Safety Bar - 1 out of 3 screws!

This visit started off really badly even before it began. After booking in March, I received an email 3 days prior to arrival, letting me know that they were "finishing" their renovations. There was no indication at the time of booking that any renovation was going on. If there were, I would have booked elsewhere. I responded to that email and asked why there was no prior notice given - and to no surprise, I received no response. Well, there was no front door, no lobby, and a temporary entrance in the back of the building, surrounded by dumpsters and construction trailers. Not the most aesthetic experience, but whatever. (Mind you, all the parking is, logically, in FRONT of the building). We checked in, and the front desk person said "we have no lobby, but all our rooms are completely renovated." I thought, cool, I don't sleep in the lobby anyway. We entered what I thought was a reasonably clean room, but that changed once I looked deeper. It was about 50 degrees in the room so I quickly turned up the AC. I went to set up the iron, and when I moved the iron, there was about 10 years of dust surrounding it in it's location. I picked up the ironing board, and it literally disintegrated in my hands. The escutcheon around the showerhead was not attached to the wall, and loaded with rust and crud. The escutcheon on the safety rail in the shower was also not attached, revealing that the safety rail was also only connected to the wall with ONE screw, leaving two holes empty - and the screws weren't just missing - they were never installed, as there was no hole in the tile - can't wait until someone who NEEDS this rail tries to use it. The showerhead was clogged with years of scale and rust, causing the water to dribble out in every direction except at your body. The refillable shower amenity pumps were also empty. There were various spots of mold and grossness scattered around the bathroom too. When I left for the evening, I mentioned these items to the front desk. I returned to the room in the exact same condition. That evening in bed, the room was dreadfully warm. I set the AC back down to 70, nothing happened. I turned it down to 65, nothing happened. Apparently because it was set so low before my arrival, it was frozen. So no AC on the first night! I did go on the app and request that the shower amenities be refilled, and those were filled the next day.... but nothing else was touched. When I checked in, I was asked if I wanted daily housekeeping service. I said "yes" and did not receive any. When I inquired the next day, I was told "housekeeping is only on request." I said I did request it, and then I was promptly told "oh, it's only every two days." I'm fine with that, but was not informed, and as such, had tossed all our towels on the floor. I asked if I could get new towels, and was told yes, and that was done while I was out. So someone went to my room, but still ignored ALL the other things I reported. Day 2, the AC barely dribbled out, so it became clear why it was set at 50 when we checked in. I did the same, and we got a little cool air before it froze again and remained dead for the rest of the stay. Breakfast on the first morning was pretty good, and the male breakfast attendant was on point, keeping everything full and very clean. Mornings 2 and 3, with the female breakfast attendant, everything was empty, and the place looked like a bomb went off. I took the last HALF of a bagel left in the case, and I asked the woman if she had any more cream cheese. She sneered at me without responding and walked away. She came back a few minutes later and slammed a box on cream cheese cups on the counter, literally threw a handful into the bowl, and slammed the box into a cabinet below the counter. It's pretty evident she was not having a fantastic day. Since we had to use the rear door to enter the buidling, it's worth pointing out that there is a door on the side of the building, a bit closer to the parking area. It has a sign that says "Please use room key for entry" but this door did not work for the duration of our stay.. FORCING you to walk ALL the way around the building each time. Fortunately for my travel purposes, I didn't need to spend a whole lot of time in this building. If I did, I would be far angrier than I already am, considering the prices they are charging for this dumpy property. They have made a minimal investment in this hotel so that they can say they are "newly renovated" when in fact it's still a dump once you overlook the new carpeting in the hallway. Super disappointed, and definitely not worth the money nor the points I redeemed to stay here.

Breakfast time!!!

This Marriot was very accommodating and welcoming. The rooms were very cleanly and well kept by housekeeping and tidy. The breakfast was wonderful the staff running it was on top of refilling and replenishing the food and drinks and all forms of sustenance available for hungry guests. The coffee was very good and the children loved the hot cocoa at night. The beds were super comfortable and our whole group had a wonderful stay. We enjoyed our time at this hotel when We weren't out seeing attractions and doing things locally.

I like this hotel. Easy on off for 495 and 95. Our room was clean and well stocked. King bed was so comfortable and the room was quiet even with the window open all night. Great coffee in the lobby and crisp fresh apples for the taking. An hour north of Gillette and great rates.

Smoke detector taped up in our room. Pretty sure that's a felony...

