8/10 Good
"Good place to stay the breakfast which was included was fabulous. The only thing I can say is keep an eye on your bill because they did try and add an extra $63 to my bill a little confusion when we checked in but in the end, they did fix it…"

10/10 Excellent
"I stayed four days here and it was very comfortable. We had a living room, kitchen, bathroom and one bedroom. The kitchen has all basic amenities and the bathroom is also very clean. You could ask for housekeeping everyday if you need but it isn't including automatically. We just asked for clean towels everyday. The staffs were very helpful and nice. They gave us recommendations for restaurants and tips for parking and transportation. The location is great... 3 mins drive to the beach, 7 mins to Rockport. I would love to stay again at Sea Lion Motel when I visit Gloucester in the future. I loved every moment in Gloucester and Rockport. Thank you."

"The room was very clean and the front desk staff made checking in incredibly easy. Breakfast was a huge plus since we have two young kids. We don't stay in hotels...ever, so this was a fairly new experience but they made it easy and stress free."

"You can tell the ownership and staff really care about hospitality. Right from the greeting at check in to the check out the staff was not just friendly but welcoming and caring. The room was exceptionally clean. I usually find something just not quite right. Not here everything was better than expected. I highly recommend the Vista and hope to be back this way again and wil definately return."
