Room was clean and comfortable with a nice view.
My only gripe was having no iron and board for ironing clothes before going out.
We didn't have breakfast so i really don't know how that would have gone.
I liked the location being close to downtown.
Staff was awesome.

An older property close to town. Very convenient to all activities. Knowledgeable staff. We had the breakfast buffet on Sunday (only served on Saturday and Sunday). It was fresh, tasty and priced appropriately. We stayed in one of the “motel type” wings near the water. It offered beautiful views across the marsh and fantastic sunrises! Overall, a reasonably priced good accommodation close by town yet away from the crowds.

Warm and welcoming staff that carefully explained how to use the keys. We stayed for one night in the main house for a fourth of July wedding. Found the room and king bed charming and well appointed, with a view overlooking the bay. The private bathroom with walk in shower was absolutely sparking clean and modern. With fantastic water pressure to boot! There was an air conditioning unit in the bedroom that kept the room wonderfully cool and created just the right level of white noise. The bedding and pillows were comfortable… it was a nice little getaway. We did not try the breakfast but it looked and smelled wonderful.

The Castle Manor Inn is a charming, family-owned property in a beautiful location with a gorgeous view of the Anasquam River. I had a last minute booking and got the last available room in the motel extension. At first I was disappointed not to get to stay in the beautiful Victorian house, but the motel is perched above the river and had a lovely view from the room and a private, covered area to sit outside and enjoy a beautiful summer evening with the sounds of birds and spring peepers, so the motel has its advantages! The AC kept the room nice and cool, and I was able to walk down to a restaurant on the marina for a wonderful seafood meal. The owner was so kind and friendly and gave me great local recommendations. It felt good to stay in a family-owned establishment where the owners take great pride in their inn and their community and genuinely enjoy interacting with their guests. The price was reasonable even as a last minute booking in the busy season. A great placed to stay all around!

All the staff were very friendly and went out of their way to be helpful. John at the front desk was amazing! He provided us with insider’s knowledge as to what and how to visit in Gloucester and Rockport.

The West Wing room and bath were modern, clean and quiet. Parking right in front of the room- very accessible. We decided to turn off the room air and open the window (which looked like it hadn’t been open in a few years). Still nice breeze.

Downtown is little too far to walk, but plenty of parking near restaurants and the harbor.

Next time we might reserve a room in the manor!

The display is for a nice and remarkable hotel however they add the name motor lodge to the room for which you are accommodated in a separate entity not related to the hotel in the pictures which is a terrible, cheap and smelly cabinet. At first sight I thought it was like an indoor garage for cars next to the hotel. I found this confusing and deceiving and I believe these properties should be separated on the website. It was a very disappointing experience.

Room was ready earlier than check in time and we couldn’t register to go in. We had a wedding to attend and get ready for and we were still not allowed to enter the room even though it was clean. It was the only place that had a room available that night so we had to take it but would not stay there again.

We stayed for 1 night and have no complaints. The view was beautiful and everything was clean. My only suggestion would be adding a table or some type of additional counter space in the bathroom. The bathroom was very spacious and clean but had nowhere to place toiletries. Overall I would recommend staying here. Spacious and clean.

We liked the location of the inn. The view from our rooms was relaxing and interesting with all of the boat traffic in the distance.
We were only a few minutes from downtown Glouchester.
We had a handicapped family member and we were able to book 2 adjoining rooms in the motel lower level of the inn.
The rooms were clean and efficient but we would have liked more mirrors and maybe a table.

The room was clean and neat, with some art. There was a small fridge and coffee maker. I loved the deck off the room overlooking the marsh. I enjoyed sitting out there in the morning listening to the birds and feeling the cool breeze. I didn't realize the breakfast that is available, a substantial buffet, was not included in the room price. We opted to walk to a local breakfast place instead, about a mile away. The hotel is not that far from downtown, very quick drive.

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Castle Manor Inn. Our room was large, bright and airy, with a beautiful view. As you might expect when staying in a castle, the rooms were about bit quirky, with some unusual angles, but I found it endearing.
My room was recently renovated with a modern bathroom that was beautiful and clean. Five stars!
The only shortcoming I found was the lack of a hair dryer.

