“This historic hotel presents custom-furnished rooms with generous suite layouts, most offering direct Atlantic views. Exclusive to the property are seaside breakfasts showcasing local fare. I think it is a remarkable access point to Gloucester's whale watching, as the hotel sits near the World Wildlife Fund's top destinations.”
