This place is in a great location, and the price is lower than most in the area. Upon check-in on Saturday night, the guy at the desk was very friendly and pleasant to deal with. True, it's a bit older, but it was neat, clean, a decent price, and you can bring your furry friend. For that, we were willing... More

This motel could use a little work, but it still has some charm. They try hard and every year at least one part of our family stays there. My family and I usually rent a house on the seawall and 1 or 2 family's that are related to us stay here. The location is great, no one can argue with... More

I stayed here with a birdwatching group for a January weekend. The rooms are older, but very clean and comfortable. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. The view is the best! The beach with views of twin lighthouses from every room. A wonderful bargin!

Stayed on 3rd floor (no elevators) but not that bad of a walk for the payoff, the views! Room and bed was comfortable. Went to register and was told "I am on the phone" which I actually could appreciate, was not particularly rude. It is true as previously indicated by another review the sliding doors are on a balcony that... More

Went to Cape Ann and stayed for Labor Day Weekend. There was music and fun had by all. Both bands that played that night were absolutely wonderful. I'm looking forward to next year, hoping Brad will do it again. It was a perfect beach day and the night was great. Relaxing listing to music. I still think this is the... More

Have been going there for over 30 years. The location is perfect. On the beach...out of the way. Always go in the fall & is a great base. Equal distance to Gloucester and Rockport. Kitchenettes are nice if you are staying longer. Walking the beach every morning is a pleasant way to start the day. Friendly atmosphere. Can't wait to... More

The inn is right on the Ocean. Beach is good until tide comes in. Inn is older and rooms are in need of remodeling. Rooms are noisey. Staff is very friendly and they have coffee and donuts for a morning snack. Good location to Rockport and Gloucester. Harbor beach is just down the road.

Even thou this is a small quiant little hotel, it was awesome. Family own and run. They were terrific. The bakery made - right out of the oven pastries they had each morning with juice and coffee was exceptional. A diamond in the rough

My daughter and her family live in Gloucester and I am there very often. This was my first visit to Cape Ann Motor Inn. I found it to be charming, unique and delightful. I stayed there with my daughter and two granddaughters. We boogie boarded, at low tide we found all sorts of sea creatures and walked the whole length... More

To start off, the only positive thing that this motel has going for it is its location right on the beach. But other than that, I wholeheartedly agree with everything that Tim J wrote, and I also am sorry to be posting a negative review. Just returned from one night at this motel and we will never return. When we... More
