What is a historic hotel like in Gloucester?

What is the difference between a historic hotel and a heritage hotel?
You'll often hear the term "heritage hotel" in Asia and Europe, while "historic hotel" is a term often used in the U.S. but overall the terms are quite similar. The physical building and architecture of a historic hotel tends to be the most significant aspect. For a heritage hotel, it's often the cultural value and how it influenced the community.
Do historic hotels in Gloucester have modern facilities?
Hotels include modern conveniences and safety features you expect to find, though efforts have been made to preserve historic facades and treasured traditions. Private rooms with updated bathroom facilities, free WiFi, and the usual amenities found in most hotels should be available at a historic hotel.
