Emerson Inn By The Sea

My wife and I were looking for quiet old New England Inn with charm to celebrate our 60 wedding anniversary - The Emerson was the ultimate selection. Expansive lawns between the hotel and the deep blue water was the perfect setting. Being about a mile away from the busy shopping area helped ensure the tranquility was with us during our entire stay. The unobstructed view of the water from our room helped maintain the peace we sought. The room was clean, neat, comfortable and well appointed and decorated. Real furniture, adding to the Old New England setting. |The entire staff was Wonderful! They all seemed to get joy out of our happiness and would anticipate our every need - although most of the time we didn't know we had any needs. They were very knowledgeable about all facets of the in

We loved our stay! Our room faced the ocean which made for a beautiful view and sea breeze. I did see some reviews mentioning that the rooms were small, but we didn’t mind. More importantly, everything was clean and comfortable, and the staff were very friendly and helpful. We loved the breakfast that was provided everyday as that made it easy to get the day started. We didn’t hang out in the library area much, but it was beautiful and inviting.

Stayed here for our anniversary. Beautiful location with a wonderful staff. They go above and beyond to make sure your stay is enjoyable. The rooms have thin walls, so you can hear anything going on, but overall, it was a great stay, and we would stay again! Everything was clean and top notch.

I read the reviews, and knew there was no elevator, but didn’t really think about carrying a large suitcase to the third floor of an old inn🤪. If this is an overnight stop on your trip, do yourself a favor and pack a carry on. Otherwise the inn was lovely. Room was small but comfortable, great view of the ocean. The staff could not have been nicer. We had dinner there, it was delicious. Our waitress was Nicole, very personable and engaging. We were lucky to be there on a Thursday, very good piano player who sang too.

We went to the Emerson Inn because we were scouting out wedding locations for my daughter. The Inn is in a beautiful location, good for walking along the water and close to the town of Rockport. On both nights, we enjoyed eating in the hotel restaurant which was very good. The interior is a charming older building that is well maintained and updated. The people who work in the Inn are friendly and helpful. All in all a very positive experience. Thanks!
