Hotels near Waterfront Promenade Park

"Essex Street Inn is a wonderful place. It is conveniently located in the heart of Newburyport, close to many wonderful restaurants and shops. I liked that the Inn is an historic home refitted into an inn. The bed was comfortable and the room was plenty big enough for our needs (we stayed for one night in order to visit the Parker River NWR on Plum Island). The breakfast in the morning was perfect as they had plenty of stuff for a quick grab and go. The staff was very helpful and the room and facilities were very clean and well maintained."

"Before I even arrived, I received a “goodbye” email — not exactly a welcoming start. Check‑in isn’t allowed until 4pm, yet the lobby closes at 5pm, which is incredibly inconvenient and not customer‑oriented. I didn’t meet a single staff member during my entire stay. The room had multiple issues from the moment I walked in. The towels appeared dirty, and what looked like blood stains on one of the pillows was completely unacceptable. The thermostat was set to 68°, yet the room climbed to 85° overnight, making it nearly impossible to sleep. On top of that, a bright exterior light outside my windows made the room feel like daytime all night, even with the blinds closed. Basic amenities were missing — shampoo was provided, but no conditioner. The property sits directly next to a bar, and my window faced the bar’s parking lot, so I had noise, headlights, and zero privacy. The TV didn’t work either. It was unplugged when I arrived, and once I plugged it in, it couldn’t update and had no network settings available. Between the lack of staff presence, the restrictive check‑in window, the noise, the heat, the bright lights, the dirty linens, missing essentials, and broken amenities, this was a very disappointing experience. I would never stay here again."

"Great!"
