The rooms had exactly all of the amenities that I wanted. The staff were friendly and helpful, the parlor rooms with fireplaces are very cozy, and the lounge area was a nice amenity for a nightcap. Easy walking distance to several restaurants and shops. We will definitely go back, hopefully when the pool is open! Very reasonably priced for the smaller room that we reserved. read more

We had a lovely experience at the Harbor Light Inn. The accommodations were absolutely beautiful and the inn is conveniently located in the best part of Marblehead. I highly recommend the Harbor Light Inn! read more

Absolutely beautiful inn....the staff is amazing and everything is just wonderful. The breakfast is great and the location is right in the heart of old town marblehead. its a must visit! read more

Good B&B to stay at - close into the Harbor and within easy walking distance to both local shops and the restaurants along Front Street (the harbor). Some rooms are small, but they are clean and well-kept. Swimming pool with plenty of places to get a suntan, small but good bar, simple but good breakfast. Building kept up very well and in most areas WiFi is available at no cost. Stayed there early in June and it was good enough to draw me back for another day a few weeks later. Very helpful and friendly desk manager. read more

What a wonderful romantic weekend getaway. Check-in was easy and our room had so much character. The inn is centrally located, so we were able to walk to dinner, then go to a show we were attending. I thought breakfast the next morning was fantastic! They had a frittata, sausage, fresh fruit, pastries, cereal. I would definitely come back here again in a heartbeat! read more

This is a great place to meet a friend. The tavern is intimate and friendly and you do not have to be a guest at the Inn. Although I stayed at the Inn many years ago and it was great then. read more

This was our second stay here and it was every bit as wonderful as the first. It is such a quaint boutique inn that makes you feel at home. We love the homey feel, comfortable beds, and jacuzzi tubs. It is impeccably clean and the breakfast spread in the morning is delicious. If you are looking for a relaxing escape definitely consider the harbor light inn if in the Marblehead area. read more

We were treated to a night here by Marblehead friends who routinely use the Harbor Light Inn for "overflow" guests to their home. We had a lovely room on the top floor, which had a king bed, large closet, and nice bathroom. We were greeted warmly when we arrived, given an overview of the Inn's amenities (such as their beautiful heated pool and delicious full breakfast, which will accommodate special diets like my Gluten Free one), and showed to our room. There is plenty of free, off street parking behind the Inn--right in the heart of the historic, old town part of Marblehead. It is an ideal place to stay! read more

We stayed one night here as we were visiting friends in Marblehead for a party. Our room was clean and neat, we had a king sized bed that was comfy. A one night stay in January for this room was $199.00 (off season, New England a bit pricey) The staff is very accommodating and polite. We stopped in the bar area for a glass of wine and when I asked how long the bottle had been open for she said about 3 days. I asked if a new bottle could be opened and she said of course. Breakfast was offered in the morning, better than what you'd find at a Hampton Inn relative to presentation, the quality better as well but not outstanding. All in all our stay was fine. read more

My husband and I went to the Harbor Light Inn to celebrate our anniversary. The inn is wonderful and charming. The room was beautiful! We stayed in room 5 with a jacuzzi and fireplace. The staff are extremely friendly and accommodating. I have a gluten intolerance. Upon check in I asked about gluten free options for breakfast the following morning. They had gluten free muffins and made me scrambled eggs with gluten free toast. The selection for breakfast was a decent selection consisting of fruit, yogurt, breads and a couple of hot dishes. My husband enjoyed the bacon and egg casserole. In all we really enjoyed our stay and we are looking forward to returning in the spring when we can walk around the quaint shops and enjoy the history of Marblehead. read more

Love this inn. Perfect location in Marblehead to walk to everything. Exceptional staff and lovely atmosphere. Will stay here again.

Probably the best Inn in the state of Massachusetts. However, it's more like a Hotel than an Inn. Not just a continental breakfast, but a real, yummy full Breakfast. All the rooms have wifi and flat screens, plus full baths. And the Tavern is excellent and nice and cozy! This is so much better than any "inn" around, and it's the best hotel alternative. Parking, swimming pool, jacuzzi's and a great staff, as well. If you had 10 stars on yelp, this place would get all of them! read more

Fantastic, we had a small reception after high school graduation. They room was perfect the staff unbelievable helpful!!!!

