First impressions are that you collect your key from a raucous bar on the wharf. Don't be surprised if they assume you are a prostitute taking a man to a room.. Once you get upstairs the room is BRAND NEW! The street is noisy but the price is half of what you pay in other local places. It is clean... More

Staying at the crow's nest, expect a special experience. Very far from luxury, even from average motel (old fashioned, or rather plain old furniture, months of dust on semi-broken shades, etc), but gives you a unique feel of the fishermen town of Gloucester. In the summer, where you are mostly out of your room anyway, it is probably the best... More

it is quite strange to enter a pub to check in the people working there are kind. my room was on the 2nd floor and cattying up the luggage was not easy. the room was small but with everything you need (ashtraier included and you can smoke!). quote a walk to the fisheramn's memorial but close to the fisher harbor...

Just spent 2 nights at the dirtiest, nastiest, hotel .. locals quoted:are you kidding me you can't stay there you women are crazy...awoken at 2:30am to the sounds of a rumble in the next room, people screaming outside the bar. Just pure filth...the ac didn't work,it was so full of dust/dirt that we had to wipe off to see if... More

If you are out for an adventure - Stay on top of the Crows nest bar - a real hang out for fishermen and what ever hangs around in the harbour area. Check in at the bar (very friendly) and walk UP the street to the back of the building. If you can work out the keys and find the... More

The room was clean, but outdated. Our room was on the second floor, so it helped cut down on the noise from the bar, but no elevator so lots of stairs. If you have small children I would stay elsewhere. The stairs were steep and concrete. There is no parking so you have to search for a place in front... More

I love to blend in with the locals and this Bar / Hotel was a great experience. The rooms are attached to a waterfront bar and give you a view of the local industrial fishing marina. You check in by going to the bar and paying and receiving one of the old style metal keys with a plastic motel key... More

The Crow's Nest Inn is situated on a busy street that you need to park on as they have no guest parking . We checked in at the bar with a very friendly bartender who recommended we check the room out before we commited to staying there. She gave us a room on the 2nd floor to help cut down... More

My wife and I stayed here one night during a trip to New England. Rooms are quiet (3rd Floor), but you can smell cigarette smoke everywhere you are. My wife kept waking up to the smell. Room was clean, with little to no amenities. No shampoo, so bring your own. Was worth staying there one night, but that's all!
