"My stay at the Marriott in Peabody was decent, with clean facilities and friendly staff. However, the bathroom needs attention, as the tub had etched markings, the showerhead was scaled over, and there was a split in the wall near the tub. While the highway location made it a bit noisy, it didn't impact our overall experience too much."

Ocean House Hotel at Bass Rocks

10/10 Excellent
"The room was wonderful- clean and had a deck right off of our slider & we were steps away from a beautiful pool and hot tub. The staff were friendly and helpful. The views of the water crashing on the rocks were amazing and there were chairs set up to sit and enjoy. There was a firepit and they served cookies and coffee in the afternoon & cheese and wine in the early evening. There was a nice breakfast in the morning serving spinach and feta or ham and cheese hot croissants, fruit and bagels and eggs. I would rate our experience a 10 out of 10. Will definitely come again."
