Disappointed.
Staff were unresponsive to messaging as that was their chosen method of communication. Questions went unanswered. Sheets were damp. Too much scented spray of lavender? caused headaches at night. Like sleeping on a perfume bottle.

The property is in a good location but the actual structure needs work. Entry area really needs painted, our bedroom could use some TLC, kitchen area needs structure, outside area in the back has lots of junk in it. Owner was very nice! Building is for sale I believe, could be reason why it's not being worked on.

Thank you for staying with us. Unfortunately, like many guesthouses on Commercial street, we do not have onsite parking. We are able to rent spots for our guests that are less expensive and closer than the town lots most people. In order to not have folks without a car be charged by including parking in the rate, we only charge our guests that utilize the parking. We find this is the best way to keep costs as low as possible for everyone.

I loved this place. Very well maintained. Plan ahead by making sure to get in touch with Paul if you have a car that you need parking. We had a little balcony room that was really nicely remodeled. The bed was comfy. You are in the heart of town so don't expect a lot of rest as you are in the middle of all the action. Walk to everywhere you need to go.

There were massive plumbing issues, so for half our stay we had to use a bathroom/shower two floors down in the basement. Nothing whatsoever offered in compensation for that!

Response from paul on Aug 5, 2022
Hi Justin Nobody is more sorry about the plumbing issue than I. It was not a pleasant experience during the 24 hours for any of us impacted. I am sorry about the disruption to half of your two day stay. If I had realized the burden that going down the stairs to the other room was, I would have insisted that we move you to the new room as I had offered, yet you declined saying you were all good and not to worry. I am more than happy to offer you compensation for the inconvenience. What do you think a fair comp would be for a young healthy person travelling down the stairs to use the bathroom in the other vacant room instead of the hallway bath you currently had? This is a new one for me and I'm kinda lost? Let me know. Thanks Paul

Quaint Guest House with great views.
Lovely guest house. Owner Paul was lovely and very helpful. Self help breakfast was supplied which catered for everyone. We did get offered an allocated parking spot, but Paul advised that the street parking was available FOC until the 1st May. As we utilised this he refunded the cost of the parking immediately Plenty of towels and toiletries, and the added bonus of mouthwash too. Would highly recommend.

THE place to stay at during Pride weekend
My partner and I stayed at the Prince Albert during Pride weekend and it was perfect. The manager contacted me to see when our ferry would arrive, to make sure our room was ready for us. The entire staff is super friendly and helpful. The room itself is cozy, clean and super cute. We had a lovely view of Commercial St. and the ocean. It’s simultaneously tucked away from the bustle of Commercial St and right across from the Boatslip (which is perfect if you want to check out the Tea Dance.) When we were ready to leave, they even offered to hold our bags until our ferry arrived, so we could enjoy the town. We are absolutely coming back to stay at the Prince Albert. See ya next year!

Wonderful place, very comfortable, a friendly host. Pandemic doesn't allow a breakfast buffet or shared dining room. You can bring your breakfast tray to two outside areas or your room. Breakfast was simple -- choice of hard boiled egg, fruit, waffles, toast, juice, fruit. You can safely park your bikes on the property.

You Will not be disappointed here!!! I promise!
I had compared this place to my last stay at the secret garden inn and it was not comparable! This place is AMAZING!! I met several people just sitting by the fire table on the front patio and everyone I met was great!! Paul was there to help me if I needed anything and it was appreciated! I came to Provincetown to just get away and found some new friends and just relaxed! The bed was Great and the room was even better! Stay in room 8! I would like to give a negative on my experience to help improve the place but I can't think of anything. Everything was close but just off the main path of Commerce street. That is a huge plus! If you stay here you will definitely Love it! There is also a great breakfast plan where you decide what you want and pick it up at a time of your choosing up until 10am....they served me as late as 10:30am because I forgot! Amazing service!! Oh and it has Extremely close access to the beach which is open 24 hours! It makes for a great place to take pictures!!! All in all the Prince Albert Guest House is a PERFECT place to stay in Provincetown.

Thanks so much for choosing to stay with us during your recent visit. I do wish we had parking onsite, but like many in town we do not. Our unloading zone in front of the inn and our arrangement with the private lot around the corner is very reasonable at $20 per day with in/out privilege's. The town lots range from $25 to $35 dollars per day, are further away and you cannot access your vehicle. The perfect way to come though is always by the ferry!! Take Care Paul
