What People Say

Guests love the calm and scenic location, especially after a high-energy night out. The staff gets high marks for friendliness, and the rooms are praised for being clean, comfortable, and quiet. The complimentary breakfast is a frequent highlight in reviews.

Areas for Improvement

While it’s a relaxing spot, the hotel is about a 20-minute drive from downtown—something to consider if you’re relying solely on ride-shares. There’s also no bar or nightlife on-site, so this isn’t the place for post-show parties. But for many, that’s the charm.

The Bottom Line

If you want a peaceful, affordable place to crash after the show—without skimping on comfort—Fort Harrison State Park Inn hits all the right notes.
