The people were great, place was clean, but slightly. When comparing prices of other places to stay in Gloucester, MA it was great! Continental breakfast served daily in the office. It's up a small hill, so you don't hear the main road traffic. The pool looked great, but it was too cold to utilize it. I would definitely stay here again!

A motel that doesn’t feel like a motel. While it offers the convenience of parking close to the room, the rooms are more hotel-like than typical motels. The pool looked beautiful, though it was not pool weather when I stayed. Convenient location for a wedding in Gloucester for half the price of nearby hotels. Easy access to Rockport or Rte 128 without being on a busy road. The front desk people were very welcoming and the complimentary breakfast was a nice bonus. I was so glad I stayed here!

This motel is located on a nice property set back from a busy street that is accessible to both the Gloucester waterfront and neighboring Rockport, The rooms are clean and the staff is friendly. The continental breakfast included tasty muffins. The only problem was the lack of hot water when showering.It became lukewarm only after letting it run for awhile; not optimal for a unseasonably chilly rainy day. I assume this was an anomaly and therefore I recommend this property to Gloucester visitors.

Everyone was so incredibly friendly! Free breakfast was very simple but good. The bed said it was queen but was definitely a full and that's the only issue I had with this place.

I really was upset that the internet was so bad. This is a critical facility for me as I make travel arrangements. After 10 pm the internet was at best intermittent and often stopped working or the signal was very low in room 114.
