50th Birthday Trip

Our stay was amazing. The views were incredibel. The food was fantastic. We loved having windows facing the ocean and leaving them open at night. This was my 50th birthday trip and we are definitely planning to return!

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.

The property is quite dated and could use an infusion of capital. No one at the front desk after 9pm. Room was very tiny. We were admonished for making our reservation via expedia and not direct. Room was not made up and given fresh towels after the first night because we didn't find the card in the closet to hang on the door!

Property is “ tired”. Old- 150 year old inn and trying for a 1920s style that is really stretching it. What food is offered is average or below. Old mattress- just adequate room- peeked off paint BuT lovely views. Would not go back but an ok stay. The proximity to ocean the calling card!

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.

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.
