“In my opinion, this is a solid choice for Gloucester, especially considering the price. Its location provides easy access to both Rockport and Route 128, yet it's removed enough to avoid traffic noise. I find that the combination of a continental breakfast, a well-maintained pool, and proximity to local attractions makes it a practical base for exploring the area.”
