I recently stayed here for my friend's wedding, and it was great. Wonderful event, lots of good times had. The hotel occupies a beautiful location in Gloucester, overlooking the Atlantic. Our room in the main building took full advantage, with a picture window facing east. Some of the other rooms (those not in the main house) looked less desirable, though.... More

Such a cool experience. We were invited by the bride and groom to lodge in the suite with them and other friends. Our room was the large room upstairs with the windows overlooking the Atlantic - I don't think you can sleep in a bed that close to the ocean anywhere else. It was great! The atmosphere was awesome for... More

We came upon this gorgeous Victorian style Inn totally by accident and with daylight running out! They happened to have one last room available that night and we grabbed it. It was a huge room on the 2nd floor and had large windows around the front the room. Our view was right out to sea with a rugged seascape and... More

Our son was married here in September of 2011. The overall wedding experience was fantastic and could not have been handled better. Our wedding planner Chris was a true professional, seeing to everyday with professionalism and caring. the venue, the food, the service for the wedding was above board...... however...... Our wedding booked almost 85% if not more of the... More

We went to Glocester to visit the ocean side and catch up with old friends as well as to have some much over due time together. Firstly, the room was dark and nasty, the carpets were buckled, the chain lock was busted off and the AC blew hot moldy smelling air. Welcome to your first five minutes at the Oceanview.... More

Let me start off by saying….Upon booking a hotel room, all non-wedding guests are informed before we take their credit card if there is going to be a wedding during the duration of their stay, therefore, all non-wedding guests have the opportunity to decide whether or not they want to stay with us with the knowledge that it may be...

We stayed here as we were attending a wedding at the Inn in ealy September. We only stayed one night and only spent time in the room to dress and sleep. The Inn and motel units are old and very tired. The motel should be torn down. The room was very plain and reasonable clean. It didn't smell of mildew... More

We were up in Gloucester, MA for a 3-night (Wed - Sat) long weekend on a last minute trip. I found Ocean View because it claimed it has all ocean view rooms and WiFi in the rooms. I saw their pictures on the website and the rooms looked beautiful and quaint. Upon our check-in, the receptionist said we can have... More

I stayed for a wedding and I was not happy at all. The room was trashy looking and was way over priced. The workers did not give us the service that we expected. It was just old... and not very nice. I like the pictures on the website, I just wish our room looked that way. But not so much.... More

Do NOT have your wedding or any other type of event here! We chose this venue for our wedding due to it's gorgeous view along the waterfront. First off, we had our menu tasting and although we enjoyed the filet, we were not bowled over by any of the chicken options. I called and emailed repeatedly to request another tasting... More