The Harbor Light is the quintessential "home away from home". For many years as an executive in the apparel business I can appreciate the wear and tear of travel. I have entertained many clients in Marblehead over the past 20 years and In many cases they have extended thier visit just to relax and be spoiled by the sincere hospitality at the Inn. In the past year the Conway family has expanded thier menu and added a romantic tavern which is even drawing locals who appreciate taste. read more

One of the best things about the Inn, is that it's more like a Hotel, complete with all the amenities.....jacuzzis, private baths, wifi, flat screens and delicious food. Oh, did I mention a class-act pool, in the summer. Plus, off street parking. Walk to great shops and restaurants. A very nice tavern, to boot. I also hear that starting in February they are having a Private "famous: Chef (Dario) cater some yummy dinners! Dinners with Dario http://conta.cc/xmRvvI Doesn't get any better! Class act all the way. read more

My husband and I have stayed at the Harbor Light Inn several times in the last few years, and are always thrilled. Great rooms, a real full breakfast, and a wonderful Tavern. The staff is extremely friendly and ready to help out with anything in a moment's notice. Extremely cozy and more like a hotel with full amenities! read more

We stayed there recently and were pleased beyond belief! What a beautiful Inn, and actually it's more like a hotel, with all the best amenities. We had a flat screen, free wifi and some of the best food.....then the breakfast which we thought was going to be "continental" was a full, yummy breakfast. You don't get that at another other B&B or Inn I've ever stayed at. Very nice staff and great owners, as well. Will be back!!!! read more

WHAT a Gem! From the minute we stepped into this beautifully restored inn, it fellt like coming home. The decor is beautiful, the staff so warm and welcoming. WE had a lovely room with a jacuzzi and fireplace. It had the modern amenities, including a huge flat screen tv and working fireplace. In the am, breakfast was delicious . We loved the small little bar the evening before. WE can't wait to return when we can enjoy the outdoor pool area. read more

We were thinking of getting away for a quiet and relaxing weekend. We found The Harbor Light Inn in Marblehead. What luxury! The rooms were beautiful with a roaring fireplace in our room. It was so romantic. We went down and sat at the bar which was so cozy. The bartender even sang us a song. We had so much fun. We could see that there was a pool outside. We will definitely be back this summer. SMH Brookline Ma. read more

We chose the Inn because we wanted to stay in town after an amazing day at the Boston Yacht club. We were in room four (has a whirlpool tub) which I used prior to 10pm. For the next 7 hours (still going on as I type this) I could hear the water draining and running through the pipes. Temperature control was another lowlight to room. It just felt stuffy. We could hear a house phone very clearly when it rang as well. Think there is one in the table right outside the door. Good points: lovely parlor and breakfast area. The amazingly soft sheets and the fact we did not have to move the car to get dinner in town. read more

Stayed for 3 nights while visiting family in Boston. Absolutely loved every aspect of our time here. Room and common areas were clean and nicely appointed. Lovely breakfast, pool area, wonderful staff and perfect location. My new favorite place to stay in the Boston area. read more

My husband and I stayed at The Harbor Light Inn a few weeks ago, amidst all this snow. We were so impressed! The room was immaculate, the breakfast was wonderful but the cozy bar off the lobby is the perfect place to have a glass of wine. It couldn't be more cozy! read more

My husband and I had a great stay here. We chose Room 35 because it had a king bed and fireplace. I was a little disappointed in the fireplace because it just comes with 1 presto log, but if I had thought about it, I would have realized that they can't risk guests setting the place on fire with a real wood fire. Nonetheless, the room was spacious and comfortable. The breakfast in the morning is very good, with a hot entree, cereal, bread/muffin, bacon/sausage, etc. The hot entree is in a chafing dish to stay warm, so unlike smaller places where you are personally served your entree, this is not right from the kitchen. No matter, because the entrees were delicious. The staff was courteous. We enjoyed our stay. read more

We stayed here last fall, I agree in that its very over priced. For the price you would expect things to be a bit more updated. But breakfast and staff were lovely, great location. Just needs to be updated. read more
