Steven, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

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!
Kathleen, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

Very quiet and charming location, with helpful staff.
Stewart, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

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!
Tammy, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

It was a nice and quiet place to stay for a couple of days.

Lovely and quaint motel. Very clean and comfortable with great staff.
Elizabeth, 4-night trip

8/10 Good

Close to road so noisy traffic, tv was limited to Samsung free tv stations, even though there was an Xfinity remote in room. Xfinity remote didn’t do anything, so don’t think cable was working. Room was clean, spacious, and woman at check-in was great and came to room to help with tv issue. No frills motel, but wouldn’t hesitate to stay again, if we got a room further away from the road
