The room was fantastic, decor, size, location... The hotel staff were very helpful and kind upon check in and i am sure had we needed anything during our stay they would have gladly accommodated us. We stayed in one of the suites, #61, not sure of the name of the house, on the bottom floor. Though it was very large, had the best shower i think i have ever had and was beautifully decorated, the noise from the floor above us and the cleaning staff was ridiculous. From the minute we got there all we heard was the people walking above us. All the floors are a beautiful hardwood, but when desinging the rooms, I do not think they took into account the noise level. Also, the stairs going up to the 2nd floor are all wood and the doors are incredible heavy and loud. That coupled with the cleaning staff who start at 8am, sleeping in and napping were not a possibility which was unfortunate as i left our two toddlers at home to get some much needed rest and relaxation. We did mention this to the front desk and we didn't get much of a reply, though i am not sure of what he could do. Overall, the hotel was great and if i was to go back with my children i would stay there, but for $1200 a night, quiet is a must for us.

After performing tons of research, we decided to book at the Harbor View for three nights due to its great location and solid reputation even though it was a bit pricey. I can say that we loved the hotel and think it is perfect for those who want to stay at a classy hotel in a convenient location with a perfect view of the harbor. We would definitely stay here again, but we'll have to save up first! Pros: * Excellent location for strolling around Edgartown * Lots of character, including a great porch * Awesome view of the Edgartown lighthouse and harbor * Nice chocolate covered strawberries in our room as a surprise wedding anniversary gift * Friendly and helpful staff * Walking down Water St. to/from hotel was a welcome, leisurely walk throughout our visit (especially seeing that one house with Clifford and his friend always looking at us through the doorway) Cons: * We had to slam our room door in order for it to shut completely * WiFi Internet was not working for half a day once * Pricey (you are paying for the location and the fact you are staying at the Harbor View) * Staff didn't bother to remember our names during our stay like other pricey hotels * Room cleaning seems to occur very late (past 4:30p in one case) We decided to visit MV for the first time to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary.
