The lodging is quaint and charming Hotel staff very helpful and nice

with one exception The host at the outside dining area was a total jerk Our stay was for two days and on both days interacting with this gentleman, his attitude was less than welcoming Don’t recall his name, but had very short hair and glasses Although there were several empty tables, he wouldn’t let us sit to watch the entertainment unless we bought food There were 4 of us & we were all drinking but he refused to let us under the tent or at picnic tables 8 at night, no one waiting to get in, but we weren’t welcome We had eaten there for 2 days, but it didn’t count We left & took our money elsewhere I understand if it was the height of the season & crowded, but it wasn’t He needs to be a bit flexible

Sonja Stefan

Wonderful experience!!! My husband and I have already decided we are coming back every year We have always stayed in motels close to the strip but this was a much better experience We could rest in our quiet comfortable room (slept great at night) away from all the noise and commotion

Very happy with our choice this time We are FANS and the Tavern food was AMAZING!!!

Kara & Dave run an amazing place close (walking distance) to the beach & the boardwalk I have been staying here for a number of years and I am never disappointed It is kept very clean & updated

There is air conditioning in the rooms & a pool on site A HUGE plus to me about this place is that you don’t get the partying…this is more of a family place and I really appreciate that about the way they run thingsAlso buddy the property pup is SUPER adorable You honestly cannot find better people than these two & they employ an amazing staff as well You will not be disappointed!

We have been ecstatic with our stay at the Blue inn You are right on the beach (or just across the street if you choose a cottage) the views are stunning and the service exemplaryThe breakfast and coffee delivered to your door each morning is just the icing on the beach stay cake

Our family will he back again for many years to come!

William King

Can’t beat the location, the staff is so friendlyClean rooms and breakfast delivered to your door in the morning is quite specialAlso on our trip there was a storm out at sea, which made the waves huge And they were right outside our door

Very romantic and highly recommended

Leah Janey

The rooms were poorly up kept It was false advertising The rooms did not nearly meet what they advertise on their website

The exorbitant amount that they charge could not be justified with the lack of care in the room The floors were scruffy the walls were dirty the furniture was outdated I asked for someone to follow up with me And no one did

I can’t say enough good things about this charming historic boutique hotel From the moment we arrived we had warm and helpful service from the front desk staff A special thanks to Jody for help with our reservation!The hotel is impeccably restored and the our room was spacious with a very comfortable bed and luxurious white cotton linens

We enjoyed the framed historic documents and photos thatdecorated the walls, the huge original windows, and the updated glass and tile shower A delicious made to order breakfast was the perfect end to our stay We will definitely be back!

Jimmy Brazelton

I have stayed in a lot of hotels, but this has hands-down been the best experience I have ever had The rooms were nice, clean, and very charming The wifi was fast and the temperature was great, as was the water pressure

They checked all the boxesBut what really made them stand out was their service Everyone there was incredibly kind, welcoming, and incredibly helpful The breakfast was incredible! It’s all cooked to order – just about anything you could want for breakfast, they’ll cook it for you We were there for a work meeting, and they let us meet in their tea room for extended periods – and they kept bringing us hot water for tea!We all absolutely adored this place and agreed that it would be our official New England meeting point for future meetings

Nicole Schneider

We booked the Garrison Inn as a weekend getaway for my 30th birthday!! This was one of the few places that allowed pets (our 65lb coonhound got to experience Newburyport!) It was close to downtown and all of the restaurants and rail trail/water walkway Check in was 4pm

We were there around 350pm had no problem checking in Two people at the front desk were very nice Quick check in and gave us keys and three papers One was put on our dash of our car and we were able to park right out front Other one was TV channels and third showed info about ice makers, checkout times, WiFi info Everything you needed to know We checked into room 306 with the king bed facing the park It had the soft music playing and rose pedals and a rose on the bed I was absolutely blown away There was a large king bed which was comfortable, tv, lounge chair, fireplace, desk and chair and bathroom Windows had wood shutters that opened Blocked all the light at night Very quiet area Bathroom had plenty of towels and large shower There was robes in the closet, a fridge, and even umbrella we utilized while walking our dog in the rain!! There was extra pillows and blankets in the closet so you didn’t have to bug anyone for additional blankets which we usually do Dimming lights on back wall and lots of tv channels to choose from There was bottled water for additional pricing ($5) or 24/7 room service for drinks/alcohol which we didn’t need to utilize There was a lot of great history to read on the walls about the inn Complimentary tea time was 7-10pm We were able to make our own tea and there were scones and cookies This was awesome Next morning there was complimentary breakfast that you ordered at the window Options from omelets, sandwiches to bagels Grapefruit juice and water as well as coffee and tea Just one man doing it all he was doing his best Checkout was 11am and so easy They even gave the dog a treat on her way out Just blown away as to how clean and beautiful this place was Can’t wait to come back again!

