Great property! Close proximity to the beach, short walk to shops and restaurants, and friendly staff. Daily happy hour and morning continental breakfast add to the experience. We are looking forward to staying again!
Beautifully situated on a charming quiet street VERY close to a secluded beach. The room was clean well laid out, the lobby and porch were comfortable. For the price, there should have been maid service. At the very least, emptying of the teeny waste baskets and supplying of fresh towels.
This was a very quaint inn, close to the water and very walkable to town. The staff was fantastic. The bathroom could use some updating along with places to hang up clothes. Saying all that, I would stay again.

Good location - walkable to the beach. Friendly manager/front desk. They offer a Continental breakfast and afternoon wine in the public area. However, this is a historic building and the walls/floors are really thin. I got to hear all kinds of fun things from my upstairs neighbors—from snoring to conversations to sex. No daily maid service; they said it was "upon request," so I requested that the bed be made. Still no service. Would not stay here again.
Anyone who gives this place a bad review is a picky binch. Rooms are clean and comfortable, property is adorable, proximity to beach spectacular, staff delightful. Yes, it's not the Chatham Bars, but it's also not Bars' prices, so get over it.
Super cute property on a quiet side road. It's outdated, though that gives it most of its charm. Staff were super friendly and was greeted with wine and cheese when we arrived. The only issue was that I was not expecting the stairs to be so steep (was traveling with an older person). Right near the beach and walking distance to downtown Chatham.
Value oriented, well
Located (beach about 2 mins and downtown the other way 5 mins). Staff was attentive and friendly. Clean, well taken care of. This is not a high end hotel despite its high end location. You’ll find clean, updated rooms. Bit of a throwback when you could bring a family to a Chatham and not break the bank (and be treated fairly).

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Disliked: Amenities
While the location and the common areas were perfect, the room was tiny and the bathroom was ridiculously small with barely any access to the toilet. The view was spectacular but a dorm room is bigger than this one. Also, I specified that it was for 2 adults and a 17 year old. We knew it was only one queen bed but assumed there would be a sofa or somewhere for the third person. There was nothing. Just the hard, uneven, old hardwood floor. We thought it would be "quaint" but not this rustic. Especially for the price.
The inn was perfect. The location way exceeded our expectations, had a tiny beach right beside it that was not busy at all. 5 min walk to the main village in Chatham. The manager is also very nice and helpful. The rooms themselves are clean, recently renovated. I would highly recommend to stay here.
Great spot located walking distance to the beach and downtown. Manager of the inn was very helpful with recommendations on local places. This cute Chatham Inn was the perfect getaway, will be back!

Didn’t like anything. This is a great place to stay close to town, the beach and other spots one must visit here on Cape Cod’s “Elbowland”!
