A continental breakfast with bread products and fruit was a nice offering. (3 reviews)
Great location just a minute from the beach and also a short walk to town. Loved they had beach chairs, umbrellas, and towels available to borrow. Room was basic but had everything we needed.

Great property great staff. Can not speak for renovated rooms but older unrenovated “rustic” rooms are a bit small but well priced for the area and room size. Floor in hallway was very slanted. Water was either burning hot or freezing cold. amenities were thoughtful but implemented oddly. Bed was on metal frame with plywood. Door was very thin. All being said the stay was comfortable and generally worth the price for the 2 minute walk to the beach and 10 minute walk to downtown Chatham. Definitely the best value

This was a very quaint inn, close to the water and very walkable to town. The staff was fantastic. The bathroom could use some updating along with places to hang up clothes. Saying all that, I would stay again.

Beautifully situated on a charming quiet street VERY close to a secluded beach. The room was clean well laid out, the lobby and porch were comfortable. For the price, there should have been maid service. At the very least, emptying of the teeny waste baskets and supplying of fresh towels.

Hidden Gem
Anyone who gives this place a bad review is a picky binch. Rooms are clean and comfortable, property is adorable, proximity to beach spectacular, staff delightful. Yes, it's not the Chatham Bars, but it's also not Bars' prices, so get over it.

Super cute property on a quiet side road. It's outdated, though that gives it most of its charm. Staff were super friendly and was greeted with wine and cheese when we arrived. The only issue was that I was not expecting the stairs to be so steep (was traveling with an older person). Right near the beach and walking distance to downtown Chatham.

Value oriented, well
Located (beach about 2 mins and downtown the other way 5 mins). Staff was attentive and friendly. Clean, well taken care of. This is not a high end hotel despite its high end location. You’ll find clean, updated rooms. Bit of a throwback when you could bring a family to a Chatham and not break the bank (and be treated fairly).

Good location - walkable to the beach. Friendly manager/front desk. They offer a Continental breakfast and afternoon wine in the public area. However, this is a historic building and the walls/floors are really thin. I got to hear all kinds of fun things from my upstairs neighbors—from snoring to conversations to sex. No daily maid service; they said it was "upon request," so I requested that the bed be made. Still no service. Would not stay here again.

While the location and the common areas were perfect, the room was tiny and the bathroom was ridiculously small with barely any access to the toilet. The view was spectacular but a dorm room is bigger than this one. Also, I specified that it was for 2 adults and a 17 year old. We knew it was only one queen bed but assumed there would be a sofa or somewhere for the third person. There was nothing. Just the hard, uneven, old hardwood floor. We thought it would be "quaint" but not this rustic. Especially for the price.
