Top Whaling Museum Hotel Reviews

Martin House Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay! Helpful staff and clean beautiful rooms. Everything we needed"

The Beachside

8/10 Good

"We loved our stay at the Beachside! It was well located for walking into town, the service was excellent and prompt and the hotel grounds are lovely. If I could make two suggestions, it would be to have blackout blinds in the room and/or shut the patio lights at night, as it was pretty bright in the room. And, the water pressure in the shower is very low - more like a trickle. I am not sure if anything can be done about that, but it would help improve what was already a very nice stay. The management was very kind and left a gift in our room, as this was a special trip and we really appreciated it!"

Jared Coffin House

8/10 Good

"I loved the hotel, very clean and staff was great! I wish my room had been in the main building because I did not get breakfast the first day of my stay. I was hoping that it was served in both locations, but no one told me that it was only served in the main building when I checked in nor was I told the hours for breakfast (I used Google to get this information.)"
