This review is specifically for the Oceanfront Breakfast Cafe…read more While we have stayed at the Inn several times, we continue to come back for the Breakfast Cafe. When they say the best breakfast in Gloucester, it's not an exaggeration! The couple that owns the Inn/Cafe are very hospitable and welcoming people. I've been visiting for the past 15+ years and every stay and meal has always been exceptional. Additionally, the staff they hire and employ is equally committed. It is truly a five-star operation. We were recently up in the area visiting Gloucester and Rockport. As always, one of those mornings meant we had to stop at Atlantis Oceanfront Cafe! It is a MUST. I almost hate letting this gem/secret out. It is the best place for breakfast with the very best view. It is post-card perfect. Your window table overlooks the rocks+water and you can visually see and hear the waves crashing against the rocks. It doesn't get much more picturesque or scenic than that! While the menu has changed a bit since my last visit, the quality has not. The breakfast portions are very generous and everything is of the highest quality. Our favorite is the eggs Benedict. Those perfectly poached eggs resting on top of those bakery-quality English muffins. The tender Canadian bacon. The perfect amount of creamy, perfectly seasoned hollandaise sauce. The side of tender and perfectly seasoned breakfast potatoes. It doesn't get any better than that in my book! Another favorite of mine is their GIANT Fresh Blueberry Pancakes. They remind me greatly of every childhood trip to the Atlantis and Gloucester. I've always told my family if I had to have one last breakfast, let's hope Atlantis Cafe is in season! I am not joking either! Service is always top priority. Friendly and expeditious. The kitchen is open to the dining room and their culinary takes true pride in every plate they put out. If you're looking for the best breakfast with the best view in Gloucester, Atlantis Oceanfront is the place. I did notice the secret has gotten out as of late! We did have a short 15-minute wait this last visit. Parking can also be challenging given the lot size and guest/staff vehicles parked for the Inn. The patience is worth the reward! Best Breakfast in Gloucester. Period. Wonderful, Involved Owners.

This review is only for the Atlantis oceanfront cafe that is part of the inn…read more Service was spot on where we were greeted by the hostess who was very courteous and accommodating for part of 7. They pulled some tables and chairs together to fit us all in a row. The setting and ambiance is very diner like with the address of the great ocean view. The menu was only one page but had all the essentials for a great breakfast. The waitress was quick off the mark to grab our drink orders. The coffee nice a hot, good cup of joe. 5/5 Fish cakes and eggs - I wanted to try something unique and they had this spectacular dish on menu. The fish cakes contained fresh chunks of fish and was seasoned just right. It wasn't too salty so went well with the spinach. The home fries were good and eggs over easy were done perfectly. The soft egg yolk broke and oozed just fine over the fish cakes. Definitely will come back again for breakfast when in the area.

A front row seat to the ocean is fabulous. The rooms are nicely decorated and comfortable. However,…read morethe bathrooms are teeny-tiny- one hook on door, one tiny shelf above toilet. If you want a bath towel to dry out, it has to be set out on balcony (hope it isn't raining). The continental breakfast is awful. Thawed frozen, bland small muffins, greasy, deep fried? stuffed crescent rolls are inedible. Had to go next door for a descent breakfast. The corporation that now owns the hotel can so easily fix these issues. More shelves in bathroom, more hangers in closet, in-house/homemade prepared food (like before the corp takeover). The location can't be beat especially being able to walk to Good Harbor Beach.

We hope to see an improvement next time, because we love the location - a five-minute walk to the beach. One positive note: their restaurant is excellent - a great breakfast.

It's about 7 minutes to Good Habor Beach, and about the same distance to downtown Rockport, 15 minutes from the marina's in Gloucester.

My wife and I stayed here for three nights (Thu-Sun), since we were in the area for a wedding. We were greeted warmly and given a room on the second floor with a gas fireplace. The room was beautiful, clean, quiet, and everything in the room worked perfectly, i.e. hot water, air conditioning, television, etc. The housekeeping staff did a great job of keeping our room comfortable and stocked with supplies. The Inn is located in town so just walk out and enjoy the shops, restaurants, Fort Sewall, or walk down to water and take a boat ride. Walking through town and the side streets will make you think you were back in the 1700's. There is free parking in their private lot and a complimentary buffet breakfast each morning which consisted of cereal, bagels, muffins, English muffins, yogurt, oatmeal, coffee, tea, etc. Everything was fresh. There are multiple common areas with a fireplace, a bar, and a pool. My wife and I enjoyed a nice beverage before dinner in their quaint and cozy bar. This was a great option to Salem where there is plenty of drama and busy. Is it pricey? Yes. Worth every penny. This was our third trip to Marblehead and we already know where we are staying next time.

I wish we didn't have to leave! The rooms downstairs are so nice for spending downtime in, we really enjoyed ourselves. I never sleep well traveling and I slept perfectly here.

Our main goal for this trip was to visit Salem, which is about a 20 minute uber ride from the hotel. We found it really convenient. I would definitely stay here again.
