Beautiful but tired hotel

.Beautiful boutique hotel in historic Marblehead has all the makings of a noteworthy stay I really wanted to love this place but the old building is showing its age. Pealing paint above the shower, towel bars barely hanging on the wall and blinds that can’t be raised. I would give it 3.5 stars.

This property is not worth the price at 600$ a night for a king size rm. It has none of the charm you would expect at an older property...Our room was very basic with a random mixture of furnishings and a toilet that ran after flushing. Would not recommend this hotel at these rates.

The Hotel Marblehead was a spot we chose to be both close to local beaches as well as the airport. Our stay was short but we were made to feel at home. The neighborhood is beautiful and quiet. I’m just guessing but this whole area must be a sweet taste of life in coastal Massachusetts.

A very quaint and pretty property and area. Room was small but comfortable. Amenities could improve such as having hangers for the closet, WiFi info at check-in, and better coffee arrangement for early morning.

The staff was helpful and responsive through texts but in person not very friendly or present. The house was cool but we had a broken rusted shower rod almost unusable sink and the fruit for the very small breakfast was molded.
