Our family of five took a 17-day trip along the east coast visiting all the historic sites apropos of early America. We spent a marvelous night at the Vista, enjoying the nearby sites and restaurants. Gloucester is wonderful and the fishing area near Cape Ann memorable. The motel may not be anything fancy but it was clean and provided fine... More

Efficiency, back building, second level, and a terrific view of the ocean from the balcony! The sliding door has a screen so that fresh air can come into the room.

I stayed here with a friend for another girls weekend. The room was a little dated, but the view made up for that. We enjoyed sitting on the balcony and having a cocktail or morning mimosa. We got a great deal to stay here and we would stay again. Having a small fridge and microwave was helpful as we brought... More
