This was our first trip to the East Coast and you will find out quickly that it is not cheap to stay in this area. Our first stop in Gloucester was the visitors center. After telling them we were just staying for the night and we were looking for something reasonably priced and clean. They called up the Sea Lion... More

Even years ago when it was owned by others untill 1999 , it was the perfect accommodation for families. Since 2000 with the new ownership however, it is even more special. The motel... More

We stayed at the Sea Lion Motel this past weekend for 3 nights. The location was great because it was close to the beach, grocery and other stores, and a short ride to the downtown area. We stayed in a suite in the main house (room 122). It was pretty much a small apartment - it had a full kitchen,... More

My family holds a weekend reunion (approximately 40 people) each summer. We alternate between the Jersey shore and the New England coast. The Sea Lion Motel and Cottages is by far the best place we've stayed. The rooms, grounds, and pool are immaculate. A previous review complained of a musty room smell, but once we turned on our air conditioning... More

My company called a company wide 4 th july week shutdown, so I made a quick decision and found a closeby place to rent for a few days. My wife and I like Cape Ann so I made one phone call during lunch and we were all set. The resort was very close to my work and only 45 minutes... More

I have stayed at Sea Lion twice and both times was happy. The accomodations are spotless, staff is helpful and friendly. The heated pool was just right.

I was planning a deep sea fishing trip out of Gloucester, MA., and, since the boat leaves at 4:00AM and I was not familiar with the area, I thought it'd be wise to get there the day before and get a decent night's sleep. The charter boat captain recommended The Sea Lion saying it was clean and comfortable. I called... More
