The Essex Resort & Spa

This was our second visit - our first was 23 years ago for our wedding ceremony (originally the Inn at Essex). The place has grown in many positive respects. Our suite was wonderful and comfortable in the manor house with all of the amenities that you would expect. Room included a full-stocked kitchen area with Keurig, microwave, dishes, silverware, and dishwasher. We loved the gas space heater (on a timer) which added to the charm along with a rocking chair. Room stayed cozy. Comfortable bed. Appreciated the "did you forget anything" sign, which the hotel provided complimentary items (including toothpaste, showercap, etc.). In many respects, we felt that this place provided old-time personal service that many newer hotels are lacking. No skimping on daily room cleaning, restocking supplies or providing fresh towels. Celebrating our anniversary, the staff was kind enough to provide not one, but two (!) days worth of champagne and treats (cheese/crackers/chocolate). I can't express how nice the staff were - shout out to Olivia and the gentleman helping us at the front counter. We didn't get to experience the spa or the pool, but the the Lazy Goat Tavern serves a wonderful breakfast. Love the waffles and eggs benedict. Thank you for making our anniversary special and memorable. We look forward to returning.

Fantastic birthday party outing with L.B. as our bartendresse.

Went there to celebrate our 50th anniversary. Lovely resort. Exceptional massages. Great learning experience at the culinary school where we took 2 classes with Donna. Delightful experience!

Essex Resort and Spa is a place to rest and recharge. The amenities are perfect. The property is beautiful. The service is wonderful. We loved everything! You will be sorry to leave.

We went to the Spa @ Essex the day B4 Mother’s Day as a family to relax and recharge. I had a facial with Baylee. After addressing my needs and concerns she came up with a facial perfectly designed for me. Baylee was friendly and professional. Her touch on my face was comforting and soothing. The room and table were very comfortable. Loved the warm cream and oil on my hands, arms and shoulders (complete w/warming mitts). Also did an Enhancement of hot oil scalp treatment. Looking forward to returning to the Spa and having Baylee as my facialist. Great Job!
