Hotels near Ipswich River

"My daughter and I stayed at The Cabot Lodge, on 4/14/26, for an overnight stay, before a college tour at Endicott College. I originally wanted to stay at the hotel on the grounds of Endicott College, but no rooms were available. In the end, I was glad that we didn’t get a room on the college grounds. We decided on The Cabot Lodge, since it was close to the college and appeared to be located in an area that had a lot to do (walkable area). There is no parking, but municipal parking was behind the hotel and the cost to park was good (overnight parking was free). The Cabot Lodge is an adorable boutique hotel. The Staff was very friendly and helpful with information about the area, restaurants and things to do. There was no staff there, from 5pm-9am (they are accessible to call, if needed), but they provided information and supplies to get you through the night w/o needing staff assistance. The room that we stayed in was so cute (unique). My daughter stayed in the loft bed, which she said was comfortable. The room and common area was very clean and nicely decorated. There were free snacks and beverages available, which was a nice touch. The Staff gave us information about the area (restaurants, things to do), which was helpful. I am glad that we stayed at the hotel and I would highly recommend it to anyone who plans to stay in the area. "

"Great place. Nice and cozy just wished the room had a small microwave to heat up late night leftovers."

"Very difficult to find property. Not visible from the roadway and no sign at roadway showing you are in the right location. GPS does not show you exact location. They will charge and keep security deposit at their discretion with minimal explanation. Limited selection for breakfast 1st come 1st serve"

"Everything was well done."

"The lobby and halls smelled musty, I understand it’s an older building. I liked the 1.5 baths in our room. Everyone was very nice"

"Everything was fine "

"Parking was very easy, accessible, and secure in a good location. Staff are great, amenities are OK, and TV/remote though old, work fine."

"Great bed, super comfortable. Love that it had a fully stocked kitchen. Only regret was that our room was on the basement level and the noise from People overhead was significant. But good overall. "

"The facility was lovely and perfectly located so that it was easy to get to various destinations. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Sadly the only downside was the bathroom is lacking in some key items. It would be helpful if there were hooks on the back of the door to hang things on. It would also be helpful to have a shelf to put toiletries, especially if there are more than one people. It would be nice to be able to heat hot water, not just coffee. Aside from these items, we were very pleased and plan on coming back."
