We stayed in a nice effiiciency, spacious enough for a family of 4. The complimentary breakfast was the usual donuts/pastries/cereals but the variety was nice. Also liked the pool and pool towels with a view of the beach. Great views and easy access to beach, it's just across the road. The Vista also offered discounted parking passes for the beach--nice... more

We wanted a quick "We have never have been to Gloucester" getaway (From Hartford CT) for a Saturday night. Many hotels/ inns in the Rockport/ Gloucester area have a minimum 2 night stay and many were already booked. Fortunately the Vista didn’t have a minimum and wasn’t filled. I booked through calling the motel directly. The woman asked me if... more

The hotel was very nice and the view was great. When we arrived I paid for 2 rooms with my credit card and they put the money on hold which was fine. Upon leaving, the desk clerk assured me that when the charge is put through the money would then come off hold and go against the charge. Come to... more

Hadn't seen any reviews on AAA or TripAdvisor on the motel and was concerned it might be a dump. It was only mentioned in CapeAnnVacations.com. It was a very pleasant surprise. All rooms overlooking the water, patios outside the rooms. Very pleasant staff, pool, passes available for the beach (about 1/4 - 1/2 mile away). Rooms were dated. Refrigerators in... more

My wife and I stayed here 7/24-7/28. Everybody associated with the motel was extremely nice and knowledgable of the area. Well kept rooms- wonderful donuts, cakes ,cereal and coffee at breakfast time. Great beach right nearby with a $10 parking discount given to guests. Great recommendations for dinner and directions to nearby towns. more

My family and I stayed at the Vista for 5 nights. It was fabulous! We have usually rented houses at Good Harbor Beach and this was by far the most relaxing week we've had in Gloucester. The rooms are spacious and clean. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The hotel is very family friendly with games for the kids,... more

The Vista is a very nice place to stay when you're visiting Gloucester. The view from the motel is second to none and you're within walking distance to Good Harbor Beach. Good Harbor Beach is one of the best beaches you'll ever see. Little kids will love the pond, created when the tide goes out. Lots of little fish and... more

Very nice staff and gigantic, clean rooms! I got a free upgrade to a huge, 2 bed room (with mini fridge!) at the end of the hotel. It was completely quiet and best of all, it smelled clean. Despite obviously having not been renovated (decor is cute and retro) this room did NOT smell like cigarette smoke, which is a... more

Recently we spent one night at the Vista. Very nice and welcoming people at the office any time we went in. We were upgraded to an efficiency which was a very large room with a balcony that looked out to the ocean. Local road construction was a bit of a challenge, but that was not the fault of the hotel.... more
