No Money Back - Caution!
My ferry in Yarmouth was cancelled and I had no need for my room, but the hotel.com reservation was non-refundable. Missed that in the reservation. Be careful using this service.

The property is nice, fairly quiet, very clean, a nice swimming pool and has an excellent staff. The included breakfast was quite nice and offered enough choices to satisfy one’s breakfast needs. It’s also near a number of restaurants and is close to downtown Yarmouth and as an extra bonus it has a nice view of the ocean. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay there again.
