Sea Lion Motel and Cottages

Sea Lion Motel and Cottages

8/10 Good
"This was an ideal location for staying in Gloucester without being in the heart of the Labor Day chaos and dealing with downtown parking. It's short walk to the grocery store, retail, restaurants, and the marina, which was great for us. The mattress was incredibly firm and painful to sleep on and the hotel room was simple but clean. The outdoor pool looked lovely, although we didn't get a chance to use it. The breakfast spread was very small but good, although I could have used a few more protein options. This is a great option for people looking for a simple and more affordable place to stay while adventuring in Gloucester."