We have stayed here several times

Very friendly staff, and the rooms have been spotless, warm and inviting During our last stay, Emmy upgraded our room when she heard about our special occasion Having the hot tub In the room was a nice unique added touch Rooms are very quiet and well appointed with quality/ antique furniture Located downtown and feet from great dining and shopping Highly recommended

Tanya Blakemore

I highly recommend this place It is clean, rooms and beds are comfortable, staff are professional and kind; you’re truly valued at this inn The morning breakfast is just the right amount to get you started for the day

Getting to know Fred and Ethel, have changed my life, I will forever always remember our conversation and tips on improving one’s life!I will be back to stay This is my hotel of choice when I come to Newburyport, MA

Camille Gray

Staff was awesome You can’t beat the location either, easy walking distance to multiple adorable shops and restaurants Breakfast simple and ok

Parking was tight, but a definite plus WIFI was free and poor Room was clean and well appointed but very dated, and not in an antique quaint “New England” way Couch very outdated, wood pieces beautiful, but the lack of decor around them detracted from them Bed held up (securely)by a block of wood Big foot stain on the rug which kind of tickled us! No mirror outside of the bathroom, and that was just a small mirror over the sink This ate into our fun time, since we had to wait to use it TV is small if that matters to you, we never used it anyway Not perfect, but I’d still recommend it

Lou Sanoisette

Needs updates for the price CLEAN! 4 stars, Cable 2 stars, WiFi 2 stars Upon checking in to a disorganized mess, no waiting area at all, barking dog, being hushed because the lady was on the phone, being asked to wait outside and then being yelled at that it was OK to come in then was asked name and reservation information, to be asked to move again to get the keys

By this time we almost lost it and probably would have never left a review at all But finally get to our room and later seeing office ladies drinking coronas and complaining about everything and everyone at a picnic table and was thinking they get paid for this most pain full check in and us customers and others are to blame ? Just stayed away from the office and leave the key in your room when you leave

Our stay at Around the Corner Bed & Breakfast was fantastic! The house is so lovely, rooms were extremely well-kept and comfortable, and Rita is amazing! She made our vacation extra special and made us feel so taken care of! We really appreciated her attention to detail, hospitality, kindness, and personal touches (such as books and decorations on every floor)! The breakfast was delicious and a great experience to meet other guests! A true gem in Exeter!

Charles Underwood

What is there not to like in this quaint B&B? My room was large and quiet, the bed just the right firmnessThe hostess, Rita is a delightful caring person who also knows all the restaurants, shops and historical attractions offered in Exeter, a splendid historic town to visitThe B&B location is great; it is an easy 8min walk to downtown shops, restaurants and historic sites

Exeter Hospital is just right around the cornerThe house is nicely appointed The Wi-Fi excellent The back patio and yard are inviting, large with a wonderful lawn & natural beauty I found it quite the oasis!Overall a very comfortable stay Highly recommend this B&B

Feedback From Real Customers

Barbara Zdravesky

It had been a while since I last stayed at this hotel, and was discouraged to see how run-down the property had become, but it was nevertheless convenient and pleasant The staff are very polite, the accommodations are nice, and the room was comfortable There were a few small quirks though – there were what looked like a few cigarette ashes in the toilet, the drapes were torn and didn’t close all the way, one of the cups was unwrapped and in the trash basket, the trash bag itself had big holes in it, there was hair on the bathroom floor, and the TV remote was inside the bedsheets

It all gave me the impression that whoever was cleaning the room was either in a hurry, or got distracted in the process I’d stay again, but it probably won’t be my first choice, until there is new carpet and a general freshening up of this hotel

Ishka Bibble

Visiting here from CA to attend my niece’s wedding We’ve stayed at other Fairfield properties in CA, this is typical, nothing fancy or otherwise outstanding They have complimentary breakfast and I do have to say it was not something I would recommend, although their make your own waffles were good

Besides the fresh assortment of fruit, apples and bananas, hot dishes included what could only be really generously described as scrambled eggs and breakfast pork sausage – more like yellow warm mush with warm disks of chewy cardboard, it was that good They also had another chaffing dish with packages of something warm- not very appealingRooms were nice and clean, AC worked well (really need it in summer) and toiletries were 👍 Good place to stay, eat breakfast somewhere else

Rich Messina

I’m a long-time Hilton Honors member & stay at Hampton Inn’s pretty regularly This Fairfield Inn is better: staff, breakfast, room, bed, iced lemon water in lobby, etc

all for $55 CHEAPER/ night than Hampton!! They even adjusted my room rate a day after check-in, as I forgot to mention my AAA membership when booking Marianne took care of everything & Michael the GM was friendly & eager tohelp All-around superior valuegreat job!

