    Pros +

    • Lovely historic Inn and right on the ocean! Staff was very good. Special shout out to Hotel employee who served us a wonderful breakfast every morning and the chef who's breakfast each morning was perfect and delicious.
    • Friendly, clean with beautifully decorated rooms and an amazing view! The breakfast was excellent.
    • character and charm. Stunning panoramic views and landscaping along the sea wall and entire estate was full of nature, beauty and calm and relaxing The breakfast was in a charming dining room and delicious and so appealing. Perfect retreat for my husband.

    Cons -

    • Only negative was our room which was nice but the bathroom was separated into small bathroom with sink and toilet and the shower was on the other side of the armoire and pretty tight. Also we could have used more flat space for toiletries.
    • It smelled a little funky. Lots of stairs to climb. Expensive and not worth the money spent.
    • The General Manager was very surly and obnoxious. It is perfectly OK to decline requests from guests - but if you are in the service industry, you need to learn how to do it in a polite and friendly manner.

    I like the breakfast in the morning and the ocean view

    It smelled a little funky. Lots of stairs to climb. Expensive and not worth the money spent.

    I loved everything about this inn. The staff was lovely, very friendly, and fun. I felt right a home. The room was adorable with an amazing view, very clean. Breakfast was amazing, you won’t leave hungry. The Yankee Clipper Inn deserves a 5 star rating.

    Its location is beautiful and serene. Great place for a vacation. The breakfast was delicious, and the breakfast room had fantastic views !

    The proximity to the waterfront, the delicious breakfast, and the hospitable staff. Hotel Employee went above and beyond to assure that we had a comfortable stay, and guided us to great excursions nearby.

    Nothing to report

    An antique filled bed and breakfast. Lovely setting on the water. Friendly staff. Nice outdoor pool. Fabulous made to order breakfast in a lovely sun room overlooking the sea. Close to Rockport center and a short drive to some great beaches.

    It didn't bother us at all but people should be aware there is no elevator. This is an older historic home.

    Great room, comfortable bed, good shower, plenty of hot water. Great view, great location, minutes from town.I couldn't find anything to complain about

    Carpets were a little dirty and could use a good cleaning or replaced.

    10RobertPosted on: 8-14-2021

    I think we most liked the setting. We don¿t believe you can find better views or to be so close to the ocean.

    I don¿t believe there was anything that we didn¿t like about our stay at the Yankee Clipper Inn

    8Verified Hotel GuestPosted on: 8-24-2017

    The ocean views were great.

    Over priced for the room.

    10Verified Hotel GuestPosted on: 7-3-2017

    This place is awesome! It should be at least 4 stars, not 3.
