Top hotels in Downtown Gloucester
Beauport Hotel Gloucester
What a beautiful hotel! The lobby bar and restaurant are top notch! The room was wonderful and the bed was comfortable. My only issue was the lack of outlets in the room for plugging in chargers. Every outlet is occupied. Bring an extension cord of you want to charge anything.

The rooms were very clean. We had an issue with heat in the first room we were checked into, but when they saw they couldn't fix it right away they switched our room. Thank you!
