Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Beautiful room and Inn in a perfect location! We thoroughly enjoyed the stay! The Inn keep, Kim, was accommodating and friendly. We had a lovely breakfast in the morning and even fresh cookies during check-in. The location could not be any better being able to walk to downtown easily. Highly recommend

We had such a wonderful time celebrating an engagement. The breakfast was so good and Linda helped with every need. The working fireplaces were the cherry on top of extremely comfortable rooms. Make sure to go to the cupala on the top floor for 360 degree views.

This inn is so lovely, right in the heart of Newburyport. Delicious breakfasts, cozy living room, and a warm and welcoming innkeeper - thank you Kim! Caitlin was also lovely to interact with, and my husband and I had a great and relaxing weekend. We will be back!

Lovely quaint and quiet Inn close to everything downtown. The suite was perfect with plenty of room, lots of natural light, working fireplace and an additional sink and mirror outside of bathroom. King bed and pillows were very comfortable. Only thing missing were robes. Wine glasses and bottle opener provided in room. Little touches of cookies, chocolate, wine, coffee and tea throughout common area. We didn’t partake in breakfast due to eggs being main hot option, but we ate at Angie’s which was very good. The Inn Keeper, Kim was attentive and kindly gave us recommendations. We will definitely be back.

My sister and I traveled to Newburyport to see my granddaughter's play and we could not have picked a more beautiful place to stay! The room was immaculate, the breakfast superb, and our innkeeper, Kim, was helpful and lovely. The location is absolutely perfect, walking distance to restaurants and shopping in downtown. I highly recommend Compass Rose and will definitely stay there again!

Spent a few days in Newburyport recently. The Compass Rose Inn is situated in the heart of town allowing you to park and walk to many stores and restaurants during your stay. So many nice places to dine within walking distance. Quiet, large rooms, excellent breakfast and well maintained. The innkeeper Kim was friendly, helpful and and accommodating . She is a great asset to this establishment. This is a great place to stay if you travel to that area of MA.

The Inn could not be more cozy and welcoming. Immaculate common areas and guest rooms; this was our second stay and will not be our last. Innkeeper Kim is similarly warm and welcoming; her coffee and breakfast offerings are delicious. Very nice to have parking available, and the Inn is within walking distance of many fun shops and restaurants in downtown Newburyport. We are so glad we found the Compass Rose Inn!

We were met with a friendly greeting by Kim, the Innkeeper. Our suite was very clean and comfortable with two distinct spaces including a comfy loveseat, chair , desk , tv and king size bed. The room had a fireplace which we didn’t use. The bed was very comfortable. The Inn is snuggled into a neighborhood which is walkable to shops, restaurants and the riverfront. Kim provided a nice continental breakfast in the morning. We highly recommend a stay here.

My husband and I enjoyed a trip to Plum Island in search of owls. The Compass Rose Inn was everything they promised. The fireplace was so easy to light and very enjoyable. Plenty of room in the suite. Nice dinner at Groggs which we walked to. Lots of little snacks around the common room. Would definately stay again.

What a cozy room! It was so romantic-- I will definitely be back! Shout out to the Innkeeper-- she was amazing. My favorite was getting some logs to build a fire, and my partner and I read by the fire before dinner. Really recommend staying here and doing dinner at the lighthouse!
