Addison Choate — Hotel in Rockport

My wife and I stayed at the Addison Choate House Boutique Hotel/B&B in Rockport, MA around the Thanksgiving Holiday. We liked the space so much, that we added a day to our stay. We stayed in the Crow’s Nest Suite. As the name implies, its at the top of house, so do mind the stairs, but the accommodations were well worth the effort up to the top. The shower had great pressure (a must for me). The space? Cozy, with all the essentials (Wi- Fi, TV, refrigerator, and coffeemaker) were all there. Comfortable furnishings, great original artwork, and peek-view of the ocean. The bed was firm (just the way I like it) but with a plush top that has my wife and I looking to find a duplicate mattress for our own home! Breakfast! Advertised as a full breakfast, and it was. Plentiful enough that I saved some of it for later, but it’s a bag of high-end goodies (muffins, fresh blueberries, yogurt, granola, milk), and not the “hot bacon and eggs” breakfast on a plate with silverware that I’ve come to expect at a B&B. Still, I was so pleased with everything else that it mattered|| little. The seating for dining is a common area, simultaneously roomy and intimate, and was consistent with the rest of the comfortable accommodations. We filled up on breakfast in the morning and were good to go until dinner time. Rockport has plenty of delightful shops and eateries to choose from, and the Addison Choate B&B is a 5 minute walk to all that downtown Rockport has to offer.|Our host, Marshall, was as fine as they come - a gentleman, great conversationalist, and listener. He helped me with our bags to the Crow’s Nest, and even procured shaving cream and a razor for me, as I had left mine at home. Marshall promptly and graciously attended to every request or suggestion we made. We definitely look forward to our next opportunity to stay at the Addison...

Addison Choate is the most lovely boutique hotel on the North Shore in quintessential Rockport, MA! My family and I stayed in Dog’s Watch Suite; we were excited to find the space as it’s not easy to find rooms that sleep 3. Upon arrival, we met Marshall who greeted us warmly and made us feel instantly welcome. He offered us use of an additional room if needed, which was above and beyond. As he helped us with our luggage, he kindly provided some excellent restaurant reservations based on our preferences. I have stayed in a ton of hotels across the world and this level of service is impossible to find. Thank you, Marshall!

In the Dog’s Watch Suite, absolutely no detail was overlooked. Our room was perfectly appointed with all the essentials; we felt like we were in a much nicer version of our home! The decor was modern and fun (could have been featured on HGTV), the bed was plush and evoked peaceful dreams, and the bathroom was updated and beautiful (loved the bath products). We even found some candies left for us, which was a great touch. Downstairs, we had a patio with hanging chairs, a perfectly appointed kitchen, and a lovely sitting area adorned with artwork. This theme continued throughout the charming property- and made exploring so much fun.

Breakfast was perfect, and the croissants were so good we felt like we were transported to Paris before exploring downtown Rockport. I cannot recommend Addison Choate enough; the location, the gorgeous, spotless rooms, the breakfast, and the unparalleled service will leave you wanting for nothing- except a return trip. Marshall, thanks for your tireless efforts to make our trip so special! Can’t wait for...

We decided to stay local after our out-of-state vacations were canceled due to COVID-19. When researching logging, it was apparent that Addison Choate stood out as the type of higher-end logging we like when traveling. After our visit, we know we made the right choice. What an amazing, relaxing, and refreshing experience (not to mention clean and safe)!

The transformation from outdated B&B to modern boutique hotel with vibrant historic character is what you get at Addison Choate. Traditional aspects, such as refinished original wide-board hardwood pine floors, architectural integrity, a hearty fresh breakfast, and spirited and friendly inn keepers combined with modern amenities including abundant electrical outlets, USB plugs, Apple TV, newly remodeled marble bathrooms with ample vanity storage space and a great hairdryer, extremely comfortable bed/linens, essential oil diffuser, and aesthetically pleasing decor makes Addison Choate the perfect blend of old and new.

Not only was this boutique hotel comfortable and welcoming, but it is conveniently located to all major restaurants, shopping, and beaching. It took only 6 minutes for us to walk with 2 beach chairs, umbrella, bag, and cooler to Front Beach. Perfect location with no need to take your car anywhere.

So happy to support young entrepreneurs like Marshall and Courtney, as they start a new generation of inn keeping and boutique logging. Wishing them much success. Hope to...
