"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!"

"We had a wonderful stay at the Essex Street Inn. We loved the cleanliness of the Inn. The Continental breakfast was just what we needed. Good selection of breakfast choices. Hope the Inn never changes the breakfast choices. Will go back."

"Small, cozy place that was outfitted incredibly well, decorated well with warm, neutral colors, and was extremely comfortable. I will definitely go back to this place if I'm looking to overnight in Newburyport again!!!"

"Clean, quiet, perfect accommodations!"

"The room was very clean and it’s location was great.Everything thing we did in town was a short walk away and convenient"

"We usually stay at a nearby Inn , but it was booked for a wedding. This was perfect. Set on a quiet street that is across from the rail trail and a short walk to the Joppa Flats. A great walk to downtown Newburyport in a historical neighborhood. We shopped, ate at the Grogg, local favorite. The apartment was cozy, clean with all the amenities. My friend and I loved it. Highly recommend "
