The Clarendon House — Hotel in Provincetown

We stayed at the Clarendon House last weekend with some friends and had an overall great experience minus the mold issue. It is in a great location with free parking. We found ourselves walking back to the room to drop off our stuff after shopping so the we wouldn’t have to carry bags around because it was so close to everything. We personally stayed in the Race Point room knowing that it was going to be tight and all the pictures are accurate of the space on how cozy it is. We do not recommend more than 2 people in there. The bathroom is very small, enough for a toilet, small sink and standing shower. I am 5’2 and when using the toilet, I maybe had 2 inches before my knees hit the wall. My husband who is a bit taller actually had to sit slightly sideways to fit comfortably so his knees wouldn’t hit the wall. There is a cute living room with free coffee/tea + desks where you can use to do work as the common area. There is also free breakfast from 8-11am! The only downside is that there was what looked like black mold on our bathroom ceiling. We didn’t ask the owner about it and decided to sleep with the windows opened and the bathroom door closed since we were only there for the weekend. When we were checking out and asked the owner about it, he said he knew about it and is looking to fix it/replace the ceiling in the winter. Should I have talked to the owner about it when I checked in? Probably, but I also knew that the entire house was booked so there wasn’t really another option. I hope he does get it fixed because we did have a great experience minus the black mold in...

The Clarendon House is in a great location - very close walking distance to everything in Provincetown. Overall, though, this place is not a great value at all for the high price that we paid to stay here and I would not recommend staying here if you need much in the way of customer service. After about 11 am, there were NO staff around, at all, to help us with anything. We had to go scavenging for our own toilet paper in a supply closet because no one would reply to our text message that we needed toilet paper, and there was literally no one on the property. We also had to go scavenging to find a garbage bag. Also, they left the back door to the B&B open all the time with no staff there and no security, so it did not feel safe. For over $300 a night, I need a bare minimum of one staff member available and not to feel like I'm completely on my own.

The pool was advertised to us but it was not open or clean, even though it was Memorial Day weekend.

The room was very small but clean. Breakfast was a fine continental breakfast, though there was only one type of K-cup coffee available (more options would...

Our stay at The Clarendon House was everything we could have hoped for and made for a wonderful trip to Provincetown.||||Jose and Accent who manage the hotel were very friendly and hospitable. The location is pretty much right in the centre of Commercial Street, except one block behind on the road parallel so not immediately surrounded by the business and noise. All the town's amenities are otherwise a short walk away, and a CVS is also nearby which is handy.||||A lovely continental buffet breakfast is served every morning in the main reception area, which was always a pleasure to start the day with.||||We stayed in the Sandy Neck Light room which appears to be one of the newer, recently developed/refurbished accommodations. Beautifully decorated and furnished, it was comfortable and had everything we needed including a small kitchenette, air conditioning, cable TV, and a private balcony overlooking the pool.||||Good quality accommodation in Provincetown is always going to be relatively expensive, but this was worth...
