I would never go back and do not recommend until a proper renovation is completed.
Pros:

Honestly and unfortunately, not much at all.
the outside looked historic and cute and thankfully the bed was very comfortable. Thats it!

Cons:

The accommodations were horrible especially for almost $400 a night?! There were 2 sets of stairs within the room that were not advertised online as the exterior stairs were. Very uncomfortable and needing a renovation desperately!

Un hotelito bonito y céntrico!
Pros:

El lugar es muy bonito, sientes que estás en un lugar histórico. Por dentro es moderno y limpio, con todas las amenidades de un hotel, y un desayuno sorprendentemente bueno!

Está justo en el centro de Newburyport, a pasos de cualquier restaurante, pub o zona de interés.

Definitivamente lo recomiendo!

Pros:

Gute Lage, manche Zimmer sehr schön.

Cons:

Wegen verstopfter Toilette (nicht von uns verschuldet) Zimmerwechsel am späten Abend notwendig. Neues, kleineres Zimmer direkt neben dem Eingang, gegenüber den Klimaanlagen, ab sieben Uhr morgens Türklappern. Keine Entschuldigung.

Frühstück aus Plastik, laute Eismaschine im Frühstücksraum

Beautiful rooms, great location
Pros:

Perfect location, plenty of on-site parking, big comfy bed. At check in time there was a big pot of soup for guests with cookies which I thought was just the sweetest and warmest welcome, especially for a cold day of traveling!

Cons:

We were only there 1 night but in the hallway outside our room a smoke detector was needing new batteries and so it beeped ALL night long and made for a terrible night of sleep for us. I tried to contact the property directly through booking to let them know (we don’t have a US phone number and had to check out super early to get to the airport) and there was no response from them. As a foreign traveler it’s frustrating when properties don’t use the built in communication tool on booking as that’s often the only method of communication.
