When we arrived, the door was locked, directing guests to use the info in their text or email to access their room, or to call the phone number on the door for 24/7 service. I hadn't received check-in info via text or email. When I called the number, it went directly to voicemail twice. Fortunately, a current guest of the hotel let me follow him in, and a housekeeper was able to get me the information I needed to access our room. It was two hours and twenty minutes past check-in time when the text arrived with check-in information. When I replied it would have been nice to have the check-in info prior the check-in time, or the phone answered, the person who replied said they were doing laundry out back and did not get the call. Another couple was experience the same issue as I attempted to check-in, so I believe this was not a one-off problem. If they're not going to have a lobby and front desk, I think they really need to have someone actually answer the phone and/or reply quickly. Our King Oceanfront room was on the second floor, leading onto the deck that seats thirty. We were the only ones using the deck, fabulous for watching the sunrise. but I would not have loved looking out at thirty people using it, between us and our ocean view, during a busier time of the season. I'd recommend getting a room on the third floor for the view and to avoid hearing people above walking. On our second night, guests were in the adjacent room and it felt like they were in the room with us, we could hear their television and every word they said. The walls are thin. The bed was very firm and the pillows are large and extremely firm. We found it very uncomfortable. I was very excited to stay here; I grew up in Rockport, going to Front Beach with my grandmother, and looked forward to being at this location and checking out the new hotel. We'll try a different place next time we visit.

I DON'T KNOW IF THEY TOOK IT UP A COUPLE NOTCHES, OR IF I JUST GOT LUCKY WITH A CLEAN ROOM. I WILL AGREE WITH ONE PICTURE THOUGH, THE INSIDE OF THE COFFEEMAKER HAD THE NORMAL RESIDUE ON IT, WHICH EVEN AT HOME GROSSES ME OUT. BUT I MYSELF WOULD NEVER USE A HOTEL ROOM COFFEE MAKER. However so many reviews state the staff is friendly ... I never saw a smile on any of them let alone any friendliness. Not a big deal. But what WAS a big deal to us was the misleading description on their website under amenities that they offer a hot breakfast. The only things that are hot are the coffees, the hot water, and the toaster. If you're thinking of the breakfasts other hotels call a hot continental breakfast ... (eggs, sausage or bacon, hash browns, Belgian waffle maker), don't! So besides the hot coffee, there's juice, cold cereal, instant oatmeal packets, yogurt, fruit, bagels, English muffins, and packaged danish, muffins and cookies. At least it was something considering the room was over $300. EDIT: THERE ARE ALSO TWO PICTURES OF THE BEAUTIFUL HOT AND "YUMMY" CONTINENTAL BREAKFAST. FIRST, IT IS NOT THE ROCKPORT INN, AND SECONDLY IT WAS POSTED BY THE BUSINESS OWNER! TSK! TSK! And their Hotel market, with snacks, beverages, and convenience items. HaHaHa! It's a closet without a door. A cooler with soda, maybe water and juice, and several little baskets with snacks ... like grocery store family packs of tiny individual pouches that are usually labeled not for resale! I bought two tiny bags of cheez-itz and a coke for $10! They didn't get enough out of me for the room! So was it like $2.50 for each one gulper package of crackers and $5 for a can of coke? And I don't know what were considered convenience items, there were only the limited snacks and drinks ... forget toothpaste or Tylenol or any other toiletry or OTC item. When asked, they said sometimes they have things like that if people leave them behind! WHAT? We did love the little courtyard outside the pool area with all the patio furniture and fire pit ... but the pit should be right in the middle so more people can enjoy it. The first night our family of 10 just huddled in a corner because there were already 8 people around it who didn't seem to want to share. The second night we just grabbed some chairs and put them closer, saying "you don't mind if we join you, do you"? Of course we doubted they'd say no, but if the fire were in the middle, more people would be able to enjoy it. And there's plenty of room out there for those who don't want to sit near it, to have a quiet area elsewhere. Would I go back again? If I had a reason to go back to that area, I definitely would, but it's highly unlikely because this time we were there for a wedding being held at the Beaumont Hotel, 10 min. down the road, (which I understand was a DEFINITE ripoff)!Their standard king or 2 queen rooms were anywhere from $600 - $1,200! So I'm still going to rate the Rockport Inn a 4 ... I'm just subtracting the on star for the lack of friendliness and food!

