It's quite a sweet property and my room, a King Suite, was lovely and well appointed. However, major problems with communication. The Expedia page does note the front desk isn't staffed 24/7 - what's not explained is that there's no one around EVER, not even during business hours. This being the case, the property should be diligent about clear guest communication. Is checkout at 10 or 11 AM? I'm still not sure - Expedia site and guest notes in the room say different things. And of course, no way to ask anyone for clarification. It should be noted that the Executive Suite I was in was on the 3rd floor of a walk-up (no elevator). This should have been communicated in advance as it would make a different in how large a suitcase one brings - and of course, no one around to give you a hand with luggage so guests are left to drag suitcases up 3 storeys themselves. Had I known in advance, I would not have booked the suite - not fun to run up and down 2 flights of stairs repeatedly in heels during my work trip. I had no idea how to pay for my stay on my checkout day and spent 20 minutes looking around for staff (they send you an email afterward telling you to "check out online" by putting your credit card info in). Still haven't figured out how to get a proper receipt to claim as a business expense, despite messaging the property (no response as of yet). Poor communication and lack of details relayed made it a stressful stay. Too bad, as it would otherwise be a lovely spot.

Quaint inn in a quaint town. In a renovated historical building. Room was clean and comfortable with a mini fridge and some complimentary snacks and drinks. No on-sight reception staff a lot of the time and entry doors use a passcode.

Very comfortable, clean and bright. Walls a bit thin so ran the AC at night as white noise. Just steps away from restaurants and gift shops as well as the museum. Would stay here again!

There is no staff at this property. Everything on line. Doors have key pad locks. This may be a turn off for most, but we were fine with it. I had trouble with the lock but my call was answered and the problem was taken care of. Turns out the room door lock does not work until 3pm unless you request it earlier. We arrived at 2:55 pm. .

We reserved this property off Expedia. We were looking for a reservation about an hour from Yarmouth. The price was a factor that lead to our choice. We had to check in electronically, before we arrived and were sent a text with room codes the day of arrival. When we got there, there was limited lighting outside and the stairs were of odd size and dangerous. The exterior is in need of a paint job, and the parking was on the street or an ancillary lot that we were afraid to try and access because of the low clearance on our Spyders. We found the room codes did not work and called the number for service. They were able to give us the code used previously and it did work (but did not leave me feeling good). There is no one on property at all, but there is a kitchen area that leads you to believe that there is the possibility of food service; however there is none. All rooms are on the second floor and there is no lift. Stairs were steep. The room itself was clean and had a TV, coffee maker, and small fridge. There were very few electric outlets in the room, and I had to crawl around on the floor to get to the electric power strip that the appliances were all plugged into. We stayed one night and it was adequate for a one night stay. General FYI-Nothing in the town is open late or opens early. We had difficulty finding food for dinner or breakfast.
