Depending on timing, we may have to charge a late arrival fee. 

We operate a limited bar service for the convenience of our guests. The bar will usually close with the front desk at 8.30pm, but may be kept open for guest convenience if desired. 10pm will be the latest closing time. 

All rates are quoted in Canadian dollars (CAD), are based on two people occupying the room or suite, and include a full breakfast. There is a charge of $20 for each additional person staying in the same suite. Please add 15% Sales Tax.

All of our rooms are non-smoking environments. Guests who wish to smoke may do so outside the Harbourview Inn. We provide a tented gazebo with ashtrays for your convenience. There is a charge of $200 to cover costs for extra cleaning and sanitizing for guests who smoke in their rooms.
