Cohasset Harbor Inn, Cohasset

I stayed here 10 years ago and was very satisfied...it was a clean, upscale, intimate little place. Nothing like I experienced on my recent stay. In my opinion the place was worn and drab. I am embarrased to say how much I paid for a very small room, with a small screen TV from a bygone era, a tiny dated bath room, and not even enough room for a comfortable chair. Whats more, the room's balcony is not wide enough for two and its is shared with the room next door...an uncomfortable arrangement. The place had a musty smell about it and the staff seemed indifferent. I wil not be returning.

This was a most disappointing experience. For the price they charged, which was over $230 per night, the room was small, drab, not-well lit, and only had the barest of amenities. I could have stayed at a low budget hotel and gotten a better room. The mattress had seen better days and the pillows were lumpy. The towels felt almost like sandpaper from overuse and washing. My garden view room actually overlooked a street and a slab of dirt. The continental breakfast featured overripe rotten fruit and stale pastries. We stayed there because of a wedding nearby but had I done better homework, I would have booked elsewhere. A similarly advertised hotel we stayed at on our trip in Mass. in a resort town cost much less but had all the amenities of a luxury inn. This hotel was a terrible waste of money. The room was comparable to a room at a motel and it should be priced accordingly. The only good aspect of the hotel were the nice people at the front desk and Oliver, the marmalade cat who guarded the front entrance.

First let me start by saying that the Cohasset Harbor Inn (CHI)is hosting my wedding on May 10, 2008. I have no choice but to stay with them at this point- or else I would move my wedding in a hearbeat. Do not have your wedding in the Harbor Room. If you do- do not have your guests stay there. I am spending money to have a wedding there and a woman at the Front Desk has been rude not only to me, but to my Step-Mother, and after "losing" a reservation made last year- a close friend from out-of-state. The best part is I cannot get the "Director" to call me back. They are the closest hotel (basically a stone's throw away) to the Atlantica restaurant which is another venue for weddings that is part of the whole "Cohasset Harbor Resort" thing- and also the place that caters the weddings at the CHI. I have no problems with the staff that coordinates the weddings or the Atlantica- I want to make that clear. It's the hotel and their staff. Also, if you stay there, no matter what your age, you are treated like a highschool kid. There is a crazy no drinking in the rooms "policy". So be forewarned if you'd like to have a glass of wine or tow in your own room- it's a no-no. Please. They are overpriced as well- so steer clear. I can't say anything about cleanliness or anything else yet, but who cares? They already ruined it. I am staying in their suite and paying full price. The Bride and Groom weren't even offered a discount. Need I say more?

The Cohasset Harbor Inn Resort is such a nice place to stay! The view of the ocean is amazing. The private balconies are very romantic. The Atlantica Restaurant is right down the street, and the food there is delicious! It's a really elegant restaurant. The service at the hotel is excellent! I would reccomend this hotel to anyone who's looking for a peaceful romantic getaway.
