“Comfortable stay in Gloucester”
I liked the room size which was spacious. Glad it came with an ice bucket and wine glasses, coffeemaker too. Welcome the option to collect ice (for free) to beat the summer heat. The staff Tia and Robin were both warm and helpful! Mike was great too!

“Comfortable hotel with a very nice sea view.”
The room and the beds were large and the view was exceptional. Our room was clean and comfortable, and as was in the first floor we could easily handle our luggage. The room has a nice terrace with sea view

“Dated but the location is nice.”
Travel back in time when you arrive at the Vista. I stayed there 15 years ago and it hasn't changed, the same worn carpets in the rooms, furniture you will find in thrift stores, and mattresses that must be pre-war production. The breakfast is also the same as 15 years ago, banana bread and blueberry muffins. But on the positive side and probably the only reason to chose this hotel is the location looking out in the ocean.
