Top Downtown Gloucester Hotel Reviews

Sonesta Select Boston Danvers

10/10 Excellent

"Clean and always love having full kitchen."

Hawthorne Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is located in a really convenient area with free parking for guests which is a huge perk. The room was decently clean- there was a gummy bear and chewing tobacco pouch on the floor which we threw away. Aside from that it was clean. The tub was a little difficult to get in and out of. We requested a mini fridge which they said they would send up and it never arrived. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would return. Staff were pleasant every time we interacted with them."

The Northshore Hotel - Boston/Danvers

8/10 Good

"Very nice room- super comfortable and clean. Staff was lovely. I had to ask for the linens for the fold away which was fine. There wasn’t any extra toilet paper and only one small garbage pail. I’d have liked one I. The bathroom as well. The breakfast was limited but quoted us fine. If you are trying to cut carbs in anyway it’s a no but the coffee was lovely."
