Pros:

Hallway and room were very musty. A/C in room was filthy, smelt horrible, and could not be used. The bed sloped off to one side and should be replaced. Considered leaving in the middle of the night to find comfortable accommodations.

Pros:

We stayed on the third-floor of the main house; it was probably one of the worst rooms we have ever stayed in over 30 years of traveling. The room was run down and the bathroom was a joke. The bathroom was makeshift and dirty. This old house has potential. However, the room we were provided should not be rented out until it receives a major make-over.

Pros:

Room was not serviced once, neither got clean towls or bedding the 3 nights i was there. Aircon wasnt working and there's no reception so you dont wanna go hassle the owners in their cottage all the time. Floor full of sand when i walked barefoot and dust everywhere so dont expect a clean room and no service

Pros:

I paid for a queen and got a full size bed. Said there would be a kitchenette and did not have that option either. No one wa son property to receive any accommodations such as fresh towels. Body wash bottle was half full and glass in bathroom was not clean either.

Old doesn’t have to mean run down.
Pros:

This place has a world of potential. Beautiful location and layout. But the rooms full of mold, rust, bugs (fork tails) and a large slug (pic below) and because of all of that the smell of mildew was very strong.
Never met anyone to check in or check out. Really a shame and way overpriced for the motel 6 quality.

Pros:

We made a last minute reservation at the Copper Swan and we couldn’t have made a better choice. The property is old but beautifully maintained and clean. Short walk into Wellfleet center for shopping and activities. We had dinner at Wicked Oyster which is right next door. We will be back..!!

Pros:

The owner was very responsive to our needs. We are in our 80s and like to read at night, so the owner replaced the 60 watt bulbs with 100 watt ones and brought in a floor lamp, which was very welcome! The owner also personally helped when the internet password provided didn’t work. One of the attractions posted for this property was that a breakfast basket would be provided outside the door in the mornings, but this was changed so that breakfast would be served in their restaurant,which was just opened. The offerings were limited because it was just opening, and we didn’t find much that met our need for low-fat low-cholesterol diet (the oatmeal in the menu wasn’t yet available).
I think most people would have enjoyed the standard breakfast items they offered.

The restaurants and shopping nearby were great. The Wicked Oyster is excellent and literally next door. Mac’s Shack is a few blocks away and deservedly very popular.

The main building where we stayed is decorated with charming pictures and furniture, and there are chairs on the screened in porch and lawn furniture. Our king size bed was comfortable, though a bit high, so we had to learn to get up into it and slide down to get out!

Not great.
Pros:

It was a smelly garage turned into a room. There was a bad smell of mildew and I got sick. There were bugs in the room and a window ac that left open space for insects. Owners left a cute breakfast basket. Never any wifi to access.

Pros:

The place was exactly what you'd expect staying in an old home like this. My only complaint was the bed. I don't know if it was the floors or the actual bed itself, but it leaned to one side like the supports underneath were broken. Luckily it was a solo trip for me, if i was sharing the bed it definitely would have been a problem.

Pros:

The staff was amazing and the copper swan was quite through out the day and has amazing scenery and plenty of lounging areas outside to read a book under the leaves. The place we stayed in was very clean and felt like home.

Wonderful place! A great restaurant next door and Main Street was quaint and charming. Simple and relaxing. I’m glad I stayed outside of Provincetown and did the drive in. I stayed in the captains room. Very comfy

Pros:

We were greeted by John (the owner?). He's very personable and sincere. John noticed that I had mobility problems and, on his own initiative, moved my wife and me to a room that was more accessible than the one we had booked. John also gave us some good dining tips. A very nice person in every way.

Pros:

I rarely write negative reviews. This place deserves a negative review. I stayed in the Carriage House. Temperature 61-63 degrees. No way to heat it. Breakfast came for one rather than two. It was a rotten banana and a muffin. There is no front desk or attendant. When we complained to the groundskeeper, the only person around. He said, if we had complained earlier, we would have been given a heater. It was rainy and cold outside. No one thought to give us a heater. If you have to complain to get normal things, there is something wrong with the place.
