FAQs

The Ipswich Inn offers self-check in. We do have a lobby area but it is not staffed regularly. Guests should plan to carry their own luggage to their rooms on the first, second, or third floor via the stairs. If getting up the stairs with your luggage is a concern we recommend booking rooms accessible from the first/ground floor.

We do not have an elevator. Second and third floor rooms are only accessible via staircases. If navigating several flights of stairs is a concern we recommend booking rooms on the first floor/ground level.

We’re committed to accommodating the needs of all our guests and strive to offer as accessible a lodging experience as possible. However, The Ipswich Inn is housed in a historic Victorian home built in 1863, which presents some accessibility limitations. While we do have an ADA-compliant ramp for entry at the rear of the main house, none of our guest rooms fully meet ADA accessibility standards, and there is no elevator access to the second or third floors.

For guests seeking first-floor accommodations, we recommend The Veranda Room in the main house and the Carriage House Suite, both located on the ground level. Please note:

• The Carriage House Suite has two small steps at the entrance and features a tub-style bathroom.
• The Veranda Room offers a curbed shower stall, but the space is narrow and may not be suitable for all mobility devices.
• Doorways in these rooms are approximately 24 inches wide, which can accommodate most standard wheelchairs.

We encourage guests with specific mobility needs to contact us directly to ensure the best possible experience. We’re here to help you choose a room that fits your comfort and access requirements.

We are happy to host the best breakfast spot in town right on site! However the breakfast restaurant is under separate ownership so it is not included in the room rate. For more information on our breakfast restaurant, please visit this website.

We would be happy to host your event! Please visit our events page, fill out the form, and we’ll get back to you as soon as we can.

We would recommend a rental car as it will be helpful to get around to see the area but you can also take this shuttle to Danvers then take an uber from there to the inn (it’s a bit more cost effective than an Uber from the airport to the inn). Another option is the train. You take the silver line to the Newburyport/rockport commuter rail. This takes you directly to Ipswich. You can plan the trip using this link.

Unfortunately we don’t have anyone available on site to process physical payments. We are always happy to take payment by phone.

We have 24/7 phone support! Text or call us at (978)-312-9061 and there will always be someone here for you. We also stock a closet in each unit with incidentals should you need something.
