Hotel berhampiran Winnekenni Castle, Haverhill

I had a very wonderful experience at the Hampton inn in Haverhill. The atmosphere is so relaxed, and it's very clean, and the service was just outstanding! I am both deaf and have difficulty with my legs, and everybody was so helpful to me. It was wonderful to take a bath in the handicapped accessible bathtub! I haven't been able to take a real bath in years! I will be sure to bring my bath salts the next time around, LOL! And the breakfast was to die for, waffles, omelets, fresh fruit, and the coffee was perfect. I have never had a bad experience at a Hampton inn, but this was an exceptional stay. I just became a Hilton rewards client, and I plan to be staying at Hampton inns a lot in the next year as I travel. Thank you so much for the service you provided.

Very nice hotel, warm room. Clean. Great breakfast. Nice stuff.

We were only staying one night so this is the type of hotel we like. Plus, being Marriott Bonvoy members, we were given a room on a high floor away from the elevator. Yay. Check-in was seamless. We were in our suite style room in minutes. I like the expanded space this hotel offers with a desk/kitchenette area separate from the sleeping area. Our room looked out over the wooded area at the back of the hotel but given this hotel's location at the end of the road, I don't think there would be much noise either way. The breakfast area was a little crowded by the way the food is set up in an alcove. But nothing that can't be overcome with a little patience. They offered the standard far of scrambled eggs, sausage patties and waffles. Given our limited time, this was the perfect stop. Would be happy to return.

This is my second time staying here, and it was just as pleasant as the first time. A comfortable room, everything works beautifully, plenty of outlets, and USB ports for recharging devices, and a super friendly staff. They were quite helpful in every regard, with a fast check in and check out. They were also spot on when I asked for a recommended restaurant for dinner. I went to Loretta’s, and it was great! The complimentary breakfast is also a great way to start my day. Will always be coming back to the Essex Street Inn when I visit Newburyport.

Quick summary: very comfortable rooms. Very good housekeeping. Friendly, professional staff. To note: my review is based on what I expect of this tier of hotel, i.e. NOT a five-star, but not the price, either. When I see people complaining that there are plastic utensils at the FREE breakfast in COVID times, I have to shake my head. We stayed here while in town for a wedding. Room 311 has two very comfortable queen beds and very good down-like pillows (maybe they are?) All the usuals I expect of this tier of good-value hotels: coffee/tea maker, iron/board, microwave and fridge, good desk and big workspace, closet with a nice big mirror on it, etc. Good number of places to plug in your devices. Complimentary wifi and HVAC worked well. Our bathroom had a roomy walk-in shower; other rooms have a tub/shower combination (sigh - I love a bathtub after a long day.) Neutrogena toiletries: shampoo, conditioner, body lotion. LOVED that you could turn on the light without the vent automatically coming on - less headache when you're just putting on makeup. Nice buffet breakfast of hot and cold items, eggs, meat, cereals, fruit, juices, etc. Again, I don't understand why some reviewers complain that they are not getting a breakfast like at the 5-star hotels -- this is a very decent breakfast at this price point. Friendly, helpful, professional staff throughout. Excellent housekeeping. Due diligence on some very minor gripes: There were no washcloths in the bathroom (fine by me - my roommate cousin noticed.) She also asked that the hand sanitizer on our floor be refilled (it was empty) on a Friday; still wasn't filled on Sunday when we checked out. My little gripe is just noticing how some hotels try to cut costs yet still deliver the basics. The chest of drawers in the cabinet is a stack of baskets, i.e. small items will fall through the wires. Again, a minor gripe, but retrieving small items that fall through to the bottom is a bit annoying. The location is good - a short drive from the I-95, good for touring the north-of-Boston area of Newburyport, etc. To sum: we'd be happy to stay here if we are in the area again.
