Pros +
- The hotel was clean and well-maintained, and walking distance to the beach.
- Clean and well kept
- Loved the walk in shower. Breakfast was not served but you could get coffee in the lobby. There was no interaction with staff unless you had a question. Your room key and receipt was in your room when you checked in after receiving room number in an email.
Cons -
- Location
- During our weekend stay, we found a number of bugs crawling around in our room. The rest of the room was clean, and comfortable. The contactless check-in and check-out processes were a breeze. I would have given the hotel 5 stars all around, it was a perfect spot for our weekend getaway, though the bugs found among our things were unsettling.
- Pillows are old and should be replaced. Not enough toiletries for stay.

Very comfortable stay for a reasonable price in a nice location on Cape Cod. Owner is very nice and provided suggestions of where to go.
Clean and well maintained throughout the property. Nice clean pool.
Pillows are old and should be replaced. Not enough toiletries for stay.
Nicely maintained exterior. Plenty of space in room.
You could hear every noise like it was in your room. Towels were small and didn’t smell great. Room a bit tired.
Great pool and friendly staff. Kids loved the free Pop-Tarts
We could have used two keys but didn't ask for a second.
Clean room, easy check-in, quiet, nice pool, nice staff, close to Chatham and Harwich.
My hairdryer didn’t work (room 25) and towels need updating and freshening.
It was perfect. Great location, close to beach and downtown Harwich. Perfect sized pool.
It was great.
I got there early for a wedding rehearsal that started at 3. They let me check in at 12:30, which was perfect after driving almost 3 hours. This place is a hidden gem! Very clean!, AC kept the room ice cold and bed was comfortable. Loved that its centrally located and everything you need is only a 10 -15 min drive. I will definitely be staying here again!
Location was good assembled to surrounding places
It could use a bit of a upgrade carpet needs to be taken out..
The location, the cleanliness
Lumpy mattresses, very poor soundproofing in the rooms
Very quiet and clean. Location was great.
Towels were a little small and not soft but manageable
Clean. Comfortable. Great location.
No ice machine.
Good room sizeCleanVery hospitable staff
No real complaints tbh.Would be nice if the pool was open, or if there were other fitness facilities nearby given the price.
The bed was comfortable and the room was clean. Location was good for our plans.
The towels were like sandpaper, no tissues and wifi was poor.
picnic area, pool, quiet
Convenient. Fairly priced. Had decent reviews.
Could have been cleaner for my liking.
