Inn by the Sea

This stay was okay. I don't think I would complain, but I also wouldn't go there again. I am glad we got to use the Habitat for Humanity promotion and only paid half price. I think if I had paid full price I would have been pretty upset. Not because it was bad, but because it was unremarkable. Even half price the cost was double what we would have paid for a two bedroom suite at the residence inn. I would say that the decor was much nicer than the residence inn, but there was only one bathroom in the two bedroom suite which was surprising and inconvenient. Usually when we get a two bedroom suite at the Residence Inn it has two bathrooms and still has a full kitchen and living room. The location was top notch. I don't think there could have been a better location. The staff were mediocre. There was one waitress that was absolutely phenomenal in the whole place. The amenities were okay. They have a very small steam shower in the Spa area, but they close it very early so the late night steam isn't going to happen. My husband and I booked a very expensive spa treatment. It was decent. I feel like it was pretty good value for the money, but there weren't a lot of details there that spoke to the type of Resort that they are trying to portray themselves as. For instance they have water and tea available in the spa, but in most of the nicer spas in Boston when you stay they bring you champagne before your treatment or after. Generally there's sparkling or bottled water available, but this Spa didn't have either of those things. It was very small and unremarkable. The gym was also small and not very useful. I much prefer the gyms at other hotels. I would say this Resort is more like a three-star hotel and the pricing should be half of what they charge at best. They certainly shouldn't be charging as much as they do considering the amenities. If you're going to pay $1,000 a night I think it's reasonable to expect certain amenities like a bottle of wine in my room or turn down service or laundry service. Overall this day was fine. I don't know that I have a lot of complaints other than the flashing smoke detector in our bedroom and the very noisy air conditioning unit. They do allow dogs, and it's highly encouraged so that's probably nice for some dog owners, but there were some fairly ill behaved dogs in the lounge area which was a bit of a turnoff when you hear whining, panting and barking while trying to enjoy a cocktail. So just small things that weren't very disruptive, but certainly weren't worth $1,000 a night. As far as atmosphere, the hotel is more like a mom and pop cabin feel. Certainly nicer bathrooms than a lot of places, but pretty on par with a Hyatt place, if a little dated

I'm a repeat customer. I first visited Inn by the Sea in September 2025 and loved it so much I was back again by March 2026. This property manages to feel both incredibly high-end and wonderfully welcoming. The Location & Value The location right on the coast is absolutely amazing. You get that perfect salt-air atmosphere without it feeling overly crowded. Given the prime coastal real estate and the level of service provided, I found the rooms to represent excellent value for money. It’s rare to find a place that feels this premium while still feeling like a smart investment for a vacation. The Suites: Spotless & Scenic I’ve stayed in two different room types, and the common thread was that both rooms were impeccably clean. The Beach Suite (September): The views are breathtaking, but the soaking tub is the real winner here. It’s the ultimate way to end a day. The Garden Suite (March): I loved this layout just as much. It felt private, cozy, and well maintained. Dining: A Win for Allergy-Sufferers The hotel restaurant is EXCELLENT. As someone who has to navigate food allergies, I was so impressed by how well the staff accommodated my needs. I felt completely safe and the quality of the food was top-tier. Even the room service was amazing. Expert Event Management I was initially worried that staying during a weekend with weddings or events might be a noise issue. However, the hotel does an AMAZING job at managing events for their other guests. Upon check-in, I was immediately alerted that my room was near an event space. They had a very reasonable noise curfew in place and, true to their word, the music stopped shortly before that curfew. It’s clear they respect the experience of every guest on the property. Dog-Friendly & Community Vibes The dog-friendly nature of the hotel is such a highlight. It creates a warm, relaxed environment that you just don't find at more "stuffy" resorts. During my stays, I talked with several other guests who return year-after-year, and after my two visits, I can see why. Bottom Line: Whether it’s your first time or your tenth, this place delivers. Clean rooms, proactive management, and a stunning location. I can't wait to go back! Pros: Cleanliness, allergy-aware dining, great value, dog-friendly. Cons: None—a perfect stay twice over!

very satisfied with the value of this resort. room was big and clean. just steps away from the beach. staff was great and bonus points for the ev chargers!

Beautiful room and property! I was here for business but couldn’t wait to get back to the spacious room and beautiful views.

The staff is the best of the best. In particular, Heidi and Catherine who called my children by their names and made them feel special.
