Great hotel! Bed extremely comfortable! Nice linens and towels! Hotel is historic so it’s not a contemporary place but has some very nice updates. The pool is salt water and overlooks the ocean. Felt very much like Being at a resort right here in New England. Food that we had was excellent and the stafff are extremely inviting and warm. We will be back

The waterfront view from the hotel porch is amazing. The hotel is very cozy and nice. Unfortunatelly, there's no elevator to access the second or third floors where my room was, so carrying the luggage is a hassle. The room is correct and confortable.

The Emerson was a great place to get away from it all. With that, be aware that there is very little, if any, taxi, Uber, or Lyft access. Other than that, make sure you watch the moonrise as it is spectacular. The provided breakfast was very good and fresh.

Love the ocean setting. There is a public path to the rocks on the ocean where we sat on the rocks - stunning! Also love the French inspired music they play in the common area. We did not get to use the pool due to cool temps and rain but plan to return next summer.
