Ask a local, we know best
Locals always know an area and its attractions the best. During your vacation at our Chatham, MA hotel, our helpful staff of Cape Codders is always available to help you plan your meal, day trip or entire Cape experience.
It is also common for guests to exchange information over breakfast in the dining room, around the pool, or while feeding the Koi fish about the previous day’s biking experience, restaurant discovery, beach parking tip or shark sighting.
