Let me start by saying what they did do right. The place is beautiful and very quiet. It was clean. The Views around Marblehead are stunning to drive to. Our room had a patio that we enjoyed sitting on in the evening. Coffee was right out side our room at any time of the day. However, Check in is at 4 and the staff leaves at 6. I was getting a text at 4:15 to remind me of this. Upon arrival the staff was professional but not friendly. Our room was VERY Small compared to a normal hotel room however the tub was a soaker and very spacious. When we went to bed that night I thought the bed would break when my husband got in and expected it to hit the floor at any moment during the night so it slept horrible and had a huge dip in the center. It was definitely broken, but with staff not on property what do you do? I informed the staff the next morning and they didn't know it was broke. Cleaning staff should have caught that. The breakfast was only yogurt and muffins with glass jars of fresh fruit. So not much to get you through the day on. I will say that upon leaving they did offer me a discount because of the bed if I ever returned. I don't imagine I will ever be in the area again but at least they offered something.

This property was beautiful. It was quiet and clean. I do believe it is more a bed and breakfast than a legitimate hotel. The staff, specifically Deb and Julie were fabulous. They were friendly, helpful, and very welcoming. They truly did everything they could to make our stay great. The few complaints I did have were due to my own misunderstanding of the property description and issues outside of the staff's control, like the couch in our room being ridiculously uncomfortable. The area is safe, quiet, and beautiful. The breakfasts were tasty and fresh, but are all cold like fresh fruit and pastries. There are no elevators, which had I noticed sooner, would have had a larger bearing on my decision to stay here. I would stay again, but not for 7 days, and definitely not on the 3rd floor again. I would recommend this place highly and only would suggest replacing the couch and putting in larger print on each room description that there is no elevator.

The house is beautiful, outside!! You would expect more elegance on the inside. We stayed at the Hampton inn last evening and our room here does not compare to that. This room is very tiny and the carpet should have been replaced years ago. Very sad looking.

This hotel is extremely deceitful! I paid through Expedia. When I stayed there, they asked for my credit card which is normal because I thought was for incidentals. Nope, they charged me again for my stay. I am NEVER staying there again!

The rooms are quite small and dated and the breakfast is quite limited. On the plus side, the area around the hotel seemed very attractive with a lovely sitting area around a fountain where you could probably meet and chat with other guests. Unfortunately for us, the weather was cool and rainy so we couldn't take advantage of any of that. All in all, the hotel isn't worth the price in poor weather but might be in good.

Disappointing stay

The hotel looked old and things seemed to be falling apart like door knobs. It was also a bit noisy from traffic outside and the fridge and heating system in the room. The people working there were nice though and helpful.

Great place to explore the coast

I spent 2 nights here, exploring the New England coast. The room was comfortable, with a comfy bed, nice hot shower and a small fridge. Staff were friendly and the simple breakfast in the morning was delicious. Off street parking and great place to explore the area.
