Breakfast sandwich was not good at all. English muffin was hard and brittle. Pre-pandemic meals were very satisfying. The room was too pricey even with a spa bath and view of the ocean. Should offer AAA or AARP discounts.

Pancakes were delicious. Good choice of juices and pastries. Small refrigerator was added to our room upon request. Also a desk chair. Spa bath was delightful. Room view was breathtaking.

Our bathroom door was broken, but super minor detail.

The property was beautiful. Stunning location and beautiful space. Our room was small but comfy. Staff was very accommodating and went above and beyond.

No elevator. They were eager to carry luggage if asked, but the inn is only fully accessed using stairs.

Location right on the coast, but an inn of older design so only half the rooms get an ocean view. Although an older property it offered a timeless charm and appeal. Staff were universally friendly and helpful. They are working out some kinks in their food service caused by consequences of the pandemic and not unique to this property. Our room had instant hot water in the shower.

See above comments

The location was amazing and so was the staff I really liked the downstairs theater as well and the view by the ocean of course. But the breakfast choices were a little strange not much selection. The rooms were very small no water sprinkler for fire safety, no phone in the room, the bed was lopsided, and there were some stains on our towels and bedding. But overall We really did enjoy our stay and we would go there again.

This was a last minute booking for a quick getaway. You can’t beat the view and the huge covered porch overlooking it. My biggest surprise was the Coffee and Breakfast!!! Far beyond my expectations. Will definitely come back.

Parlor Bar open every day.

Delicious breakfast. A sea view you could never get tired of.

Bar had tight hours. Wish there was a bigger kitchen with longer hours.

The quietness. Amenities and location perfect. Very easy to find.

They have kept the charm of the older building. Great eating outside on the big porch, going in the salt water pool, good music playing, and good artwork. Air conditioning good, and enjoyed having coffee available in the hallway.

Didn’t realize we’d need a car! Car rentals were so expensive even for two days that we decided to take a Lyft from Boston not realizing it was close to impossible to get a taxi, LYFT or Uber to get around. We walked from the Inn to Rockport to eat and explore and had to walk back as well. over 4 miles round trip so LOTS of steps but hard on the old back. The Inn offers breakfast but no other meals at this time so you’re kind of stuck. I can’t blame the property for the lack of transportation

Beautiful restored inn with gorgeous views. The staff was absolutely amazing!

Bathroom just too small for a rate like that. Way too small.

Some rooms are a bit small but it is New England afterall (No wheres near a deal breaker). Beds are really nice as are the pillows. Room was super clean down to every detail!!!

Breakfast was a real nice treat. Its in the hotel and its cooked to order with wait staff. You can enjoy it inside or on the porch over looking the ocean/pool. Inside is extremely clean. Staff is extremely friendly and very attentive. A bit refreshing to see such good customer service!!!! :) Matty

There is no elevator on the property, so travel light. Bathroom door would stick. It is expensive and they offer free breakfast if you book direct, since I didn't know the area, I didn't do that. I also got confused when I first checked it and went to the door by The Emerson Inn sign. That is not the entrance and walked into the only room with an outdoor entrance in the whole hotel.

It is a quiet relaxing hotel with mostly older clients but that also made it very private. The pool was small due to the area the hotel was in but lovely. I slept better here than I do at home. The area is so beautiful.

breakfast was not up to par with how amazing the property was, there was no love or attention in the cooking. the pancakes were like chewing paper:(

the building, the rooms, the decor and the views were beyond amazing so loved the style and the history, with a little spark of modern

We loved that our view was the ocean every night. We sat on the porch of the inn every evening to take in the view.

The property having such long history is a plus. It’s also at the center of Cape Ann, everything was easily accessible - went to a different beach every day which were all within 6 -15 minutes from Emerson Inn. The beaches were gorgeous - very child friendly. Rockport town is nearby and very vibrant. All the other towns encompassing Cape Ann are short drive away. Tons of restaurants around. Although the food served during dinner at the inn are not to be missed - well curated and simply delicious. Kimberly, the Owner, and her staff were GREAT! They provided such exceptional service.
