Beauport Hotel Gloucester

Beauport Hotel Gloucester

8/10 Good
"We booked for a family of 2 adults and 2 children. When booking we were not advised that children are not allowed at the pool. I researched the hotel website, and had to hunt for the disclaimer. I feel we should have been told at booking and could have made an educated decision whether to stay there or search for more kid friendly amenities. That said, the kids where thrilled with the white chocolate starfish candy at on their pillow. Beautiful hotel. I would return with adults only."
