Very nice clean well maintained room. Did not utilize any of the amenities on site, as we were only results in town to attend a funeral and did not spend any time on site other sleeping at night. Staff was excellent and very helpful. Would definitely stay at the Sea Li on again.

My friends and I stayed here during a weekend escape to the beach. Our room was spacious, clean and very comfortable for the 3 of us. The property was beautiful and quiet at night. All of the staff we met were friendly and gave us wonderful recommendations for food and beaches. We also really liked their breakfast- lots of variety. We loved it!

Staff was most helpful. Our room was near a busy road, so we heard cars at night. Very basic, but comfortable room. Bedding was excellent. Walk to Good Harbor is doable, but walk back up the hill could be tough if you have a lot to carry.

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.

This was an ideal location for staying in Gloucester without being in the heart of the Labor Day chaos and dealing with downtown parking. It's short walk to the grocery store, retail, restaurants, and the marina, which was great for us. The mattress was incredibly firm and painful to sleep on and the hotel room was simple but clean. The outdoor pool looked lovely, although we didn't get a chance to use it. The breakfast spread was very small but good, although I could have used a few more protein options. This is a great option for people looking for a simple and more affordable place to stay while adventuring in Gloucester.
