Harbour Inn - Parker, Arizona

Nice clean place, convenient kitchenettes. Great place to stay when visiting Parker - next to River, Havasu Springs, and Jeeping. 25 min to Lake Haavse. Mike is awesome and always cordial.

Mike- the host was awesome! The place is clean and close to many activities! I’d stay there again.

It's actually a cute room. We've had dirty rooms after 50 years of life together. But a jerk is not tolerable.
The supposed owner, Mike, seemed odd at first, and then, after a few interactions, it became obvious that he hates people, at least us. We (myself, my wife, and our 2 granddaughters) were the only people in the hotel for the entire 3 day stay.
I admit it felt strange when he "busted me" (that's the way he made me feel, at least), rinsing my feet from the sand before I entered the room. Lol.
Upon arrival, my wife found black hair balls in the shower drain (full sized brillo-balls). We asked for additional washcloths & towels. There were 4 of us, so we should have a set for each person, right? Like on the reservation. But because my sweet wife needed to clean things like the toilet, the refrigerator, and the appliances (it was truly disgusting), we needed a few extra.
We are water conscious people and intended to use the same linnens, bedding, and towels our entire stay.
Again, there were 4 of us. There was a single pancake mix among the offerings in the room. Even though we were led to believe at least a continental type breakfast was part of the amenities, it was no big deal. So we asked for a few more of the single-mix bags. His response was, "It would be cheaper for me to go buy a box of mix for you."
The pans had food dried to them. The dishes and flatware were not clean, so we asked for a few dishwasher pods to run a load. You would have thought that I asked to borrow his new boat. Lol
We did not complain. Instead, we cleaned.
The owner seemed like he had issues. We did not want to add to whatever he had going on.
But when he confronted my wife , not me, saying "people like you are draining the river," it became fairly clear that the reason that things were not very clean is because he's not using enough water with washing linnens and fixtures, etc.. (see the attached pictures)
Mike was RUDE, AGGRESSIVE, NOT SENSIBLE..... when i was not present, he attempted to enter the room saying, "You people leave now!" My sweetheart said no, you're not coming in, and we paid for a full stay, and a full stay is what we will get. The granddaughters said he looked like he was going to erupt. I'm guessing that asking for washcloths & towels is somehow an unreasonable use of his water (whatever). I'm sure that water (or his lack of use thereof) is the reason his towels are so dirty (see pictures) .
This part is almost laughable
He had the wrong WIFI password. Apparently, we were using the password written on the placard on the wall in the kitchen. So, because Mike said if you need anything, just text me. So 9:30pm I texted him about my issue and his response was that "there's a piece of paper with the password on the table, the office is open 9 o'clock to 9 o'clock". I said to myself, "Huh, okay!"
Here's another funny, Mike must have been upset. At about 7:15 am. on our last day, he got after things with a leaf blower. No big deal, we needed to get up anyway. But when I went out to start the vehicle, I noticed that he had blown all of the surrounding GRIT up against the door, door mat & my shoes. So obvious. Poor Mike. Whatever could possibly be motivating such clear customer relations?
My sweet wife is such a softy. She feels the guy has had a life crisis that has rendered him the jerk that has become. If that's the case, I'm not intending to trash the guy but instead give insite to someone that there's a possible bump in on the road to a great vacation if you stay here.
My recommendation is to find a better place to stay. I have no idea how this place got 4 stars. I question that.
Hey Mike, if you're reading this, I have a suggestion for you to either find something you like to do for a living or get some ministry. This is not working out well for anyone.

After reading this guy's reply I am convinced he is a crackhead.
Avoid this place.

Don't let the modest exterior of this establishment fool you.
The room was the perfect blend of a hotel and an Airbnb with the price tag of a Motel.

A modestly stocked kitchenette down to the provided tumbler for coffee was a nice touch.

Mike at the front desk was more accommodating than my own mother when it came to our needs.
Don't hesitate to ask for anything.

You will not find more bang for your buck within a 200-mile radius.

Harbour inn has a down home feel that hasn't succumb to Biden-nomics.

I recently had a terrible experience at Harbour Inn. As we were trying to turn around in their parking lot, the owner or manager came running out, screaming at us about chargers. It was a bizarre and incredibly rude encounter. I definitely do not recommend this place to anyone looking for a pleasant stay.
