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.

This place was charming. It is so clean and great location to all the wonderful restaurants, fishing, and whale watching, close to Boston and Salem. It's just a wonderful place to stay. Check in and check out. Simple. Cant wait to go back again soon...

Close to downtown Gloucester and Cape Ann Whale Watch which I highly recommend. Cute, comfortable, clean room, lovely staff. Property is ok, first impression pulling in was not great but the room was charming and the place grew on us. We had coffee in the Adirondack chairs outside of our room and had a little view of the water through the trees. We only stayed one night and walked to Good Harbor beach (20 minutes) which is gorgeous. We would definitely recommend this motel and would stay again.

Beautiful setting! Gorgeous and clean pool & pool area! Room was spotless! Only thing that I could mention was the WiFi connection was not that good if you do need to connect.
I was totally in love with the puppo statue! Who ever painted him gave him the best vibe ever!

Property is n great condition. Very clean. Very friendly. Would definitely stay again. The only issue was WiFi and TV. Neither would stay connected at any point during our stay.

Priced like a luxury stay (at least outside of Gloucester), but the rooms themselves are outfitted like the Bates Motel meets Super 8.
Would I do it again? Sure, in a pinch. But not without some healthy side eye.
