The Coonamessett

We stayed in the Lark Suite in February and it was lovely. The stand alone suite felt like a little apartment and the view of the pond from the living room was a plus. It smelled like it had just been cleaned when we walked in. The couch and bed were very comfortable. The sheets were really nice! We would stay again !

We enjoy Cape Cod in all seasons, but particularly special is to visit in the depth of winter when you REALLY need a little time off. We stayed at The Coonamessett for the first time this February and immensely enjoyed it. The hospitality experience began before we arrived with wonderful welcome, directions and information about the room(Queen Suite), communication about late-check-in procedures as we were arriving late, to the wonderful Eli's Tavern professional who offered my husband a to go cup of coffee for the road as we departed on Sunday. Special thanks to her, and to Marisa and Kristen, too. We really enjoyed our room with a fairly large living room - my spouse is an author and loved all the books arranged on the wall. The bed was so soft, the decor is minimal, you sink your feet into the sisal rug, and a bath that reminded me of an outdoor shower inside. The entire room seemed recently redecorated much like a Cape cod beach cottage. It was perfectly situated for all the hiking we did at the beach, at area conservation land / bird sanctuaries, yet we could stop by the room to watch golf or head over to Falmouth center (less than a mile away). We can't wait to return!

1) the room which we stayed in (room 22) was loaded with the smell of bleach. When entering the took it was so poignant that after a short time in the room we all had severe headaches. Despite airing it out on day two it still was there so much so that bag every time we walked into the room you got smacked in the face with the chemicals. The cleaning ladies came to try and use a different cleaning supply but that too was bleach. 2) The two sewer caps outside that building, gave off a horrible sent of raw sewerage. When walking to/ from Ellis Tavern you would get the wiff of raw sewage. This of course then made me wonder if the horrific bleach smell was to hide the outside smell of raw sewage. 3) The fridge inside our room was not regulated so it froze all our food and burst one or the bottles inside leaving a mess for us to clean up. 4) All that aside however is small in comparison to the hospitality. Your establishment has by far the worse bar staff! Maybe one bag Apple in the bunch but there were three incompetent bartenders all of which left such a horrible taste in my my mouth I don’t think I will ever return…. In Friday night (2/28/25) for my mother’s 80th we chose to celebrate at your restaurant. We had ordered lemon drop martinis with a sugar rim. First round came out that had salted rim. So we sent them back. Second round came out and again, both had a salted rims. If that wasn’t bad enough the one I got was pure alcohol certainly not a lemon drop martini- not even a lemon on the rim, not even yellow in color. I went to the bartender to bring it back to complain that again we got salted rims and I had no idea what this was but it certainly wasn’t even a lemon drop martini. The response and attitude was “how dare I question him” when I showed him the difference in color from the first one he then couldn’t argue. Erica was very apologetic and I believe she made it herself to rectify the mistake. I thought to give them a second chance so On Saturday evening 3/1/25 my mom was not feeling well so my sister and I had gone to the bar at Ellis Tavern to get our mom clam chowder and have a few drinks. On the menu was a lavender lemon drop so we each order one. Now it was new bartenders (a female name Linda and a older male who was shorter then the previous night and not as thin). Linda let us know the man could take us as patrons she seemed to enjoy her regulars… when we asked for the drink that was listed on your menu the man response to our request was “Of course you would order that!” to which I thought maybe he didn’t know how to make it. He then preceded to tell us he had no blue curaco for the drink and he could replace it with some “raspberry alcohol” that he had. I then thought ok I will get a glass of the Gershwin wine on the menu instead. There was a local seated at the bar drinking a glass of the red on the menu. The woman said to the bartender it should be fine she had ordered a glass instead of a bottle, to which the bartenders response to the local was “you are a regular you can get whatever you want. These two ladies just drove over the Falmouth bridge and plopped themselves down here” if you could have seen the shock on my face! I couldn’t believe the man actually said that out loud! To which my sister then said “excuse me we are paying guests staying here at the hotel!!!” and then it was supposed to be all is forgiven because he then said “Oh well then in that case you can get whatever you want!”. I took my business elsewhere after that!

Friends rented 3 rooms. 24 was gorgeous, 5 was nice but not gorgeous, and 20 was really just for parents and kids. 20 is on the second floor with stairs which is not noted on the website so it was difficult for older people. It didn’t seem like the hotel was full but reception told us no other 2 bedrooms were available. The 2 bedroom pictured on the website was much nicer than this room. So I guess each room is different and it’s worth asking whe. They were renovated. Room 20 had a nice master bedroom but the twin Room was basic. Bathroom was very small. There was no coffee pot In The room and breakfast wasn’t available until 7:30.||That said, the breakfast was great and we were very happy with the restaurant for dinner

Unfortunately I have this place 3 stars and not 5 stars because of the old smell in the room. Not sure how to describe the smell, but it was definitely unpleasant. Otherwise the rooms were spacious and beautiful. The place very cozy and nicely decorated. They have a great restaurant on site.

The Coonamesset Inn has seen better days along the way. Its really large and has many different buildings to lodge in. We recently travelled to Falmouth for a family visit and was sort of disappointed in the room. It was large and the beds were comfortable. The room was HUGE it had a large living area...with basically no furniture. A futon and two useless chairs and then a large blank space with a cheap round glass table by the door with three chairs and a tiny refrigerator. Nothing else. it was weird! Then there was a giant bathroom with a shower so small you could hardly turn around in. We travelled with our dog and reserved what we thought was a pet friendly room as the resort stated "pet friendly" and we were not asked about it at check in. We checked out and on the way home received a call stating that we were being charged an additional $250 for our dog who did no damage at all to anything. I finally got to speak to a manager and after some discussion the fee was reduced to $50 per night which was reasonable but should have been waived completely. There is a very basic continental breakfast daily which was fine. The grounds are nice and it is conveniently located to town. There is a restaurant/bar on site. Which was closed on Saturday night for a HUGE reception of some kind. IT WAS SO HUGE THAT WE RETURNED from dinner at about 8:30 and there was NOWHERE TO PARK for people who were staying at the resort. All in all I might return and will be sure to ANNOUNCE my pet at check in....Falmouth is a very quaint village with lots of shops and restaurants. there is a beautiful mall called Mashpee Commons not far away that has lots of unique shops and places to eat. Of course in the Summer it can get very hard to find a place to stay in the area but this time of year was really nice.

Lovely older Inn with many rooms and buildings. We stayed off season and it was quiet and comfortable. Lots of shopping around if that is what you enjoy as well as very close to the beach. We will go again mary
