My stay at the hotel was wonderful. The rooms were clean and spacious, just out of the center of Gloucester. The location was awesome, extremely convenient to the beach and both downtown Gloucester and Rockport. The dining experience helped to start out our day, with fresh croissants. However, the noise from busy road traffic with windows open was a bit of a downside.

The hotel offers a charming view of the ocean, though from a distance, and the rooms are cozy and clean. The service is top-notch, but the dining options could be more diverse. The location is ideal for exploring both the beach and nearby towns, but there may be some noise from the busy road. Overall, a decent value for a stay with minor room size concerns.

The room I stayed in had a lovely east-facing view of the ocean, though it was a bit small. It was, however, comfortable and impeccably clean.

The hotel's location is great, with easy access to the beach, downtown Gloucester, and Rockport. However, it can get a bit noisy from the busy road traffic when windows are open.

Dining

The dining experience offered sufficient options for a continental breakfast, including some home-baked goods. However, it may not meet expectations if looking for a wide variety of foods.

Staying at this hotel was a great experience overall. The rooms were spotless and fun, even though being directly below another room would've been slightly better. The service was top-notch, especially with the housekeeping. The location is extremely convenient and offers a nice view of the ocean, although it can be a bit noisy from the busy road traffic. The dining options, while providing a nice start to the day, could have been a bit more varied. The facilities were good, with fresh options available in the office.

The dining experience really helped kickstart our day with freshly squeezed juice, even offering home-baked goods, but the variety was slim.