Nonexistent WiFi…read more Whole toilet literally moves when you use it - not affixed to floor securely. And no I am not overweight. Tatty, cheap, damaged furniture and a popcorn ceiling. $280 for a mid-week night and it has a popcorn ceiling. Bugs and webs on ceiling. Shower rail coming out of wall both ends. Bath tub faucet not affixed to wall. Ironing board hanger coming out of wall. Took pictures / videos of everything when I arrived and when I left because I read a review where they charged $100 for something that the occupant honestly reported as damaged. Comfort Inn standard but 2 1/2 times the price. $100 hold for 'incidentals'. There's no mini bar and 'free' breakfast, so what exactly could 'incidentals' be? It's a damage deposit. Call it what it is. Not declared before booking so I wasn't expecting it. If they don't refund it I'll be disputing it via a chargeback with my credit card. Crappy coffee in the room. $280 a night and crappy coffee along with crappy powdered 'creamer'. The 'free' breakfast is a literal carb-fest of prepackaged crap. For $280 a night I expect *some* form of protein. Almost refused me when I arrived because I didn't have a physical credit card when checking in, just a digital wallet. I had already paid for the full stay before arriving. Motel did not state during booking the need for a physical credit card on check-in which is why I didn't bring one, having already paid in full. It's a glorified motel. Doors on the street. As a single woman I would never have booked here if I had known that. I thought I was booking a proper hotel. Especially at $280 for a mid-week night. Deeply disappointed.

We slept in the pebble beach room. What a view!!! Nice sunset, looking over the ocean. In the morning they prepare a nice breakfast with fresh fruit, greek yoghurt, cake, bread and eggs, and pancakes. Coffee is per machine which gives everybody a wide variety of flavors and let you decide how strong you'd like your coffee. Then when you're set and prepared for breakfast you can sit outside on the porch (I love porches!!!) or in the garden at the pond. Then again start enjoying. The sunrise, the nice environment and stroll a bit up and down the street afterwards... It's so lovely here. The room itself was nice and comfortable but still a star is missing as we had to shower in the bathtub. Normally that's not a big problem, but as we sere standing in the tub under the roof you have to lean sideways not to bump your head and there is no place to put the shower head. So have to keep it in your hands. So while your standing in the tub, holding the shower head, leaning sideways you also have to wash yourself. I think this is a big minus for everybody taller then 5 ft ;)

