Nice place
We stayed here because Gloucester isn’t too far from Salem where we were visiting.
10 minutes in a cab from train station.
Very quiet, helpful receptionist and decent mix of continental breakfast available in reception area.
Nice base for 2 nights.

My friend and I fished the Yankee Clipper for 2 days and were up and out each morning before breakfast. We only encountered the room conditions, ice for our catch, convenience to the boat, and parking - all were excellent. We were looking for a great price and convenience and the Sea Lion met both!
