This historic hotel is so beautiful, I hate to give it a poor review. Nevertheless, I could hear everything in other rooms surrounding mine. Consequently, I had a terrible sleep experience on a lavish, beautiful comfortable bed. The view of the Atlantic Ocean was spectacular but some of the furniture in the room was threadbare and or worn. The breakfast... More

My wife surprised me with an overnight at this fine inn, about a 2 minute drive from our house. It was in the middle of the winter, so we had the place pretty much to ourselves. The jacuzzi and fireplace received grateful use, the dinner was delicious, and the front desk and dining room staff were pleasant and helpful. All... More

We had only three days, including travel to get away from work/home and refresh ourselves. Emerson Inn filled the bill. Lovely older inn undergoing continual unobtrusive upgrades. Great continental breakfast included each day, comfortable clean rooms and very helpful and friendly staff. One minor drawback - no elevator, which we traveled light so it wasn't an issue. We would highly... More

We really felt welcome and relaxed from the moment we checked in. The staff was very understanding and accomodating. Our views of the ocean from our room were beautiful. The hotel is very historic, but the owners have upgraded the bathrooms and all the places it counts. The continental breakfast was very generous and tasty. We look forward to our... More

We found the Emerson Inn by the Sea a delightful place to stay. Given that's it's about 160 years old, you don't have great sound insulation, but that was minor. Our room was pretty small, but adequate for our stay. I bed was very comfortable, the bathroom had been very nicely updated, and the unobstructed view of the ocean was... More

We stayed at the Inn Sunday-Tuesday in February. The room was clean, bright and comfortable and the view of the ocean was beautiful. The cafe where the continental breakfast was served was perfectly set, the beverages and food was more than enough. We loved the waffle maker! The hotel staff was cheerful, helpful and accommadating. Thank you for a wonderful... More

We stayed for one night in November, had a very tiny room and the windos fogged up so we couldn't see the ocean at all, couldn't hear it since they had storm windows in. The breakfast was the worst, they advertse a "continental" breakfast in the offseason but it was the worst I have ever seen in a hotel, just... More
