Our group of 20 had an enjoyable stay at this property. My family of four will definitely be back. The highlight was the pool for our group of 13 kids. They stayed til close every night! It was a short outdoor walk from our room and I think running in swimsuits in the snow made it exciting for them. (I’d advise requesting a room in the connected part if that bothers you- our kids thought it was fun.) The pool room is massive and the parents enjoyed hanging out together while the kids swam.
My room was pretty soundproof. I slept well. The hotel is clean. Breakfast is a little more than the usual continental, with bagels and English muffins in addition to packaged baked goods.
The location is excellent. It’s a 30 minute drive to Salem, a ten minute drive to Gloucester and a couple mins to Bearskin Neck.
My only critique is about towels. With teen girls swimming every day, we went through lots of towels. I had to go to the desk every day to get pool towels and room towels, and return or bag up our used towels each morning because there was no housekeeping service on at least one of the days we were there. I don’t care if my bed is made, but I do like the trash taken out and towels replaced. I would stay again and I offer grace because it’s understandable to be short staffed in the off season. It was a minor inconvenience during an overall nice trip- not a dealbreaker for me.
Staff was friendly and accommodating. I hope this inn is around for years to come! We’ll be back!
