Beauport Hotel Gloucester

Beauport Hotel Gloucester

10/10 Excellent
"We had an excellent stay at the Beauport! The room was surprisingly large, clean, and well designed. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The food and drinks were great. The adults only rooftop pool was fantastic. Special shout-out to Colby for taking care of us on the rooftop. The only cons were the noise outside early in the morning from the dockyards and the agressive birds on the deck. Overall an excellent stay. Will definitely recommend and hope to come back soon."
