My visit to the Red Lion was awesome! I’ve visited the property a few times and it never ceases to amaze me. The box breakfast is fantastic and the coffee is excellent. The lunch and dinner options are very good and I took advantage of both. The staff is super responsive and I couldn’t say enough about them, including the cleaning staff. The history of the building is all around you and the rooms are super spacious and the gas fireplace is a fantastic way to end the day!! Thumbs up all the way around. I stayed for three nights and will be back this fall. Try it, you won’t be disappointed.

Hotel and room were beautiful. Coming here after a long day of work, to a 4-poster bed with curtains + gas fireplace turned on + jetted massive tub, was such a treat. The staff even brought my Grub Hub food order to the room so it was there when I got in. I'm going back here every month for my work overnight. Also beautiful facilities for a wedding or special event. Cohasset is exactly what a beautiful Massachusetts seaside town should be. A LOVE!

Have not had breakfast yet but it’s a box with yogurt fruit muffin.
Our room is about 300 years old and we love it. Original floors etc. my wife loves history and old well taken care of buildings. The Salty Days Restaurant next door is fantastic. Scallop dinner and Cod Sandwich were excellent. Checked in with Janie and it was a real pleasure. We are in mid 70’s so she took our luggage up to our room. Just a really nice young person that enhances your experience here. If we come back this way will stay again.

Loved my stay at Red Lion Inn!

I really liked Red Lion, i liked the old inn style and the room was clean, bed was comfortable, the shower was amazing, and the people were very friendly and accomodating. I liked the box breakfast (we had yogurt, OJ, and a muffin with coffee in the room) but if you are looking for a full breakfast you will have to go somewhere else to eat. I would totally recommend this Inn.

All in all the location and area is phenomenal. The only reason for any complaint would be that the room showed signs of wear and tear, with some paint, peeling and plaster, peeling in some areas as well as a shower with a soap holder that looked like it had been super glued to the wall Several times. Again, I have to say, though that I love the area and the location and would consider staying again

Charming Historic Inn

The Res Lion was a unique inn. It had modern conveniences in a historic building. The property was lovely. The room was pretty, and the bathroom was wonderful with a jacuzzi tub big enough to swim in and a fabulous shower. The beds were soft and very comfortable, the perfect height for my super tall husband, but a little tall to be easily accessed by my elderly mom.

We loved walking through the property and through the town of Cohasset.

I stayed in this property for two nights.

Things I liked about my stay:
- First, I would like to say that the jacuzzi tub in my room was very clean and made my stay so much better.
- I also really appreciated the waters in my room for my stay.
- The staff had a boxed breakfast available for me each morning to take to work (business trip).

Things that I didn't like about my stay:
- Parking - there needs to be signage to show where guests should be parking and how to get into the building.
- The pool - at check in the woman said the pool should be ready the next day and to ask tomorrow. The next day I asked the person in charge at the desk if the pool was ready and she LAUGHED at me and told me no. I understand the no, but laughing at me for asking was uncalled for and rude.
- I had brought food back to the room and placed it on top of the mini fridge. Within 15 minutes my food was COVERED IN ANTS. Needless to say everything got thrown out.
- When I got to the room the TV wasn't even hooked up and I had to get someone up to connect it.
- As a person with a BiPAP machine it was darn near impossible to get to the plugs behind the headboard to plug in my machine.
- There was no room cleaning done during my stay, nor was it stated anywhere that cleaning would not be done unless asked.

Neat Historic Property

This was such a neat historic property. Check in was easy. Room could probably have used a couple of fixing ups, but it was absolutely gorgeous still. Guess they had a slow couple of days because they upgraded me to a suite with a sunken living room.

The four poster bed was comfortable, the view overlooking the window was cute, breakfast was provided but a bit limited. Id stay here again just for the neat experience in a 1700s Inn.

Charming but noisy

The Red Lion Inn is very charming, no question. The restaurant/pub is very good. My main issue is that the rooms are VERY noisy. All of the common areas are pre-war era wood planked flooring, including the staircases. They are beautiful, but they are crazy loud. This is an old place, so there is no sound deadening in the rooms. Bring your ear plugs. Second complaint is that the rooms are ridiculously dark. There was one floor lamp and one wall sconce for my entire room. Forget about doing any work. It is a cute place, and would stay here again, but just be aware.
