Great place to stay for kids with the pool area (with a water slide) and the arcade room. Every member of the staff we engaged with was pleasant and accommodating. The room was super clean and up to date. The food and service at the restaurant was too notch. Overall the whole experience exceeding our expectations. Will definitely stay at John Carver Inn again.

Ok but outdated
It was very outdated, all the machines were out of service, or sold out. The front counter guy had his friends hanging out. But it was downtown, so it was convenient

Poorly run, poor customer response.
Customer service was poor. In addition to staying we also had a contract for a pool birthday party.
Well, the pool and pool area was super cold that the kids did not want to swim. They also are not allowed to use the hot top or sauna and a parent was reprimanded after bringing her son in the sauna to get warm.
It was a mess and I was embarrassed since I was the one hosting.
… when I talked to the front desk, after the teens watching over us and enforcing the rules agreed the pool and room temperature is never this cold, the front desk noted that something did ha-pen over night where it was not heating but fine now.. this is untrue.
I was not offered any other options or compensation. Just an apology that did it seem genuine.
Later after the party we were given money off the party but honestly it was not even remotely enough to feel like there was any real care.
Picture shows how cold

Charming with very good staff
Room was very comfortable. Yes it is an older building however they seem to have done a good job to keep it updated. The town was so charming and we will be going back to spend more time and will stay here again.

Booked this hotel last minute because everything in Boston was so expensive. The clerk that evening was delightful and steered us toward a really nice place to grab a bite. The bed was comfortable, shower was hot, room was clean! It’s been updated a bit, but I personally enjoy the rustic charm it still holds. It’s not a 5 star place, but it’s homey and a nice little mom and pop type of inn.

Too many rules for the pool
Great locale but hotel is out dated but rooms are updated. Poorly cleaned rooms. The pool would have been fun if it wasn't for the onslaught of rules.
