I "kidnapped" my husband as a birthday gift for his 48th! I took him to the Sea Lion Matel, in Gloucester, MA. What a wonderful, totally delightfull experience this motel was. The unit was an efficiency that included a living room area, full kitchen/dining room, full bath, and bedroom. The unit was so comfortable and we wanted for nothing in... More

The rooms are very comfortable, especially the bed. We woke up feeling very refreshed. The location between Gloucester and Rockport is perfect. The staff were very nice and helpful. The price was very reason to boot. We would recommend The Sea Lion! More

When we looked at the room prior to renting, we did not notice an odor. The windows in the room were open. After returning to our room later in the evening, the windows were closed and there was a terrible odor in the room (smell of smoke and not sure what else). Since it was late, we did not find...

Having arrived in Gloucester for the 1st time ever, no plans & no place to stay (probably not recommended but it worked for us) the Sea Lion Motel was a fantastic find. The motel seems to have definitely been updated as everything is new, very comfortable and absolutely clean & accomodating (mattresses, linens, furniture, bathroom fixtures, sinks, tiles). The Customer... More

Stayed one night. Room was very clean. Would have liked a hair dryer and in-room coffee/tea. Construction is wood frame so there was some evidence of people moving in the room directly above ours. Does not offer (nor was it advertised) as a view of the ocean. Nice pool. Staff were very friendly. More

We rented the 1 bedroom cottage - spotless and comfy!! The staff was very accomodating and helpful. They even ordered pizza for delivery for us. The pool was always clean and our young children (4 yrs. and 1 yr.) loved it. A very family orientated place, in fact we meant paople who were staying in the 2 bedroom cottage next... More

We had our wedding in Gloucester in early July, and the Sea Lion could not have been more accomodating for our family and friends. We stayed in a suite in the main house and were pleasantly surprised by the large space, cleanliness and beautiful views of the beach. The suite was large enough for 7 women to get ready and... More

This was our second stay at The Sea Lion Motel. We found it very clean and the staff was very friendly, and helpful. It is about a fifteen minute walk to Good Harbor Beach, but worth it. The only problem we had was with the air conditioner unit which was quite noisy! We called and staff members came immediately to... More

This is a very simple motel. Nothing fancy here but a good price for what you get. The bathroom was a little dirty and I didn't take a bath like I wanted. The bed was very comfortable though. The staff is very nice as well. You get what you pay for. Good for business travels or people on a budget. More
