The Wylie Inn and Conference Center at Endicott College

Beverly

10/10 Exceptional

The room was clean and comfortable. The staff friendly and helpful. There were two things I really liked. The first was that there is a quiet time between 11:00 pm and 7:00 am. We've all stayed in hotels where there is a loud party going on in the room next door. The second was the ability to cast from your personal device to the TV, so you have access to every streaming service you pay for.. a very nice feature. I would definitely stay again.

In town to visit family, so we come to the area several times/year and have stayed a a number of hotels. Our stay at the Beverly was great. Room was clean, large and comfortable. Check-in easy and despite no physical staff on site their staff communicated well via text before, during and after our stay. Convenient location, close to Salem, Gloucester and Rockport. Highly recommend and we will definitely stay here again.

Silsbee's by Daniels House

Salem

10/10 Exceptional

The Silsbee House was conveniently located to most things we wanted to do in Salem. It was also fantastically clean! We stayed in the Rajah room and it was beautiful. The bed was also very comfortable. I appreciated the attention to detail. I also loved that Beekman 1802 products were in the shower. I have sensitive skin and their products don't irritate me. The only thing that would made it more comfortable would have been a place to put my soap bar in the shower and a place to lay out my...

The Vista

East Gloucester

10/10 Exceptional

I wasn't expecting much when I booked with Vista, but as soon as I got there I was impressed. The staff was friendly and made you feel welcome and took the time to explain everything you needed to know while staying there. Our room was a little dated, but it was spacious, and very clean! I love to travel and I have to say it was one of the cleanest places I've stayed at. When I booked I was concerned about the view I would be getting based off of others reviews...but I was pleasantly surprised...

Daniels House Inn

Salem

10/10 Exceptional

The Daniels House was a beautiful place to stay. When my sister and I arrived, they had everything ready for us, including fresh flowers and a birthday balloon to celebrate my sister's birthday. Everything was clean and beautiful and could not have been a better experience. Before leaving, Vijay gave us an amazing tour through the home and was extremely knowledgeable about the history of not only the home, but of Salem and the 17th century.

Castle Manor Inn

Gloucester

10/10 Exceptional

My husband and I recently stayed here and had a fantastic time. The property is beautiful and the Inn is so inviting! We have never stayed in this type of Inn before and we were pleasantly surprised how comfortable and relaxed we felt in a home-like setting such as this. The room was great and we had a gorgeous view of trees, a pond, and the incredible skyline of Massachusetts. We are used to pretty sunsets and sunrises in Southern California, but we do not have the fall trees that make these...

Briar Barn Inn

Rowley

10/10 Exceptional

Great staff, beautiful aesthetic and charming. We happened upon the Briar Barn looking for a quaint place to sleep for the night. This place was beyond our expectations and we are already planning another visit, with friends, to stay and see the sights of the area. We are New Yorkers and were so impressed by they service, the cleanliness, the vibe, the amenities and the space. We will come back and recommend to others.
