Cons:

Ce n’est pas possible de nous annoncer que le petit déjeuner est inclus dans cet hôtel. Ce petit déjeuner est totalement inadmissible. Il vaudrait mieux ne pas l’annoncer du tout. C’est vraiment un point très négatif pour cet hôtel.

Pros:

Older hotel with great views of the harbor. Easy onsite parking. Free breakfast and wine and cheese service late afternoon. Nice pool area overlooking the harbor. Not close to restaurants or shopping, though (15-20 minute walk). Good central location for exploring the other Cape Cod towns.

Pros:

The rooms are old and dirty. There was mold in the de-humidifiers, our floors were damp and dirty, beds were mid...I would not recommend or stay at this place again.

Pros:

Property location is excellent - on the harbor but short drive/walking distance to Main Street with many shops/restaurants. Plenty of parking. Staff is very friendly! We were greeted with a nice welcome and a tour of the property. We were given great restaurant suggestions! Common areas were fresh and looked to have been updated recently. Our room was on the second floor with only stair access. We are both seniors and it took some effort to get our luggage up/down to/from our room. The room was spacious and clean with a safe balcony that had a nice view of the harbor. The beds were comfortable and clean and there was plenty of seating and storage in the room and on the balcony (seating). There was a strong smell of cleaning products in the room. The room could use a bit of a refresh - paint was scuffed in several areas and it was difficult to access the coffee maker due to very little space. The water pressure in the shower was light so it took a while to thoroughly rinse my long-ish hair. At check-in they offer a choice of daily housekeeping or a basket of towels, coffee, toilet paper, etc. be left at the room. We liked that we had options! We chose a basket. We left our room at 8:30 and returned around 1 and we were happy to see the basket (bag) was by the door when we arrived. Unfortunately, the bag had only fresh towels, nothing else. Free breakfast offered good variety. No recycle bins in our room. Didn't notice any in the common areas either.
