Beautiful setting and property, which unfortunately did not translate into an enjoyable stay.

“Beautifully located and very pretty but service is very impersonal and the hotel is way too busy/over run at sun set and packed at lunch.
A good base for Chatham but not relaxing/as premium as the price point suggests.”

“The hotel is in a beautiful setting . The staff were friendly and attentive .
The courtesy car into Chatham at night was a great service.
We were disappointed in the location of our cottage. It was right in front of the cocktail / pizza bar , the noise level and intrusion of people taking photos of the view right outside our door/ patio area every night spoilt our stay . That said, the bar manager Matt did apologise and gave us his contact details if it got too much.
We did raise our concerns with hotel reception. Although we couldn’t be moved , the hotel did waver our extra charges incurred during our stay .
The cottage was a bit tired , could do with some maintenance. The blind was broken in the bedroom, the sofa bed needs cleaning and a better mattress . You could feel every spring! Not great for a five star hotel.
Despite this, it’s a lovely hotel and would stay again but not in the same cottage.”
Room too small

“For the price the rooms and bathroom are no bigger than a closet . We could not even get two people into the bathroom . We also had to request two fans , ac not helpful . Great location , staff friendly but rooms smelled moldy and need an update .
Also bar needs to stay open later , closed too early .”
Wow!

“It's such an incredibly beautiful property, particularly with the hydrangeas in bloom! We stayed in a spa suite which had it's own sauna and steam shower!”
Great break away from the madness of Boston during the World Cup.

“The location is fabulous. The atmosphere and the staff were outstanding! Our cottage gave us lots of space! Sadly, it poured RAIN! NOT CHATHAM'S FAULT! but hard to constantly need umbrellas .....HARD.”
Exceptional seaside atmosphere, though lodging is NOT close to being that of a 5 star resort.

“The Chatham Bars Inn sits upon one of the most beautiful beachfront settings in the USA and provides spectacular views, perfected grounds and amenities. It’s beautiful.
Sadly, the lodging itself does not come remotely close to meeting the expectations for an alleged 5 star hotel, nor the associated price point. No show housekeeping / turndown services (multiple times), mold in bathtub and grout, discolored water in tub (sans any proactive notice), very basic in room amenities and services, etc.
It’s no doubt a nice place, but manage your expectations if you expect immaculate, well-serviced lodging consistent with a luxury 5 star hotel.”
Great Week

“Great summer stay at Ocean Spray with my wife and two-year old son. My parents came down to visit as well. The South Lawn was right in front of us and we were busy throughout. Minus some bad weather and my son burning his hand on the fireplace, it was a perfect week!”
Great resort.

“Great hotel. would give 4 and 1/2 stars if I could. Had an issue with our first room and it was handled well by front desk and manager. All personnel were friendly and helpful and beach area is fantastic. Take the free boat ride to the deserted island! Would definitley return.”
Beautiful, even in rain!

“We have been here for 4 hours or so. First, they brought us someone else’s car at valet. They had no idea where the car was. We asked for towels and got them hours later after I called and asked to speak to someone. We put our name in for lunch and they put the wrong phone number in, so it took a long time because they had someone else’s number. We are in a cottage and you are supposed to be given a device to open the gate. We weren’t given one and sat at gate waiting for someone to bring it. Our shower floods onto the marble floor and is a safety hazard. We were told someone would be here to fix in 10 minutes and 1 1/2 later not here. They said maybe 6:30. Someone put in wrong service order. Will never come back. Should have fixed all of these things. Very disappointed. Drove 6 1/2 hours to come here.”
Go stay at Chatham Bars Inn!

“What a fantastic experience. Everyone on the CBI staff were exceptional. We stayed at the Main Inn...room and bed were perfect. We reserved 3 rooms for the 4th of July weekend. Tip for first timers...make sure you get to the side Veranda by 4pm to secure seating/table for sunset Happy Hour!”
Not enough amenities to accommodate crab. Shockingly poor service

“I have never in my life thought about leaving a hotel early but am actively contemplating it now. I was fully aware when I booked this that I was paying for peak season. But they advertise themselves as this luxury property and the service is far from that. The beach service is particularly atrocious (no chairs, over hour waits for drinks or food, no water, drinks served without ice because they’re out, no diet cokes, etc). Everything else was underwhelming but the beach and pools abysmal service has led me to writing bad reviews (which I hate to do but dk what else to do).”
Beautiful hotel with friendly staff, but check in process colored the experience

“The hotel is beautiful and the staff was extremely friend; however, they may benefit from better controls to make sure that the right person gets keys to rooms.
I arrived earlier in the day, and I never received a text message to let me know that my room was ready. As a result, I did not get to my room until 10 PM.
Upon reaching my room, someone was already in the room. Because of the similarity of our last names, we were assigned and given keys to the same room. This caused an awkward situation, where I walked in on my coworker changing and getting ready for bed. We then both returned to the lobby to get our rooms reassigned. In process of getting a room, somehow my coworker's key was deactivated, and he needed to return the lobby to get this reconciled. The next day, our bills were mixed up because our credit cards were still associated with the original rooms.”