See all

The drive to Plumb Island through Newburyport was the perfect introduction to our romantic, north shore getaway. Being from Phoenix, we look forward to our cold, winter adventure each year and neither of us had been anywhere north of Boston before. Before our arrival, communication with the Blue was informative and hand a personal feel. Obviously, the Blue caters to summer beach-goers, and the reserved parking area near the hotel would definitely be a huge plus for folks competing for parking spots, but in winter, there are very few people or cars on the entire island. The Blue is a quaint little hotel nestled on the beach in a neighborhood of New England beach homes. We were happily greeted at the front desk by Blue staff and the General Manager. They tendered to our every need and surprised us with a fabulous fruit and chocolate anniversary gift waiting for us in the room. The room was beautiful with a classic and modern beach feel. Sliding glass doors open up to a wooden deck with a fabulous view of the Atlantic Ocean. We could hear the crashing waves while sitting inside beside the gas fireplace to read. It was magical! Also magical was the bed! We haven't slept that well in years! The bed was so comfortable and my wife loved the pillows so much that she bought the very same ones for home the day we returned. And don't forget the two hot tubs! There is nothing quite as enjoyable as relaxing in a steaming, bubbling hot tub while it's snowing all around you. Honestly, the "hot tubs available" filter was probably what highlighted the Blue to me during my search for this trip. One hot tub is on the second floor deck, overlooking the beach and the second is hidden under the pine trees at the end of a short sidewalk across the street from the main building. Both were large enough for probably 6 people, clean and well maintained. Again, it was February so we had them all to our crazy selves the whole week. The beach is beautiful! There is direct, private access from the second floor of the Blue, via a wooden boardwalk. The beach is sandy with very few rocks. I didn't see any seaweed or anything washing up on shore, but it was February, so I didn't expect to see a whole lot of anything living coming out of the water. Every morning we enjoyed a beautiful sunrise over the ocean while we drank some local coffee delivered direct to the room. Oh yeah, breakfast! Each morning the staff dropped off and adorable wicker basket with fresh, local breakfast offerings plus that wonderful carafe of coffee. We had different breakfast each day, to include quiche, overnight oats, fresh fruit, biscuits, and bacon. Just the right amount for the two of us and we couldn't wait to see what breakfast surprise would arrive each morning. Although Plumb Island may feel remote from the business of the Boston-metro area, the location was great for dipping down to Salem without hitting any traffic, or popping up to New Hampshire for a sleighride through the forest. One morning, after a small nor'easter blew through, our SUV got stuck in the parking lot snow. No worries! The General Manager of the Blue came out to hail down a plow and personally helped push us out. Now that's service! Overall, I would wholeheartedly recommend the Blue -Inn on the Beach to anyone looking for a romantic beach getaway. If you're looking for a less Metropolitan vacation with the proximity to get to Boston in under an hour, the Blue can't be beat. We will definitely be coming back. Maybe even in the summer next time!

This is a wonderful New England inn in a perfect location when visiting Newburyport…read more , From their website: The Essex Street Inn was originally built as the "Lucky Livery Stable" in the early 1800's. In 1880, the stable was razed, and in its place, the present Essex Street Inn was built in a conservative version of the style known as Victorian eclectic. To set expectations, the rooms are cozy. The suites are larger, but since we were only here for one night, we opted for a standard room. Luckily, we were on the first floor, as there are no elevators and steep stairs. They do have a parking lot, which is key during the high season. Our room was very comfortable, and our bed was perfectly plush. There is a K-Cup coffee maker and cable TV in the room. Breakfast is OK and should satisfy most. There is a Starbucks a short walk away and plenty of other coffee shops and breakfast venues in the area. The location is perfect, on a side street, walking distance from shopping, bars, and restaurants. Plum Island is also a short ride away.

A bad nor'easter was forecast with AAA warning against driving and some east coast governors warning against being on the roads. I'm 69 and a lung cancer survivor so I tend to err on the side of safety. I emailed the Inn and asked if my booking could be transferred to the Tuesday of the following week, or the Monday of the week after that. I still work so my bookings depend on when I have time, and too, I was careful to keep it near a similar day to what I had booked. Even though it is low season I wanted to be sure to not inconvenience the Inn. I was met with arrogance and a "sure everyone wants good weather" response, which was flabbergasting. They suggested I come the following day - still high winds and lashing rain - and if not I would forfeit the money I paid close to $400. I was stupefied by their response and will ensure that I warn everyone of this place of bad manners and poor business nous.

The real special times are before and after the estate opens for the day, because you really feel like you have the place to yourself. I walked up to the mansion for sunset, and it was stunning! They can also help get you booked on guided house or kayak tours, and you get free access to Crane Beach with towels and tote bags!

Even better, you're adjacent to the Casino Ballroom. It was cool to check out the tour buses arriving as we walked to breakfast. We stayed here for a show and it was convenient to be so close. Every interaction with the staff was helpful and pleasant - phone calls to in person! The price is on par with other spots in the area but here you get a parking spot, pool, and everything is clean and new. Over $550 for two nights is still outrageous, but that is life in 2022. Comfortable bed alert!! Both my husband and I had very restful sleeps (I'm a stomach sleeper and slept awesome!) The rooms were just was we needed although it would have been nice to have a small table and chairs in the room. There's a perfect space by the window in the room for that. 2 night minimum stay...so we made a beach weekend out of our concert night. We left saying, "if we ever come back let's stay here again".
