The Yard Tours

This is a very basic motel with a 1960s vibe. The room was clean, and we were safe, but I would only choose to stay here again for reasons of price. The beach on the Harbor was a pleasant place to sit, but not at all safe to swim especially for kids. It was kind of like staying at your elderly aunt’s house. The manager/owner seemed annoyed with me before I even said hello. The price is shockingly high for what you get, but for this business stay it was the least expensive option without a three night minimum.

We always enjoy our stays at the Harbor View. The rooms are terrific and beautifully appointed, and the staff is consistently helpful and friendly. The front veranda, with its sweeping views of Edgartown Lighthouse, the Atlantic Ocean, and Chappaquiddick, is truly delightful. The on-site Bettini Restaurant is another fabulous amenity—convenient, inviting, and absolutely delicious. You simply can’t go wrong booking a stay at the Harbor View!

A few smaller items that made the stay slightly questionable, no elevator bags had to be carried. Not much to do about that in an historical building, but it's a note for guests. I would expect a notch better, especially when coming to bedding. The bed was comfortable, but I would expect down pillows and blanket at this price point. The record player was a lovely touch. Parking was challenging, but again, historical town we must make compromises. Wonderful shower towels, GREAT pool and hot tub area. The location of the hotel is / was supreme. Only coffee offered in the lobby, no inroom machine, and no option of a latte, or capp in the hotel or lobby, only in adjacent restaurant. (Loud bathroom fan, bug in room, a little mildew build up on the shower grout, definite degradation happening on plumbing fixtures. At this price point, should be better)
