Very clean and spacious bedroom and bathroom. It was our first time here. Super friendly and helpful staff. Rowley was calm and peaceful compared to the hectic pace of Rockport or Newburyport but we were still an easy drive to Plum Island beaches and restaurants/sites in all these places. We will book it again.

A very nice, clean property with nice amenities. There is a very nice outdoor pool. The property also has a nice spa and restaurant. We ate at the restaurant which had a nice atmosphere. The music was just a bit loud. My husband thoroughly enjoyed his dinner. My watermelon salad was delicious, but my clam spaghetti was way too salty. This property is not within walking distance to too much, but is within 15 mis of driving into Newburyport. We did play pickleball at the local tennis club.

Very clean, beautiful place, very well decorated and quiet. Our room had no desk or much place to sit. The Hulu tv system his really not user friendly to be polite. The day staff was great but the Gen Z clerk at our arrival (23 june) was interested only in his I phone/music and very poor in the helping departement. Not really any place to eat except outside and the breakfast is really lame…cheap pastry. Good for a couple but not a family. Over crowded lobby is not efficient in the morning. The restaurant was closed.
