Shea's Riverside Inn & Motel0

Wonderful historic home located within walking distance to restaurants and shops. Beautifully appointed room with all amenities . Loved the double shower heads in the modern bathroom. King bed was so comfortable and smelled fabulous. Loved sitting by the gas fireplace with my morning coffee and evening wine. The owner was very helpful. Very good restaurant next door owned by the Inn.

No breakfast. Not many options in the area within walking distance for a simple breakfast. Had to wait until 10 or 11 am for brunch at restaurants close by

The Inn room was a good size and had a lovely shower. The queen bed was very comfortable. The beautiful wide plank floors brought a feel of old century style.

The steps leading up to our room are higher than usual, so I don’t recommend for anyone with knee difficulties. I hope there’s air conditioning in the summer as it was a warm day and opening the windows you could hear the cars on the main road.

This hotel is so adorable. We stayed in the main house, which was built in the 1780s. It had some original features, but was nicely updated. The bathroom was great. The bed was comfortable. The location was far enough away from Salem to allow for quiet nights, but close for a drive or a train ride.

Nothing. I have no complaints.

The beautifully renovated historic inn has lots of charm. It has all the amenities while maintaining the historic feel of the period. The bathroom and shower are luxurious and spacious. Cleanliness is obviously a priority here and much appreciated by this guest.

I initially had a concern that it was situated close to the road, but it was quieter than I anticipated. I bring a white noise machine and I had a restful sleep.

We had two rooms at the Inn, and they were superb. King room on the ground floor occupied by parents had a nice seating area. Queen room upstairs had just one comfy chair. Both were spacious, clean, with mini-fridge, microwave and a huge double (!) shower. Beware of very steep stairs leading to the second floor. Due to COVID, no one barged into your room, which I absolutely loved. In the morning, garbage and used towels placed outside were immediately taken away; and replaced with clean towels in a sealed package outside the door.

Weather was a bit rainy :)

Lovely, large room in the old inn part. Beautiful furnishings, very comfortable bed and lovely shower room. Robes and slipper provided, plus coffee machine. It also had a gas fire in the room which was nice on a chilly evening.

The only negative was the road noise. Situated on the main road traffic was heard from early in the morning til late.

Our room in the Inn building had a great view of the Essex River salt marsh. The room was very clean.

We were happy with everything.

Located next to Essex marshlands. Large historic room with recently renovated bathroom. Comfortable bed.

The room arrangement was somewhat odd in that the refrigerator & microwave were on the other side of the room than the coffee maker. Our room faced the street, which is quite busy into the evening

The location for touring around Cape Ann was terrific. Also, several decent restaurants within walking distance. Enjoyed sitting out by river sipping drinks in the evening. Also, close proximity to beaches.

Poor internet service in the Inn portion of the property.

Beautiful views of the Essex river and Marsh. Comfy bed and Plush bathrobes made our stay cozy!

We would have liked maid service and someone on property during the day. We needed a few things, but staff was not on property except for check in.
