Great place for a special getaway
I have stayed at this inn three times, and next week will be there for the fourth. I have stayed in different rooms each time, and every room had charm and lovely details. Yes, a few of the fixtures here and there are showing their age, but the overall elegance and attention to details more than make up for that. The rooms vary from smallish to large, and the prices go up accordingly. I do not know if I would feel as positive if I paid full price during the summer as the rooms are very pricey then. But in the winter when their mid-week special is running, I think I get a true bargain of staying in very high quality accomodations on a budget. Chatham in the off-season is wonderful -- just enough shops and restaurants are open to make it worth the trip, and it is so much more quiet and peaceful.
The innkeepers really do want to cater to their guests needs, and they also keep very thorough records so that if you return, they will remember you and your preferences. The food -- breakfast and high tea -- is exceptional, and on more than one occasion just those two "meals" sufficed to feed me for the day.
I love this inn and all it has to offer, and I recommend it for a special getaway. It is not a motel, a la Route 28 accomodation on the Cape, but it is worth all of the difference in price from those places. This is an inn of exceptional quality that creates a warm and welcoming environment for its guests. I heartily recommend it.
