"I enjoyed my stay in the Chappy House – Room 409, a suite with its on entrance from the outside. It was very well appointed and similar to a spacious one bedroom apartment without the kitchen. Must be capable of maneuvering stone pathways and steps to access it. Very nice for a long-term stay. I’d be interested in purchasing one! (Luxury vinyl plank flooring needs repairing in one hallway spot — barely noticeable.) 🙂"

Falmouth Tides

8/10 Good
"Really great to be right on the beach. Beautiful setting. But the beach and in water has lots of rocks. Difficult to walk through or stroll on the beach. But nice when just laying on a chaise. (provided by hotel) Room is very nice and clean. Beds very good. Wonderful to have our dog with us. Staff was having some turnover during the stay. The first day a bit chaotic. They don't provide full view photos of rooms on the website(s) so we couldn't get a handle on size beforehand. In the end, the bedroom was a good size. But not one photo of bathroom. (I've never seen this missing in any other hotels on internet) The bathroom is smaller than expected, but nice and clean and worked well. Everything in room seems updated. Just to know and plan - there isn't a restaurant or food setting. There is a truck in the lot that sells coffee, beverages and pastries. There is a rooftop with furniture on the two level hotel overlooking ocean. It was a full moon. Very nice aspect. This is a very expensive hotel stay."
