Top Gloucester Hotel Reviews

Long Beach Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Wow, so close to Long Beach! Comfortable Apt. Shaw's grocery store nearby. Cute little patio facing East so sunshine in the morning. :) Loved it so much! Will definitely be back!"

Best Western Plus North Shore Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I do wish they had bagels at the breakfast bar. They only had one elevator working the whole time, which i understand but at times it was difficult do to high volumes of people. I could hear the person in the room next room snoring. And I was in the room right next to the stairs which wasn't ideal, but had no choice there. But always love staying at this location when I go to Salem."

Castle Manor Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Great place for a night to fly out next morning...shuttle runs 24/7 every half hour. Staff was great"

Holiday Inn Hotel & Suites Boston - Peabody by IHG

8/10 Good

"I am basing my review on price. This hotel is quite inexpensive and the property reflects it's age. I don't have any real "con's" to share, other than to say, the property is a bit dated but it appears they may be in the midst of doing updates. It would be nice to have some updated TV's as we couldn't even watch a movie but that wasn't a big deal to us. Everything worked as it should, and was clean. The beds were comfortable and had spotless white bedding. The common areas were kept clean and the lobby was well stocked with snacks. The kids enjoyed the pool every day that we were there. It was kept clean and stocked with towels. Staff were very nice and couldn't have been more helpful with every request we made. Best of all, the location was a quick 10-15 minute drive into Salem. This was well worth it at a fraction of the cost. Lots of restaurants to chose from within a couple minutes of the site. Overall, it was a basic hotel and well priced. We were pleased with the location and accessibility. It was clean and served our needs of needing a place to sleep and shower."

Ashworth by the Sea

8/10 Good

"We had a great stay. We feel for the price we paid the property should have been better maintained. The toilets were very loud when you flushed and our room was beneath a event space and could hear loud banging from the furniture being moved around. But over all the balcony view of the beach and ocean was amazing, the staff were friendly and helpful, and the location was unbeatable."