The rooms were very clean. The staff was informative and very accommodating.
We were there very early and John let us check into our room because it was already made up! That was a real bonus!

Beautiful inn with a lovely view. Rooms were exceptionally clean and had a full size balcony to be enjoyed. Plenty of parking and pleasant staff. Conveniently located off the highway and near the event I attended.

My one major complaint was no mention from the staff or signage that the buffet breakfast was NOT included as part of your stay. I had to do a deep dive into the listing on hotels.com to discover the fee. It would be helpful to have a sign in the breakfast area mentioning this. I felt ambushed when I was handed the bill.

We had the family suite and our friends had one of the tower or turret rooms below. Both were sunny and spacious. Both rooms seemed recently renovated and in great clean condition. Nice view over some wetlands, and a nice patio and porch around the mansion.

I booked this hotel at last minute while on a road trip. I honestly wish I could have stayed more than one night. I slept great. When I arrived to the hotel later in the evening I had a couple of issues which they were very quick to fix. I booked one of the rooms with a water view. It was beautiful and calming to wake up to. I would stay again! I felt safe, I found the room to be comfortable and quiet.

The facility was lovely and perfectly located so that it was easy to get to various destinations. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Sadly the only downside was the bathroom is lacking in some key items. It would be helpful if there were hooks on the back of the door to hang things on. It would also be helpful to have a shelf to put toiletries, especially if there are more than one people. It would be nice to be able to heat hot water, not just coffee. Aside from these items, we were very pleased and plan on coming back.

It wasn’t just no frills, it was bare bones. We’re talking window shades that don’t pull down so there’s no privacy and also no blocking the light out in the morning. There were no tables beside the bed. Nothing pretty in the room at all. And the noise at 6:00 am! Maybe our room was above the kitchen but the staff didn’t even try to be quiet. Loud voices, stuff banging around, etc. This place was like something out of a bad movie! Very disappointed ☹️

The weekend breakfast was amazing! The staff were very friendly and helpful to all patrons. The room was clean and inviting. We loved staying in one of the many rooms in the main house. Not only is the town quaint, it is only a short drive away from Salem and other parks in the area. Definitely worth the visit and would recommend to anyone who is looking for a unique stay!

Staff was very nice and helpful with late check-in. Room was very clean, big comfortable bed, and lovely view from the balcony. Only complaint is that the walls are very thin and we could hear the people next door very loudly, and could hear outside very loud as well. Overall positive experience and would book again.

This is a beautiful property but there are few rooms in the large bldg, and the east and west wings are not as nice. The bathroom window screen had a tear in it and there was no bathroom fan. Additionally, the creamer in the room was expired and curdled. It was ok but not worth the price.

Not as anticipated. We did not stay in the historic mansion but instead in a crappy hotel room. First room had debris in the beds. Second room had paint peeling from the ceiling, ripped shower curtain, and a spider living in the bathroom. Heard every step that the upstairs patron made. Owner claimed that cleaners came daily however the dust on the keurig begs to differ. Extremely disappointed in spending so much money on a bad motel room. Would not recommend.

We booked on Hotels.com and the picture shows a big old historic house. Be aware you are likely going to stay in a 1950’s era motor lodge motel. It was…okay, but we were a bit surprised to be directed to a sort of run down building that was no where in their picture of the hotel.

Came in after 6 and it was dark and raining so didn’t see the grounds.
Couldn’t get the heater to work in my room so employee Dan moved me to another room
in the main building. He was so accommodating and helpful. Climbed the stairway to heaven in a room that is absolutely beautiful! Thank you so much for a wonderful night after a long day.

Property is little bit away the ocean front. But we had a car, so that was no problem.
The Don, and his daughter were very friendly and helpful with suggestions and recommendations which were excellent for dinner and breakfast. The room was on the second floor above the entrance; was large with king size bed and private bathroom. Very nice.!

What would make it better is if they offered breakfast for their guests. Unfortunately that is not offered at this time; only on the weekends. This is clearly spelled out on their website. So no surprise. If we ever come to Glouster in the future we would definitely use the Castle Manor Inn again. Thank you!
