Guest Reviews
Location was terrific as was the breakfast. The croissants were a bit large and not very soft. The cocktails and little bites were yummy as well.
Nothing really, except the bathroom was tiny. Given the room size, however, it was cute and fit perfectly into the arrangement.
Everything
The muffins were excellent!! We didn't have a full breakfast, but grabbed "on the go" because we had a lot we wanted to see while there for the two days. Coffee was also excellent. Our view of the ocean was just perfect! The help at the desk was excellent, friendly and a pleasure to work with!!
The next time we would reserve a room on the first floor to avoid the stairs as I have difficulty walking, not your fault. Other than that, we were very satisfied with our accommodations. We finally figured how out how to warm up the room with help from the very nice front desk.
The Emerson is a very nice local hotel. It's an old building, but wears it's history well and still provides a relaxing, comfortable stay. Enjoy the spectacular sea views whilst sat on the deck with a coffee. The staff are helpful, attentive and friendly. Location is a great base for exploring the Cape Ann area
Like much of the Cape Ann area, it winds down for the night very early. Bar closes at 8pm and there is little alternative in the local area. Breakfast was very limited with most items being sweet / sugar based.
The view
And the stuff was amazing
Honestly at no point was I unhappy with anything. The view is beautiful the inn was absolutely amazing and the staff was the cherry on the top
Very relaxing place - good wi-fi - lovely view on the sea
Location
Everything was great
The whole vibe was so relaxing and felt like going back in time. The views are incomparable. The service was above and beyond. Breakfast on the porch overlooking the ocean was an amazing way to begin the day. Drinks on the porch in the evening was an equally pleasant way to end the day. Location is so convenient to beaches, shopping and scenic drives. Also the property has direct access to a super cool walking path along the coast where you can see and hear the waves crashing against the rocks.
Our only complaint would be our room had a damp odor, despite the a/c keeping it nice and cool. Everything was super clean so not sure what the issue was. Perhaps they had just washed the carpet and it hadn’t fully dried. Also pillows weren’t the best. If not for these minor issues I would give the place a 10/10!
This spot is a little piece of heaven. My husband and I had a wonderful long weekend here to celebrate his birthday. The weather cooperated and the pool was lovely. Day trip to Good Harbor beach was also perfect. We walked the Atlantic path also which starts right there at the Inn. Highly recommend
The views are stunning! And the room was very comfortable, the food and drinks excellent, and the staff really nice. It was the perfect place to just relax and appreciate the ocean.
The only difficulty, and it was minor, was the stairs.
Breakfast was great, plenty of food choices.
There weren’t any lunch options at the hotel.
We had two rooms for a long weekend getaway with our 3 teen boys. The Inn was perfect and very clean! Breakfast with soft music looking out over the sea daily was a highlight! We enjoyed long walks on the rocks and the beach path from the hotel. Water and coffee available all day was much appreciated. After long days at the beach it was fun to play games and watch movies in the lower level lounge. We will definitely be back!
Great getaway for a few days of relaxing in a historic Inn. It is located overlooking the ocean without direct access to a beach but with a wonderful salt water pool. Has all the amenities you would expect in a first-class Inn. The staff is wonderful and very attentive to making your stay enjoyable. My wife and i have stayed there now for three years in July for about 4 days stay each time. There are less expensive places to stay but none with the character and charm of this Inn. I highly recommend it.
We stayed two night and wished we had more time to stay longer. The Parlor Bar and porch were relaxing and provided a place to enjoy light snacks and drinks while taking in the beautiful ocean breeze. The staff were able to assist us with all our needs and made us feel welcomed and comfortable. The rooms are well appointed and tastefully decorated. The bed was exceptionally comfortable. Breakfast croissants were amazingly fresh and paired with the most delicious coffee ever. Highly recommend staying here if you are looking for a relaxing restful reset.
The property is a beautiful classic old New England Inn.
The common rooms were beautiful and the breakfast was plentiful especially accommodating a gluten free diet.
The breakfast hostess who I believe was from Finland(?) was very accommodating, and dining on the veranda overlooking the Atlantic was wonderful.
While beautiful, the atmosphere was impersonal.
Regarding our room... my wife and I felt cramped, as the room was uncomfortably small.
The room was missing a hair dryer which for my wife was an important amenity. I had to borrow one from another guest because the front office wasn't opened and when I called the number as instructed, I got an answering service.
I absolutely loved staying at this hotel! Everything was so clean, and the staff were genuinely friendly and welcoming. They made me feel so comfortable, almost like I was staying with family. The hotel has such a cool and different atmosphere. It reminded me of the roaring 20’s with a Great Gatsby style, but it was still peaceful and relaxing. The ocean views were absolutely beautiful and the whole place just had this calm, peaceful feeling.Would definitely stay here again!
Excellent staff and breakfast pastries!

Always a relaxing and beautiful moment when we head to the Emerson Inn. Views and drinks on a lovey deck in comfy rocking chairs…what more could you want:)