Absolutely a wonderful experience! The Inn is just beautifully decorated with a few carefully placed antiques in clean, crisp rooms with lots of space and ambience We had a grand king suite with magnificent views and a gas fireplaceThe on site restaurant “The Grove ” was a culinary treat both evenings and for brunch

The hostess Kathleen and a peach! “Southern accent” with”Northern ” hard working attitude She was a delight! Fabulous food All three meals were delectable and our server/bartenders were again hard working and cheerful Erika and Taylor were remarkable as was the manager whose name I cannot recall This is a true gem all around Already booked a return trip 🙂

My sister in law just did her wedding here 2weeks ago Beautiful inside and out Entrance is a little tricky, almost looks like someone’s driveway

Once you figure it out its nice because it’s set back a bit so almost feels secludedThe staff is super helpful and did an amazing job setting everything up for the ceremony and the after party The decor is a gorgeous almost modern rustic takeI didn’t stay in they’re hotel because it was just too pricey for my family to afford, but another bridesmaid did and took me to see her room Ugh gorgeous, so much space, beautiful bathroom with full size tub Complimentary Fiji water in the roomOnly negative I found was the food For the amount they charged it wasn’t as I expected Let me put it this way our entire table (8 adults & 2 children) ordered the steak dinner and only 1 person ate they’re entire plate, and they even admitted it was nice because they were just so hungry

Sebastian Masiello

My wife and I spent a Sunday night at the Inn after dining at The Grove restaurant We enjoyed our experience at both the Inn and the restaurant Our room was bright and comfortable and was well appointed without feeling stuffy

It was also stocked with snacks and beverages that were reasonably priced Unfortunately the weather did not cooperate so we did not really get to enjoy the grounds We will definitely be making another visit there in the future

Smallest bathroom ever Location was great, good restaurants Towels and wash clothes were stained and low grade, not the quality that I am use to

Nice pool Stayed in a very small one bedroom with deck, ocean view deck was nice Suggestion, key deck door lock to be same as room door or you will have to call down to desk to come up and let you in Stairs are very steep and your foot does not fit on stairs so be very careful on those This hotel needs updating Lots of stained ceiling tiles in this room Great weather and great beach

kathy shakley

Owner was helpful in helping us get our belongings into our rooms ( we booked a suite and a single room) I was not impressed with the cleanliness of either Suite 28 was run down and filthy Fan had thick grime, baseboards rusty and dirty

exhaust fan covered in grime carpeting old and musty The fan over the stove and stove itself was very dirty with rust and dried grease One window has a crack in the glass The railing going out off the porch was so loose that it was an accident waiting to happen It was sad it was so unkept ( it was in the older part of the hotel) Loved the rooftop deck it was beautiful! Pool was ok but had green algae on the steps Outdoor shower didn’t work We made the best out of it but I’m still at disbelief on why the owners would be OK with such filth I hope they reevaluate on improving the condition of the older rooms I just can’t understand them not taking better care of their property

Very pleased with our first stay at Michaels! We will definitely stay there again Rooms was spacious and nice My only one thing I think was patrons parking in the carport area right outside our door

Left very little space to bring items out to the car to pack up Baby stroller cooler etc We also smoke and there are chairs outside our door with an ashtray but a car parked touching distance away with gas tank not safe So we could not sit out there

Michelle Sweet

The staff were super friendly and the rooms were clean The proximity to the beach was awesome There was an envelope in the room for tips but we didn’t have maid service at all for the three days

The second day I had to ask for towels and wash cloths If your looking for a place to land with no thrills, this is it Maybe it was the threat of the virus but I think they should’ve been up front about maid service It was definitely expected on our end

Christina Baker

This stay was so close to being wonderful before quickly going downhill Upon departure, I was notified that a towel was missing from the room and that I would be charged $50 for the missing item per their policy I immediately replied explaining that my friend and I were there for a short stay and did not use the showers or towels (outside of the makeup towels)

Regardless of my argument, the manager would not refund me the $50 because she “personally” knew there was 3 towels in room I explained I will dispute the charge with my credit card company in which she laughed at me I did not want to go down this road I sincerely appreciate that this is a small inn and thief can cause major pains for them, but it is also not fair to charge me for a crime I did not commit I can’t explain why a towel I had not seen or touches was missing

Cyndi Dusek

We stayed here last week for two nights and it was incredible! It was a great location, a half mile walk across the bridge to downtown Newburyport, and a ten minute drive to the Salisbury state beach The room was clean and bright and comfortable and so convenient with kids – the parking space was right next to the room door It was a super easy check-in and check-out and the email directions/communication was clear and easy to follow

Even though I never talked with anyone in-person, they were very responsive and friendly and funny over the phone The shower was perfect and the rooms had a mini fridge and great coffee There are two restaurants in the same parking area to choose from Our second night we didn’t want to walk back into town and this made things super convenient We will definitely be back!

Monica Toner

We arrived late because we had driven from Maine after our wedding on July 4th We stopped in the restaurant to ask about late check in and the woman at the bar was incredibly rude to us Actually everyone in Salisbury we encountered that night had an entitled don’t bother me attitude

The pictures of the rooms are completely misleading and I didn’t think the size or placing of our room was worth the cost No view and wasn’t anything special The bed was on cheap risers and the mattress sunk in the middle I’m sure the dock view of the boats is great at the restaurant but I wouldn’t stay there again for anything else
