8/10 Good
"Staff was most helpful. Our room was near a busy road, so we heard cars at night. Very basic, but comfortable room. Bedding was excellent. Walk to Good Harbor is doable, but walk back up the hill could be tough if you have a lot to carry."

Beauport Hotel Gloucester

Beauport Hotel Gloucester

8/10 Good
"Check-in and check-out were easy & seamless. Staff is very friendly & helpful. The rooftop pool and bar are great…just wish it was a bigger area/more chairs because the hotel is quite large. Beach was okay…quite a bit of seaweed and quite rocky. The free paddleboards, beach chairs & towels were a nice addition at the beach. Overall it is a lovely hotel but the area/city around it isn’t the nicest."
