The rooms are lovely - the view is amazing - the staff are courteous and helpful. The restaurant also had a lovely view and the food was great. It was an excellent way to finish off our visit to Massachusetts. We didn't want to leave! We will definitely return to Ocean View Inn and Resort

My wife and I attended a wedding at the Ocean View Inn. The wedding was very well done and enjoyable. Our room however was another story. Our room was on the ground floor and the entrance to our room was blocked by a puddle (it hadn't rained in a couple of days) with trash floating in it. And to make... More

We stayed one night and were greeted with (and it was in the middle of a wedding event, I realize), NO "hello, welcome to the hotel", but instead "CAN I SEE YOUR CREDIT CARD??!!!" quite abruptly. and rude. Room was standard, but smelled moldy; very old, needs lots of TLC. Sliders were locked and permanently closed. We had an oceanfront,... More

We visited this venue to do the food tasting to choose the meal for the wedding. My daughter had already booked it and I was delighted that she asked me to come along. The food was delicious, very appealing to look at and served with smiles. Such a hard choice between all that they offered. The historical building has ties... More

I had my dream wedding in June 2012 in the Ocean view manor for a small party of around 35 people. This review reflects my entire wedding experience as a bride and not as a traveler renting a room. I have to admit, as soon as I entered the Ocean View manor, I knew that that was were I would... More

We traveled to Gloucester for a wedding, and this was the recommended hotel stay... while the staff was friendly, and the food was great, the actual accommodations of this place was horrible, especially when I felt that the rooms were extremely overpriced. Our group rate was $179/night before taxes, and while that is reasonable for an ocean front stay, the... More

I stayed there this summer for a wedding. While the view, the front desk staff, and the food were amazing, that is where the positive points end. Starting with the room: it was dirty, there were bugs, there was a hole in the window where the wall just didn't meet, the bathroom didn't even have a toilet paper holder. And... More

Unfortunately this hotel was chosen by USA friends so we neglected to check it out before making an on-line booking from the UK. The dark, scruffy back entrance should have warned us of what was to come. The young 'manager' didn't offer to help with our bags but did tell us how to operate the antiquated lift to the 3rd...

We recently attended a wedding at the Ocean View and the wedding was beautiful. The set up was great, the food was amazing, and the staff was extremely friendly. Everyone was dancing, drinking and celebrating until the wee hours of the am. Everything was perfect until I set foot in my room. I doubt this room had been cleaned ever.... More