We decided on a last minute stay at The Emerson Inn for GF's birthday. We had originally planned on…read moregoing to Miami but because of the COVID situation in Florida, made the decision to stay in New England for a little beach getaway in Rockport instead. Because this was for a special occasion, we were initially going to BOUGIE it up at the W in South Beach so when we scrapped those plans, I still wanted to splurge on an ocean front property for our Rockport getaway and selected this place. Arrival: The place is right on the corner and easy to spot from the street. The road from the car to the entrance of the hotel is gravel and not amenable to rolling suitcases easily. Going up to the entrance requires ascending stairs. The concierge was there, after 10pm, friendly and welcoming which was a pleasant surprise for an Inn, which can have limited hours per my past experience. This property DOES NOT HAVE ELEVATORS but the staff offered numerous times to help us take our luggage to the 3rd floor but I felt that we could handle it. The room: We selected a "queen oceanside". The room is tiny. Like literally probably a few feet of space outside the bed in all directions. The bathroom is equally small, only one space to stand which happens to be in front of the sink, in front of the toilet, and to step into the shower. I've had larger rooms in Europe. The bed is very comfortable and the AC worked well. Everything was very clean. The towels were soft. The shower had top 3 best hotel water pressures I've ever experienced. You have to hold on or it'll blow you away. The water was hot. The toilet flush was weak. The tub initially drained very well but after showering for a few days, on our last day (thank god), it didn't drain at all? There was a mosquito inside our room the second we stepped into the room and I can say, having been home for about 24 hours, I am absolutely covered in mosquito bites from our stay here. Our first night, before opening any windows, GF got bitten on her face while we slept. It reminded me of the days I went to medical school in the Caribbean and slept in a mosquito net. Our second night, we opened the windows because the room was prohibitively steamy after taking a shower and the following day I noticed there are a bunch of holes in the screen. Classic. There is no fridge or microwave. The flatscreen TV on the wall worked well but no option for netflix or any streaming services. The view is absolutely stunning but there is no beach or water access. The window is only covered by a shade which doesn't do a great job of blocking out the light. It is very easy to hear doors slamming and other guests taking the stairs so if you are a light sleeper, I would recommend ear plugs. Services: There were ample towels provided. We were told at check in that there would be a card hanging on our door from which we could select to receive additional items. We requested new towels and hung the card outside the door. When we left in the afternoon, we still had not received requested towels so we asked at the desk. When we returned later that night, we still had not received the towels. Eventually, we received them about an hour or so after we returned. Amenities: There is a pool outside that overlooks the ocean. Sitting at the pool for a few hours was one of our best experiences during our trip. The pool is small and the seating limited. There is no room service. There was no maid service during the day. Location: A 40 minute walk to Bearskin Neck (the touristy shit you probably came to Rockport for) and essentially requires driving. There is really nothing within walking distance. There are extremely limited options for food delivery and literally no options for delivery after 10pm. If you're a night owl and you like to eat late, you will be hungry. Miscellaneous: There is a bar and restaurant in the lobby. You can sit on the veranda or inside at the bar. It is a gorgeous view. The drinks are expensive, similar to Manhattan prices ($17 for a drink). We ordered a few cocktails and ate at the restaurant on our last night. I ordered the risotto, and was happy to see vegetarian options on the menu, but the risotto was essentially tasteless and a waste of calories. On our last day, I woke up to three missed calls from the hotel and a voicemail stating, "nevermind, you don't have to switch your room after all". Huh? Why would I have to switch my room? I booked four nights. A staff member unfortunately WALKED IN on us while we were sleeping and was very apologetic. There is no "do not disturb" tag to leave outside the door. I will say the staff were all incredible and the best part of the stay. Ultimately, the 400-something per night we paid for this stay was outrageous and not at all worth what we received. Our W South Beach stay, ON THE BEACH with BEACH ACCESS, in a major US city, tons of amenities, was only slightly more per night, which is absolutely ridiculous.

Checkin is the old fashioned way, by paper, and Sebastian and other employee were gracious , helpful and friendly! Coffee, tea and ice available 24/7 in lobby. There is a fridge and micro in the room. I think we are far beyond our motel days ( the walls a little thin and the bed creaky ( but comfy!))... but I think this is a great option in Rockport and we will def rebook here if staying over in town! PS. The new farm to table restaurant in town looked fab. Wished we had seen it before we dined!

There's no one to greet you when you arrive; no one you can go up to and ask a question. No one brings out a tray of cookies and a decanter of wine in the afternoon and, of course, there's no one to cook and serve breakfast. It's a bloodless experience, a little like staying at a haunted house. Our room had a wonderful, complete kitchen--but there isn't a grocery store within walking distance of the inn (we had no car). I gather that some people are okay with this kind of unstaffed arrangement, but it's no for us.

Who rents a king bed with 2 pillows? Should be 4 minimum…read more Came here in fall and it's basically a ghost town. Restaurant closed for the season. Rooms seem relatively clean but received a bottom floor street side room. The view consisted of a crashed Audi wagon with a flat tire. WIFI stopped working after the first night and never came back despite reporting the issue on that morning. It's not a place you want to hang around in, especially with no entertainment and no views. Clean bed, clean shower, expect nothing more.

Location decks and…read moretoilets The Eagle House Motel is a pleasant and quaint little place just a few steps from the center of Rockport. Can't ask for a nicer location, close to be convenient yet still quiet and peaceful. The room we had was on the small side but nicely decorated with a nautical theme and small fridge, microwave and TV. Nothing fancy but just want we wanted. The motel is one of those rambling kind of places with lots of different decks that offer nice views of the town. A pleasant patio is in the back and has a little fountain that adds a rustic feel. The only problems we encountered was that the shower was really small. Probably the smallest shower enclosure I have ever been in. Probably would be tough for a really fleshy type person to get in. Another problem was that the toilet broke the last day we were there. it's obvious the plumbing is old and these things happen. I had to take the top off the tank and pull the chain inside by hand. No real big deal but playing around with toilets isn't one of the things I enjoy while traveling. I didn't see any staff around and we were about to leave so I didn't bother to look for help. This is a lovely and quaint motel, reasonably priced and with a great location. A cool place to stay if you are willing to possibly deal with some mischievous plumbing.
