A perfectly placed little gem!
What a cute little place. Its right at the bend of the river, has a small dock for boats and is walking distance to Woodman's, Dunkins and CK pearl. A perfectly placed little gem!

Great view
Was a great view of the river, the only thing not happy with was no coffee pot in motel room and no ice. Also the shower was so tiny.

Great Old New England Inn
A Great New England style inn. This inn is the typical old fashioned New England type hotel right on an estuary in the beautiful village of Essex. The room was clean and the bed was super comfortable. My reception was was very friendly and helpful. I will, indeed, stay at Shea's again when I go up to the northshore.

Location of property was perfect for our travel plans. Room was very clean, but extremely small. Better fit for a single rather than a couple. Staff was very friendly. Grounds were great for sitting and relaxing by the river.
