Hampton Inn Gloucester

8/10 Good
"Overall this was a great choice. I was visiting family nearby and didn't spend a lot of time in the hotel, so I gave a good rating for some of the categories as I didn't get to try them. The hotel was easy to find and located very near an outdoor shopping mall with good chain restaurant choices, a Walmart, TJ Maxx and other stores. Within walking distance of the hotel are a Wendy's and Chipotle. The area felt very safe. Check-in was great, the lobby is very clean. The hotel staff were friendly. When we got to our room, there was a slight bleach smell and I would rather that than a moldy smell. The bathroom and room were clean and lots of towels. Beds were very comfortable. I didn't eat the breakfast, my son did and said it was great. I would definitely stay here again."

Cottage on a Private Island in the York River

10/10 Excellent
"A delightful island cottage with beautiful views of York River. The place was pet-friendly as our 2 fur-babies were welcomed. We enjoyed the peace and quiet of the cottage, along with the sights and sounds of the local wildlife. The cottage was clean with comfortable furniture and well-equipped kitchen. The front porch and back deck were just perfect for sitting, enjoying the breezes, and watching the views of life on the river. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and highly recommend renting this cottage. We do plan to try to return next year."
