I've been to Ocean Grove many times but have not visited the Shawmut until last week. It was lovely -- it was clean, sweet and accommodating. It's right across the street from the beach and central to all. The one thing I liked the most was that there was attention to detail, e.g., instructions on using the TV remote and... More

We had to visit the area on short notice and google-mapped to see which was best. For the price we were pleasantly surprised. We reserved a room without any issues. The Shawmont is right on the Ocean, parking was an ease, and they were welcoming as soon as we walked in the door. Being from New England we felt right... More

I had the opportunity to take a mid-week night away at the Shawmont, so I took the Academy Bus down from work in NYC for the night (very easy to do, and at $16 each way and about 2 hours, not a bad deal to get you a few blocks from the hotel). It was just a short night with... More

Went to Ocean Grove to see Michael W. Smith in concert at the Great Auditorium. (Wonderful show). 1st visit to Ocean Grove and had learned about the type of town it is by friends.
