What guests think

At Chatham Bars Inn, guests consistently praise the stunning beachfront setting and classic, well-kept grounds, highlighting beautiful views and easy access to town, while feedback on value is mixed due to premium prices and occasional disappointments.

Service is frequently described as friendly, attentive, and professional, though a few guests experienced slow or unhelpful interactions or check-in/payment issues. Rooms are often comfortable, spacious, and charming, but some feel dated or small, with thin walls or adjoining doors causing noise, and a few noted mismatches with expected views. Amenities like pools, beach access, spa, and car service stand out, yet guests mention kid-related crowding and event-related closures, and dining is generally good but breakfast value and variety can be inconsistent. Cleanliness is usually solid with occasional lapses; overall, expect a scenic, upscale stay with classic vibes and some trade-offs.

Now they use only valet parking, and take horrible care of your vehicle, as in 10 hours after I handed them the key found the truck open in the parking lot, windows down, doors unlocked, key inside the truck and not with the valet guys. "Heated" pool is roughly 60-65 degrees. Walls are paper thin. Noise is tremendous. Food is terrible. Service is the worst of ANY hotel or motel I've stayed with throughout the world. Utter waste of money and vacation

Beautiful property w tremendous view. I have stayed here many times and it was as good as expected. We spent a lot of time in the pub and received excellent care from our server Vanya. On the negative side, disappointed that the library was closed for renovation as it was one of the big reasons I chose CBI over the Wayside Inn which was half the price. Oh well.

Great place but on the last day they had a huge corporate function so the POOL WAS CLOSED, the bikes were unavailable, the buses were arriving with convention people and thats fine except THEY DIDNT TELL US all activities would be closed that morning. They didnt tell us. I would NOT have paid $800 for one night if I knew that the next morning the pool would be locked, the beach closed off for the function, etc. I FELT SO TRICKED

1st off this property requires you to walk up a lot of steps kind of like Rocky just to get to check in. I spent close to $900 for 2 nights so $450 a night and I couldn’t even see the ocean. I can’t imagine it being super busy in the dead of the winter. I was very disappointed with the room location. It was close to the spa where my wife and I had a couples massage that was great, but we had to drive so it didn’t matter. For the money this place is not worth it in the winter.

Old school hotel complex in a great location overlooking the Sea. Great ambience in the main lodge & dining facilities. Very kid friendly with the main pool swarming with kids. At one point I noticed 8 small kids in the large jacuzzi at one time - unusual for a luxury property. The pool experience & commotion I would consider a negative. The price point was rather expensive as our hotel room was a bit dated & not equivalent to what we experienced at the neighboring Wequassett Resort. The service was excellent & we enjoyed the private boat rides to the beach.

Long term homeowner in proximity to CBI and first time guest. Beautiful location and grounds, but stay fell short given established reputation and the cost of accommodations, Room smelled quit musty. Decor suggested a collection of castoff furnishings from perhaps past renovations. Bathroom needed updating! Nespresso machine was very dirty and dispensed old coffee grounds. Night guard container, obviously from a previous guest, found on floor near bed. Honestly, I have never posted such a critique, but after years of wondering what it would be like to stay at CBI, I was disappointed!

E.g., although shown on the photo we could not see the sea from the bed. Bathrooms are very old and not appropriate for a 5 star hotel. Breakfast was Ok, dinner very nice. View from the restaurant was outstanding. On the last day the nice room was closed so that the breakfast had to be taken in a small backward looking room. Prices are very high.

Lobby was warm- A/C must not have been working efficiently. Difficult to get reservations at restaurants- even if staying there. They should give priority to guests staying on the property. Flowers were incredible! Great location close to town. Would definitely stay there again!

Property is located right along the coast. Nice pleasent staff. Our complaint is it’s overpriced. Especially in off season. We had a “Deluxe” room in one of the “cottages” which had three guest rooms in the building. The walls were so thin we could hear everything when their bathroom was being used. It was almost like they were showering in our room it was as so loud.

The property was beautiful - well maintained and gorgeous location. However, I was in a room with a door adjoining the next room. The sound level from the adjoining room was ridiculous. It was partly the family who was there - so loud at 6:45 in the morning and partly the Inn's fault for very little separation between the rooms. You could see light around the door and partcularly under the door. I got little sleep.

Their systems kept declining my credit card we tried 4 different cards from 3 different users and they made us look like we didn’t have functioning cards and I told the desk person to use the other machine and he wouldn’t until he got his manager out here. It took them 45 minutes to get this handled and was not what I expected from a Hotel like this. On top of that we had already pre paid for our stay. We offered to pay incidentals in cash because their machine didn’t work and they refused.
