Great stay at the Yankee Clipper Inn. Such a cute hotel which is beautifully designed and kept. One of the best breakfasts I’ve had at a hotel. I think our server’s name was Claire and she was an absolute doll. Would highly recommend this hotel.

Something that was said at the desk made me believe we were given one of the worst rooms due to booking with a third party. Tiny room divided bath with tiny shower with hard to use faucet that made it easy to burn yourself. Place felt and looked dusty. Loved the setting view and food service and most of the staff except grumpy manager.

The breakfast was excellent and staff friendly and helpful. The property has great views of Rockport and the surrounding area. We stayed in-the Bullfinch house which is historic. Famous architect of the past.

We love the place. We would definitely come back. The water from the shower took a while before it warmed up. (Getting picky…the rug could be replaced….) The staff were awesome! Their breakfast was great! I would give it a 4.9!!! It is not ADA accessible, but that was in the information regarding the facility.
