Balcony off room and personal jet tub are highlights of this easy to access location with genuinely friendly staff. Having the option for a less expensive, low frills stay that is still more upscale than basic modern hotels is a gift when looking for a last minute weekend getaway. This place can deliver on that in both access to the water and the facilities on site.

Very cute and clean resort. Not a whole lot to do this time of year though. The beds are not as comfortable however and pillow was flat as a pancake. Breakfast was ok. Very loud stomping from people above us. Other than that, we enjoyed our stay

Nothing on website said pools where closed after Labor Day. Was told because we booked thru travel agent we could not have balcony room so we looked out the window to a wall. An extra charge for 94 dollars was changed at time of checkin. No refrigerator or micro wave. Toilet dirty, looked like blood spots on bathroom door. We left before 11 o'clock after second night but was charged for three nights. Would never recommend this place to anyone.

Well kept. Two pools a play area for kids and a small beach. Spacious outdoor lawn areas and a great peer and dock to enjoy. Marblehead is close by for shopping or a ferry ride to the islands. Great place for families!

Grounds are great. Rooms are awful.
Grounds are great which is what supports the two stars overall. The rooms in the hotel are dated, extremely musty, and the pillows are super thin and limited. Approached the manager (or owner?), Chris, regarding the musty smell and he was incredibly dismissive and disrespectful. Will not return.
