A+ for Debbie!

Our stay was amazing! From the moment we walked in to the moment we left, Debbie was the absolute best! We will be back. ❤️
Aimee, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Nice quiet bed and breakfast style experience.
Dennis, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great location, with off street parking. Old home, refurbished. Easy walk to beach. With high price I would expect it to have warmer atmosphere and be a bit less worn out. Furnishings very low end, plastic chairs. Tiny bathroom sink was a joke, annd not a funny one. and spots throughout need touch up.
Katesel, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

We paid at least $450 for a night and the condition of the hotel and room (peeling wall paper, pant peeling, bathroom sink small) didn’t warrant the price. It seemed a lot better in the pictures than in reality.

Beautiful but tired hotel

.Beautiful boutique hotel in historic Marblehead has all the makings of a noteworthy stay I really wanted to love this place but the old building is showing its age. Pealing paint above the shower, towel bars barely hanging on the wall and blinds that can’t be raised. I would give it 3.5 stars.

10/10 Exceptional

Lovely historic stay. Enjoying my coffee in the garden area; peaceful!

This place was absolutely lovely! The staff were helpful and the breakfast was tasty and beautifully presented. I could not be happier!
Meredith, 1-night trip

Great beds- terrible cleanliness and staff

The staff at the property on Wednesday was so rude! The bottom on my white socks were black because of the floors just in our room, if they were black; when was the last time they truly cleaned the room correctly? They say they do daily refreshing of the room, however there was no door sign and they didn’t even touch the room. The bed was comfortable however the cleanliness completely steers me away.

Nice hotel. Very clean. We borrowed bikes to cycle to nearby restaurant. Excellent breakfast.
Julie, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Beautiful historical home. But $400 a night is too expensive for a small, bare bones room
Julete, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Staff was very nice.
Marc, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

The house itself was charming, but our room was absolutely terrible. It appeared to be clean, but the carpet had so many stains. The furniture was cheap and plastic, the room was dingy. There was no hairdryer, breakfast was just some sliced up coffee cake. The air-conditioning unit in the window was not sealed properly and cold air was coming in all night. Not to mention road noise all night long. I wouldn’t not recommend this hotel for the price we paid. It was just horrible!
Pamela, 1-night trip

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.

10/10 Exceptional

This was a beautiful stay. It was very clean, quiet, and charming. The room was big, clean, and had amazing features like the molding and details on the ceiling. The bathroom was nice too. There are restaurants and entertainment close by. It was an easy process checking in and out. Very satisfied, and will definitely be coming back.

A great place to stay in a beautiful old building! Love all the original details! Quiet and relaxing. I'd love to see it in the summer!
Allen, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

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.
