Emerson Inn By The Sea

Just absolutely spectacular. We had our wedding at the Emerson Inn this weekend and filled the inn with our closest family and friends - there was nothing but great reviews from everyone. The staff was truly amazing and did everything they could to make us all feel welcome and comfortable. We could not recommend the Emerson enough, and cannot wait to come back every year on our anniversary!

We just got back from a wonderful weekend at the Emerson Inn. It was our 45th wedding anniversary and I couldn’t decide which inn to go to but then decided on the Emerson Inn. What a choice!!!! At first we booked for two nights but after being there one night added another night to our reservation and they were able to accommodate us. The surroundings of the property is just beautiful. Hotel to parking is easy access and if you have ever been to Rockport parking is tight everywhere you go. Streets are narrow and a lot of accommodations have limited areas to park. But that is the charm of the area. Views especially sea views are breathtaking. restaurants are delicious too. But back to the Inn, everyone we encountered was pleasant and helpful when needed. Rooms were very clean and comfortable. Restaurant was superb. There was plenty to do just around the inn. Take a stroll, swim in pool, sit around fire pit at night, they have a beautiful game room, or just sit on the great porch and watch the sunrise. If you ever get a chance please stay at the Emerson Inn. I highly recommend it.

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.

Rooms are small but just use for sleeping. This hotel is a winner. Restaurant in hotel was excellent as was the view from their xtra large porch with comfy chairs. Location of hotel is also great. Close to center city for great eating and shopping. Highly recommend Little Icecream shop. Also, across street, best Lobster rolls you will ever eat. You haven’t lived until you experience all that the Emerson has to offer in beautiful Rockport!! Joe and Toby Sterling Mass

My goal was to have a relaxing solo overnight and it fit the bill in an amazing fashion. I LOVED my room with the sea view and will definitely stay in that room again. The pool was amazing and they kindly let me use the pool both before my check in and after my check out, which really extended my stay. Everyone I interacted with there was super nice and very welcoming. I’m obsessed with the historical charm of the building. The ocean view is everything! I went midweek and it was very quiet and I just thoroughly enjoyed everything about it.

Lovely place to stay. Owner on duty to help and oversee. Peaceful and very enjoyable visit.

The Emerson inn By The Sea is a warn and welcoming destination that blends rich history with modern amenities. It offers a warm welcoming staff, cozy accommodations, a refreshing salt water pool, and activities to fill your daily schedule. The Emerson is located 2 miles from the center of Rockport (which is an artists dream location) and only a short 15 minute drive from Gloucester. Easy residential walks with beautiful ocean views and professionally landscaped residences compliment the Emerson facilities. A game room/library/movie theater is available for days of inclement weather. Overall the Emerson Inn By The Sea is a big hit with us and an assured return location next year.

The room had a terrible odor. It was not welcoming I really didn’t want to be in the room for long. Very wet & musty. It was room 202. Even the towels felt wet to dry off with after showering. For the price it should at least have a dehumidifier. The inn has a beautiful view. Front porch is nice. The mattress was very uncomfortable it was slanted and lumpy. I swam in the pool it was nice but the water was cold which I find refreshing. The pool is advertised as heated. The grounds are beautiful. I would stay here again but in a different room .

Lovely overnight at the Inn. Beautiful property on the ocean. Terrific dinner at the restaurant. Comfortable room. Very happy experience.
