    Pros +

    • Nice location for walking to restaurants and the harbor. Friendly and efficient staff. Excellent breakfast and a comfortable bed.
    • The service was excellent from start to finish. The breakfast (included) was delicious and we liked to cute little bar for an "emergency" cocktail after a long drive. The lovely grounds were immaculately kept and it was clear it has an owner who cares!
    • It was exquisitely decorated, the bed was the comfiest we have ever slept in and the location was extremely convenient. The women at the front desk were wonderful and friendly in addition to being knowledgeable about Marblehead. Breakfast was yummy!

    Cons -

    • Room was a little smaller than expected for the cost,yet it was very clean.
    • The pub was adorable but did not have a great selection of beverages.
    • Breakfast buffet did not include any hot breakfast selection as in years past. Bar was very noisy and crowded.

    This was a magical place and a magical town. I can't wait to return.

    Location is great for walking around old town. Room was comfortable and staff accommodating.

    Breakfast buffet did not include any hot breakfast selection as in years past. Bar was very noisy and crowded.

    The building was beautiful and homey! The rooms were nicely decorated and the beds were cozy. Breakfast was in a beautiful space and the food was great!

    Very little, the only thing was we booked a room with a fireplace. We have one room and the fireplace didn't work. Then were were placed in another room and given a duraflame log and it smoked up the room. It made everything smell like smoke. But, it definitely added to the experience and made a memory. We loved the place and would definitely stay there again.

    My wife and I enjoyed this place. It was like taking a trip back in time. The staff was informative and helpful. The Inn was clean and tidy. If I were to drive back to Marblehead I would only be staying there. Thank you for making my wife's and myself anniversary special.

    9JenniferPosted on: 10-6-2025

    Gorgeous property and wonderful location. Loved the little tavern downstairs!

    The walls seem pretty thin, so the noise from other folks walking around is pretty loud. Mostly, everyone tried to be respectful and quiet at night time though.

    10KaitlynPosted on: 8-21-2025

    Location is perfect and quiet. The room was cozy with the pool right outside. We enjoyed our coffee and breakfast on the patio in the morning and followed that with a swim in the pool. The entire stay was relaxing and I can't wait to go back!

    There really wasn't much we didn't like!

    The staff was very helpful. The Inn is in beautiful, historic building, not far from the ocean and located near other notable historic buidings The breakfast was exceptional and everything was fresh and delicious. The pool looked inviting, but it was too chilly to swim.. Grounds are meticulously kept.

    The room was small and a ittle stuffy. I would have appreciated a desk or some flat surface to write on. The stairs are steep and the driveway up to the Inn is also steep. The staff did offer to carry our bags. We didn't need the extra help but appreciated the offer anyone with mobility issues would be challenged.

    Pretty rooms, very clean, nice staff, good breakfast and nice small bar.

    5glennPosted on: 5-15-2025

    very clean, comfortable bed and pillows

    wifi did not work all weekend. 2nd time staying with you and this happened again. not acceptable. 15 inch tv on side wall in room was a joke especially when there was space to put a large tv above the fireplace. breakfast was weak and a big disappointment. you charged a lot of money for the room and cheaped out on breakfast. the orange juice was by request and undrinkable. breakfast should be ready and start at 6:30 at the latest. maybe buy a waffle machine. if comfort inn can do that so can you. great muffin shop down the street. cut a deal with them and provide those muffins. the little creamers are not the way to go. you have a beautiful inn; spend a few bucks more a and make the breakfast special. my sentiments were echoed by others who sat near us for breakfast.

    A wonderful find in the beautiful Marblehead. We were warmly greeted and provided with loads of useful information on where to eat and drink in Marblehead during our stay. An very friendly place . Breakfast was included - not a cooked breakfast if that's your thing, though what was on offer was a good variety of items both healthy and filling.All the staff were super friendly. There was also a bar, though we did not have a chance to go there - it seemed very lively when we walked past - so somewhere to explore on our return.Location was great for a lthe main things to see and go in Marblehead. They also have their own parking area off the street. Th ebuilding itself is from the 1700s and seemed like a tardis inside of cosy rooms, nooks and crannies to sit and read in.

    Not a negative for us, however, be aware some rooms are upstaires with no lift (its a wonderful old building), so if this is important to you be sure to request a ground floor room.

    I really liked the cozy bar area. The parlor and sitting areas were very well appointed and they lit the fireplace for us. Breakfast was a typical continental breakfast, but good.

    10GiannaPosted on: 4-8-2025

    Clean, friendly staff and guests, great sheets

    10GulnazPosted on: 3-9-2025

    Amazing historical location with beautiful views. I enjoyed every minute staying at this place. The room was cozy and had fireplace. Staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful!

    Everything was great!

    10RobinPosted on: 2-26-2025

    This is a property, with it’s quirky layout and loving attention to detail, that lets you feel as though you are in the 1700’s.

    It was a pity, especially considering the Inn’s strict none-of-your-own-alcohol-in-the-rooms policy, that on returning on a Friday night at 10 p.m. the bar was closed.

    10RhondaPosted on: 1-2-2025

    The Inn was nicely decorated and warm and cozy. The staff was very welcoming. The small bar area was a bonus! The appetizers and champagne were a festive touch. Our room was very clean and comfortable. The buffet/continental breakfast was plentiful with many delicious items. We would highly recommend.

    Everything was perfect!

    9JanetPosted on: 12-17-2024

    Beautiful old building and rooms. The bed was extremely comfortable and the shower excellent. It was cozy but well appointed. Breakfast buffet also good. The weather for our stay was grey and rainy until the morning we departed and then I saw the real Marblehead I’d read about!

    The only thing I could mention is that the breakfast staff were very noisy one morning very close to the breakfast room.
