Great New York accommodation option.
New York is one of the most expensive cities for business or holiday accommodation and the Harbor House Bed & Breakfast provides a great alternative. Located on nearby Staten Island, the property is close enough to New York City (via the nearby Staten Island Ferry) to make getting to and from the city easy and convenient.
positive:
Iconic and uninterrupted views.

Negative Reviews
negative:
Limited parking available.
The bed & breakfast does not have its own parking lot and can only provide a limited street parking situation in front of the property.
negative:
Breakfast options very limited.
The continental breakfast that is provided as a complimentary feature is very limited and consists mostly of donuts, breads or rolls and popular cereals as well as fresh coffee and fruit juice.
negative:
Limited local activities.
Thanks to its location on Staten Island, the bed & breakfast is able to provide more cost-effective accommodation but is unfortunately lacking in local attractions as most attractions are either in New York City or Manhattan, both can only be accessed via the Staten Island Ferry which can sometimes run infrequently.
