I had…read morea wonderful time - I thought that the lock system that does not require keys was very clever (I don't know if I can mention it in detail, so I will keep my description this way) - it allows the guests to enter whenever they want. I flew in late to Boston so I entered the house really late, but there was no problem! At the Morrison House, I stayed at the Little Room - it was very cozy and cute, perfect size for a young girl like myself. The bed was nice and I slept very well. It was also nice to have a heating system that I can adjust perfectly. I shared a bathroom with the guests in the Davis Room, which was no problem because I shower at night and no one else did. The bathroom was kept very clean and, also very cute. I also liked how the guests have chance to meet each other when they all come down for breakfast between 8-9 am. Since I mostly get to talk with people of my age back in school, it was a refreshing feeling to get to know older couples, etc. The Morrison House is in a perfect little college town too. I got to enjoy some great foods, including the hamburger shop that was introduced in Diners, Drive-ins and Dives, one of my favorite TV show! :D The fee was also reasonable, so I would like to give Morrison House a five-star! I would definitely come back if there is an occasion.

Beautiful Historic Inn! Interesting architecture and very well maintained. Very friendly and…read morehelpful staff! I would highly recommend Hotel Marblehead for a short stay vs a long stay. We were here for a week. The rooms are very small, remember this is a historic inn, not a modern hotel! We had a King Suite, which is basically two small rooms adjoined. The bedroom and bathroom are very small. The closest is very small. For a short stay, no problem, but for a longer stay fitting in suitcases (with very little room to hang clothes) was difficult. Small bathroom so most of those items we stored in the bedroom. The bed was very comfy and we both slept very well! Room was very clean and up to date. It is an older Inn and there are only stairs, no elevator. We had a room up on the third floor. Walking up and down, not a problem but getting our luggage up and down, that was a workout! The living area had a table for two and a couch. The couch was extremely uncomfortable to sit on. Guessing it is a sleeper sofa (not sure why you would want to have more people in this small space), the cushions would sink and the bar went right into the backs on your legs. It was comfortable to lay down on, just not sit on! My husband took a few naps on it! The Kitchenette was only stocked with mugs and supplies, for the coffee machine (just like downstairs in the breakfast room). No wine glasses. No plates. No utensils. When we stay a week we are often taking out a few meals back to our room or enjoying sone wine with cheeses/crackers. Made it more difficult but we worked around. The continental breakfast was very good but repeated itself, again a short stay it is perfect. A longer stay like ours we went out most mornings for breakfast. It's a short drive (not walk) to town with some fun shopping and lots of places to eat. We enjoying eating and shopping around Marblehead. In nice weather, I believe they have bikes, so definitely a short ride on a bike! There is a nice common area for eating breakfast and also would be a nice place to relax and read a book. There are also a nice outside area, however, we were there during rain. Unfortunately, no alcohol is allowed in the common areas. It would have been nice to enjoy a glass of wine on our own or when our friends came up to join us (long drive for them). All in all it was a great stay and I based selecting Hotel Marblehead on the many positive reviews. I sure most of those were short stays and during our stay, only one other couple was there more than a few nights.

I'm just happy to have gotten to stay here. C booked it for our first night in Boston. I had no idea what to expect, or where in the world we were staying, but was pleasantly surprised by the digs when we got there. We do some unique traveling. Mainly in the way that we actually take trips. We leave town with only the first night stay booked and wing it from there. We do this for spontaneity, to always keep things fresh and new, and to avoid losing money in some cases because of flight delays or changed plans. This last trip was a nine day haul around the Northeast Coast. This one was great and I have lots to share, so buckle up! ;) Night one: Excellent check in. Easy valet experience as you can just leave your vehicle on the curb and they come get it later at some point. Martha Stewart's flunky designed the place, but don't hold that against them. It's quite comfy and cozy. I loved the room accommodations. The glass box overlooking the busy Cambridge City street is really cool. The windows even open so that you can get some fresh air in the room or even purge some "compromised" room air out if needed. I wanted to sleep with the window open but the city was too loud for me to endure while sleeping. Shower is nice but all of the bars are deceiving. I thought that we may have a multiple shower head experience, it was only a dual head junt.... All of the bars are just to let the things slide around. It's nice though. It's a bit quirky with only one ice machine in the basement and none on each floor. But down in the basement is a plethora of oddities and things to look at. There is a great conference room that you can rent and shit yourself in if you want. They have a good coffee maker down there too. No free breakfast. That's ok though. Come have a stay. You won't be left disappointed I believe. Staff were super courteous to us. We left something in the car after we valet, and they went and retrieved it for us with no gripes at all. Came and stay a while.... You will be pleased. '25 - 111/111

