Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The property is quite dated and could use an infusion of capital. No one at the front desk after 9pm. Room was very tiny. We were admonished for making our reservation via expedia and not direct. Room was not made up and given fresh towels after the first night because we didn't find the card in the closet to hang on the door!

Property is “ tired”. Old- 150 year old inn and trying for a 1920s style that is really stretching it. What food is offered is average or below. Old mattress- just adequate room- peeked off paint BuT lovely views. Would not go back but an ok stay. The proximity to ocean the calling card!

Lovely to sit on deck overlooking green, pool and ocean. So relaxing, stately yet unpretentious. Wonderful breakfast served daily. Bed, pillows, comforter comfortable. Shower perfect. Would love to go back. Scenery is so priceless.

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.
