The Inn At Scituate Harbor

Short and sweet — Everyone who works there is fantastic. The inn is clean and relatively quiet. An excellent place for kids, pets, families. The only disappointment was that they couldn’t accommodate us for a longer stay.

if you enjoy small inns with friendly staff and clean rooms, you will like this inn. located a very short walk from the town shops, with a restaurant attached the location is ideal. our room looked out over the harbor. be for warned, Ma law does not allow you to bring your own alcohol to your room if the establishment holds a liquor license. the baker of the continental breakfast was late so we ended up searching Unilocal for a breakfast but fresh coffee was available when I went down at 6am and fresh fruit and cereal came out at 7.

Great spot! Very convenient location. Right in the center of town across from the harbor. Welcoming lobby with a nice small town feel. Not at all like a B&B but not like a chain hotel either. The people that work there are very friendly and accommodating. The corner room we got was huge with a comfy Cal King bed. There was nothing I would change about this place. One of the owners Karen mentioned that during the busy seasons which are spring through early fall the place books up pretty quick. Scituate is really a picturesque little town worth visiting.

If you’re visiting Scituate and need a place to stay, your options are pretty limited. There are a couple B&B’s but the Inn is the only hotel in town. For me, it’s a great option!
The views are amazing, the staff is incredibly friendly and the rooms are fine. At $ 150−170/night, I’m not expecting The Ritz! I expect comfortable beds and clean rooms and they exceed my expectations.
The Inn has been around for years but the new owners have done a great job with their updates. We try to visit for a few days each summer and every year, it’s better than the last.
A couple notes…
— Love the deck overlooking the Harbor. Beautiful sunrises in the morning and a great place for a glass of wine in the evening
— The continental breakfast is great. Fresh coffee, fruit, yogurt, pastries…
— Wi-​fi is available throughout the Inn which makes up for the terrible AT&T cell service.
— The pool is an unexpected plus or they’ll give you everything you need for a day at the beach — chairs, parking permit, towels… If you’re not from the area, check out Minot!
— The location is awesome! You can walk to all the downtown shops!
— Use your AAA card for a discount.
An earlier reviewer mentioned an incident with a waitress in the pub… It’s my impression that the pub (The Dogwatch) is a separate business.
If you’re looking to spend some relaxing time in Scituate, the Inn is the perfect place to stay!

I stayed here recently, and the rooms are just ok. The carpeting is a little old and the décor is a little drab, but it was clean. I would probably give them an average two to three stars if I hadn’t had such a horrible experience in the downstairs bar area. I witnessed the bartender humiliating the wait staff in front of customers, and the manager, «Linda», did nothing about the situation. They were understaffed that evening, and the young waitress was getting berated for what was clearly a poor management issue. It was really uncomfortable to watch the young girl being verbally abused, and honestly, it made me wish I hadn’t spent any money supporting the people who so poorly manage this establishment. Employees should never be treated like that.

I checked in to the Inn at Scituate Harbor after a long weekend at a friend’s wedding. The top floor room had a gorgeous view, the room was cute, and the whole experience was a peaceful retreat. I went downstairs to grab some food and the bartender was really friendly. Overall, it was a fabulous vacation from my vacation!

The Scituate Inn is in a great location and as it appears on internet the only place in the Scituate area. Although I only needed one night the Scituate Inn will only book you for a 2 night stay. I was hesitant to spend the extra money but I was assured that they will do whatever is necessary to get me a nice room and I needed a place in Scituate.
Upon check in and the final swipe of my credit card the hospitality ended. My room was downstairs next to their bar. It was very loud and I felt like I was in the bar itself. The walls and ceilings are so thin I could hear every foot step above me and voice around me. When I asked the front desk if there was any other rooms I was told very quickly «no!» and «that shouldn’t be a room anyway». I then went back to my room to try to settle in with the TV to drown out some of the noise and of course the remote does not work and the cable box has no buttons.
The next day I woke and getting ready for an important day I reached for the shower knob and gave it turn to seem like I triggered an electrical short. The Inn lost all electricity (not because of me). Shaving without light is not recommended! I then walked out to the lobby where the Inn provides continental breakfast, at least it’s supposed to but couldn’t because there was no power to brew the coffee.
The next evening upon returning after a long day we pulled into the parking lot to find several cars waiting for a space. There was no parking at all. I walked inside to ask what I was supposed to do and was directed to go park at a pub a few blocks away. I guess there bar attracts a lot of locals and since they already had my money the bar patrons got the parking.
I later called to speak with Linda the manager and as soon as she stated «Oh I was just in the middle of eating pizza» I knew this was already an inconvenience to her and would get me nowhere. Upon requesting some sort of compensation I quickly got «That’s not going to happen!» and when asked for the owners name I got a response of «I am the owner «.
I am a very passive person and for me to even get upset over this I can honestly tell you this is a 50 dollar a night Inn placed in a great town. From the response of «The Owner» it appears this is one of those places where people go to get wasted and wake to someone where they are not going to remember their stay anyway.
I understand ownership and management has a very quick turnaround so good luck Linda and good luck Scituate Inn!

I booked a room here just before it reopened so I wasn’t sure what to expect since there are no reviews. It’s a little pricey if on a budget, but compared to other places in summer towns with similar types of locations, it’s about the same and there was no minimum night stay.
The rooms aren’t fancy; standard hotel décor, not renovated. However, everything was clean, the bed was comfortable with new bedding, a fridge and iPod alarm clock. The bathrooms are outdated, but they do give you Crabtree and Evelyn toiletries.
What you are really paying for is a picturesque view of Scituate Harbor and the location. It is right at the edge of the Harbor, so you can walk to the shops and restaurants. The beach is biking and driving distance depending on which one you want to go and they can lend you a beach parking pass at the front desk.
I don’t think any of the rooms have decks, but there is a common deck that also faces the harbor with pretty garden flowers. There is a patio area that looks like a good place to have a function. I was told in the past they had a restaurant there. There is a pool, but it wasn’t open.
The room charge also includes the gratuity, bottled waters, and a continental breakfast-​nothing fancy there, but at least they had some fresh fruit and not just sugar pastry. It would be nice if they had one of those single serve coffee/​espresso machines rather than the regular brewed coffee that is hard to keep fresh.
The staff there were very friendly. When I came back in at 2 am (from a private party; there isn’t any nightlife in Scituate that would ever keep you out until 2 am), I asked if it was possible to have an extra hour for checkout since it didn’t seem like the hotel was booked. The woman at the desk was happy to accommodate.
Overall I had a great experience.
