From the outside, the place in comparison to other inns/hotels in the area- is very nice/updated. The location/views on Atlantic Rd can't be beat-gorgeous. The two fellows we met that worked the desk, couldn't have been any nicer or more helpful, they were great. The place certainly has a lot more potential-they are currently under construction, adding on-def. a wise... More

The staff was willing to accommodate us after a hurricane and north eastern front cut our trip short. The room had a bed and breakfast feel. It was conveniently placed near the deck and pool. Again the staff was very considerate and wiling to help.

The photos on the website made the place look nicer than it actually was. First of all, the chairs at the pool were rusted and the tables outside of each room had mismatched chairs. If the place had cost less, then we would not have cared about that. The location was beautiful with a breathtaking ocean view. But the pool... More

Although their lovely web site promises much, there are several problems. - the rooms are tiny, ours had no closet and the clothes we brought for the wedding had to hang on coat hooks on the wall behind the door to the room. - "ocean view from every room" is a stretch, in our room you'd have to stand at...

My husband & I stayed at Gloucester Inn by the Sea in Gloucester, MA for 6 nights in September 2010. The room was clean, spacious, and nicely, but simply decorated. The king-sized bed was comfortable. Our one surprise with the room was the lack of a clothes closet. Since we were there for a wedding, we had some nicer attire... More

My mother, sister, 4 1/2 month old niece and myself stayed for 2 nights and it was a really nice experience. The staff was great, the room was very clean and the location was perfect. I would certainly return!

It is at a perfect location. Right in front of the ocean.You can see the activity in ocean from the room. There was ban on water but we did not feel because all night we had enough water bottles to cater to our needs. The customer service was too good. Staff was very friendly. Clean and tidy rooms with kitchenett.... More

Decent rooms with all amenities, and they all seem to be faced to the Ocean. Very clean. Decent beds. When I arrived (late and during a storm) there was a very friendly and efficient young guy at the front desk. I got a decent rate of 99 USD for a very nice room. Recommended!
