Very clean room, stayed in 2 queen room - young family of 4. Was large but basic when comparing to others we’ve stayed at on same road trip (Hilton/ Hampton inn etc). The shower took a while to heat up, room was quite warm without aircon on - was covered by the curtains. However was free parking, beds were v comfy and we enjoyed our stay. Convenient check in even if arrive after 6pm - we arrived just on 6 and keys left in the mailbox for self check in. Convenient location with v short drive to heart of Gloucester. Enjoyed our stay and for the price would stay again.

We stayed in the lower motor lodge. It has a beautiful view of the river. The room was very clean, quiet and the bed was very comfortable. The room had been recently remodeled. The staff were very friendly. It was not a fancy $$$ place but it was perfect for our needs.

Room was clean and cooled down for our arrival. Staff was friendly and accommodating for storing our bikes, providing a freezer to refreeze ice packs and ice for our cooler while in the hotel. Bottled water was available and plenty of local info on where to eat, walk, site see, etc. Breakfast is only available on the weekend and we visited during the week - sorry we missed it as we know from our stay last year that it is delicious. Coffee in the morning is excellent, especially when enjoyed on the front porch in a rocker with a book!

Classic, old school charm. Room was recently renovated. Clean modern shower. Basic amenities. Could have used a few more outlets for convenience. Window air conditioning was quite loud but did the trick on hot days. Staff was friendly and helpful. Door lock was a little tricky to get it open. Other than that it was quite nice!

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Castle Manor Inn. Our room was large, bright and airy, with a beautiful view. As you might expect when staying in a castle, the rooms were about bit quirky, with some unusual angles, but I found it endearing. My room was recently renovated with a modern bathroom that was beautiful and clean. Five stars! The only shortcoming I found was the lack of a hair dryer.