We decided to come to Salem on a whim in August so finding something available the 3rd weekend in…read moreOctober actually in Salem was like winning the lottery for us. The price was decent and the reviews were great. My fiance called multiple times to confirm certain details but those calls were never returned. We arrived a few hours prior to check-in (one of his calls had been about early arrival luggage storage). Flora's daughter greeted us and helped us store our luggage so we could get some food and walk around Salem. They did not have an available bathroom for use aside from the porta potty in the driveway, which we were told is the norm for Salem anyway. That was the one and only time I had to use a porta potty, thankfully, and it was clean. Once our room was ready, we were given a code to open the key lockbox and told we were on the 3rd floor. We entered the house and took the narrow high stairs all the way up to find 2 rooms... neither of which are numbered. We chose correctly the first time and started to get settled. The ceilings are super low (we are very tall humans), a queen sized bed with 1 side table, a sofa with a side table, a dresser with a TV, a dinette for 2, an ottoman, a non-working fireplace, and a very large bathroom. The bed was comfy enough and we eventually figured out how to turn the heat on. The water pressure in the shower was fantastic and the temp was perfect. The first day we arrived it rained like crazy nonstop. We were completely soaked through. They do not offer use of their clothes dryer so we were relegated to using a small house fan to dry our clothes out. The next morning we couldn't figure out exactly what we were supposed to do for breakfast because the book in the room has conflicting info - either show up during these hours for hot food or text. The first morning there was the most delicious frittata I have E V E R had. There is also a selection of all kinds of other quick breakfast items. Our last morning we went down during the set hours, but there was no breakfast so we text asking for hot breakfast. Flora ran to the kitchen to scramble eggs and cook sausage (we weren't given an option - she just cooked). The eggs were great but the sausage was still frozen so that was a bummer. She seemed put out by having to make us breakfast, which I thought was the whole premise of a bed and breakfast. And for what they charge, I definitely expected a bit more hospitality. The location of Northey Street House is wonderful. It's a quick walk to Salem Common and everything you need or want to do in town. If I had to do it again, though, I'd pick somewhere else that feels a little more homey. Otherwise we could have just stayed in a hotel with more creature comforts.

The following morning, we enjoyed a home cooked breakfast of scrambled eggs and three egg omelet with tons of healthy spinach! Conversation with other guests around the table, that had place settings for six, was enjoyable. Access to restaurants and tourist attractions were within 12-15-minute walk.

Comfortable bed, two chairs, side table, hutch as a closet, wet bar with microwave, small refrig w/frz & coffee maker, The Bathroom & shower with seat is great. The houseboat was exceptionally clean with all components in good working order. Amenities provided was impressive: Peets Coffee, teas, creamer, yogurt, juices, water and breakfast pastries. Jon offered to refill anything I might need. Wifi worked great, wall mounted TV with Roku, thermostatically controlled AC unit and base board manually controlled heat. Green Turtle location is AMAZING, berthed on the last dock in the Charleston Marina with sweeping views in every direction. The Marina is within walking distance to ferries, shuttles and services. The Marina houses many high-end yachts. It should be noted, the houseboat is anchored on a two-sided dock. When the other side of the dock is occupied, it impedes the panoramic view. Regardless, the view at in every direction was lovely and I enjoyed seeing the neighbor yacht up close. I highly recommend the Green Turtle!
