We took the long boring drive down Route 1 all the way to Newburyport. The only good think was we found a Starbucks and got Bill his carmel frappunicco. At
Newburyport, we switched to Route 1A which was more scenic that lead is to 133 east into the town of Gloucester Ma. It was about 3:30 and I figured a good time to stop in places and get a room. Our first try was at The Cape Ann Marina. A full service resort that looked over the water. with pool, hot tub, massage etc. I saw one of the room and was not impressed but it would do if we could get nothing else. Further down I saw a sign for a visitor information center. I stopped in and they gave me a list of only a few places that had rooms available.
I called a couple or three that looked interesting but no one had rooms for 2 nights. I then looked over this somewhat interesting brochure of an Inn on the main street overlooking the water. I called spoke to Paul and he said he had suites available or $155 a night. I jumped on it and said we would be right over.
We could not believe our good fortune when we were showed to our 3 bedroom suite overlooking the water. Bill (and I as well) was impressed with the design of the house. Tastefully decorated, immaculately clean, Paul show us around his Inn as well as home. The Inn consisted of 3 suites, an apartment and Paul's apartment as well. Our suite on the second floor has beam, cathedral ceilings, claw foot tub bathroom, a sitting room/bedroom flanked by a master bedroom and a second bedroom. Throughout the Inn Victorian touches abound, with sculptures, original drawings and carpets throughout the suite.
We checked in and took a walk along the water.
