First class

Great hotel! Bed extremely comfortable! Nice linens and towels! Hotel is historic so it’s not a contemporary place but has some very nice updates. The pool is salt water and overlooks the ocean. Felt very much like Being at a resort right here in New England. Food that we had was excellent and the stafff are extremely inviting and warm. We will be back

Lovely to sit on deck overlooking green, pool and ocean. So relaxing, stately yet unpretentious. Wonderful breakfast served daily. Bed, pillows, comforter comfortable. Shower perfect. Would love to go back. Scenery is so priceless.

The waterfront view from the hotel porch is amazing. The hotel is very cozy and nice. Unfortunatelly, there's no elevator to access the second or third floors where my room was, so carrying the luggage is a hassle. The room is correct and confortable.

The Emerson was a great place to get away from it all. With that, be aware that there is very little, if any, taxi, Uber, or Lyft access. Other than that, make sure you watch the moonrise as it is spectacular. The provided breakfast was very good and fresh.

We enjoyed everything about this property except the lack of a space for suitcases, any hook or hanger to utilize for a coat or jacket. I realize it is a historic property, but some furniture in the limited square footage could be traded for space for a luggage stand. We don't need the dresser, palm, fancy lamp etc. This space would be better for the practicalities of people traveling. Had to place 1 suitcase under table and 1 on the only place to sit.

Love the ocean setting. There is a public path to the rocks on the ocean where we sat on the rocks - stunning! Also love the French inspired music they play in the common area. We did not get to use the pool due to cool temps and rain but plan to return next summer.
