This place was charming. It is so clean and great location to all the wonderful restaurants, fishing, and whale watching, close to Boston and Salem. It's just a wonderful place to stay. Check in and check out. Simple. Cant wait to go back again soon...

Close to downtown Gloucester and Cape Ann Whale Watch which I highly recommend. Cute, comfortable, clean room, lovely staff. Property is ok, first impression pulling in was not great but the room was charming and the place grew on us. We had coffee in the Adirondack chairs outside of our room and had a little view of the water through the trees. We only stayed one night and walked to Good Harbor beach (20 minutes) which is gorgeous. We would definitely recommend this motel and would stay again.

Priced like a luxury stay (at least outside of Gloucester), but the rooms themselves are outfitted like the Bates Motel meets Super 8. Would I do it again? Sure, in a pinch. But not without some healthy side eye.

Very pleasant stay in Sea Lion Motel. Staff were very friendly and offered plenty advice on the local area at check in. We stayed in a motel room. It was pleasant enough, spacious and clean although a little dark. Definitely worth the money for our brief visit to Gloucester. Morning muffins were lovely!
