The Essex, Culinary Resort & Spa

Great service and great room… special thanks to Adaline for recommending what to eat at the Lazy Goat.. AMAZING food ..

Fast service! Food is excellent and our server is really good she took good care of us!

Mahagani was delightful! Great service.

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.
