Just needed a place to stay for a night and came across this place. On the ocean! Fantastic views. Leave your door open a tad and listen to the ocean waves. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Excellent coffee and pastry in the morning. If you like "Hoey Paloy" this is not your place, but if you like down to... More

I read the reviews, and drove by the place the last time we were in Gloucester. Pretty unbeatable if you want the beach at your doorstep. The photos are accurate; you walk out your door and on to a huge, pretty private beach. (We were there in September 2011, so it wasn't really busy on the beach, but the hotel... More

This is a slightly older hotel. I was on the top floor, no elevator, but incredible views of Long Beach and amazing sunrises. The rooms were just fair, though clean. Wireless internet worked. The balconies were all interconnected--one long balcony running the length of the building. A bit unnerving if you wanted privacy, and disturbing for the amount of cigarette... More

This was a nice place to stay. It's an older place. It's not a luxury resort. But if you want to get away from it all, and you want to bring your dog, it's a good place to go. There is no boardwalk there. I really liked it. You walk out of the hotel and you are right on the... More

Where else can you walk through a door and have a view of the ocean without spending extra money for 'ocean view'. Just lovely. Room is comfortable; bed; couch, table and chairs. Sliding door opens for balcony with outside seating. Breakfast is included; coffee; tea and/or orange juice; muffins or donuts. More

Met my family here for a weekend gathering. The Inn is a small (40 rooms+/-), seems like a family run business. All of the employees that I happened across, were very friendly and helpful. The Rooms were clean and comfortable. If you're looking for Marriott type rooms, stay at a chain hotel. The lack of a/c isn't a problem. The... More

Had a terrific time with family. Right on the beach!! No better place in Cape Ann. Beautiful breezes made air-conditioning unnecessary. Dog friendly for those of you who would like to bring your loveable pets. Kayaking, boogie-boarding, tubing, surfing, bonfires at night. There were even fireworks while we were there. What beautiful, breath-taking sunsets and sun rises. Never saw any... More

I went with a group of 8 and we booked 3 rooms. The rooms were all extremely outdated and dirty. The room I stayed in had a giant stain on the rug, holes in the couch and the towels were stained. There is no AC which would be fine since we had a great cross breeze when the front and... More

Sheets and blankets where old an had holes. cob webs on the walls. no air conditioning which would have been ok if you could leave the doors open. no locks on the screen door. the mattress you could feel the springs and the...
