Overnight Stay
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.

6/10 Good

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.

8/10 Very good

Very pleasant stay in Sea Lion Motel. Staff were very friendly and offered plenty advice on the local area at check in. We stayed in a motel room. It was pleasant enough, spacious and clean although a little dark. Definitely worth the money for our brief visit to Gloucester. Morning muffins were lovely!
