Needs updates

I'm have been a flight attendant for 46 years and needless to say I have stayed in thousands of hotel. I will give an honest review of the property. At check in the receptionist was wonderful. Very knowledgeable and professional. Upon entering the room I was a little disappointed at the size of the room, especially the bathroom. In my opinion it could have been much better designed as far as the layout. The view from my room #2 was partially obscured by two large trees on the property below the hotel. The shower in the bathroom was so small that I would imagine a person of size would have a difficult time. The breakfast was very minimal. I actually didn't return for the breakfast the second morning because it only consisted of Costco croissants and activa yogurt and fruit. (Banana or apple was offered). The overall property is exceptionally maintained. There are 2 major grocery stores very close by which was great. For me once was enough at this hotel. If I ever return to Gloucester I will look elsewhere.
