The Coonamessett

We recently stayed at The Coonamessett in Falmouth with family and had such a wonderful experience! The location is perfect; just a short walk to downtown shops, restaurants, and the Shining Sea Bikeway. It’s an ideal home base for exploring the Cape. Our room was spacious, beautifully decorated, and so comfortable, plenty of space for the family to relax. We loved the gorgeous outdoor spaces, especially the lawn and gardens, which made for the perfect backdrop to unwind after a day of adventures. The on-site restaurant was a standout with amazing food and great service, and the included breakfast each morning was a lovely touch. Can’t recommend The Coonamessett enough: warm hospitality, thoughtful amenities, and a true Cape Cod charm. We’ll definitely be back!

I stayed here for a friend's wedding. While the location is nice enough, the inn itself leaves a lot to be desired. For the price, my room was quite small and unimpressive. The large bedroom TV was nice, although I found no HD channels to make full use of it. Although I was busy in the room until the early afternoon (1:30 PM), when I came back later that evening (10:30 PM), my room had not been touched or made up. The inn's on-site facilities lack many of what you would expect in a place to stay in this day and age, including no exercise room or area at all. The on-site tavern closes at 9, which seems very early and I wound up walking two miles to one of the very few nearby pubs/bars in the area. Lastly, to me at least, the bed was very uncomfortable and the walls exceptionally thin, so much so that I could hear someone snoring in the next room. I don't believe I got more than 8 hours total sleep my two nights there and I usually sleep 8 hours a night. Overall, I would've given it a more favorable rating if it wasn't so expensive. But the price combined with lackluster lodging and lack of room services and on-site facilities cause me to rate this so low.

Honestly is such a beautiful establishment! We didn’t stay in the rooms, just came from some food. The food was great! Our waitress was experienced, fast, and super friendly! My only complaint is how horrible the manager was to her team. It really seemed to put a damper on the whole experience :( if you dine here, make sure to stay away from the manager, I believe her name was Erica

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 !

The cot was broken and when I shared our experience their response was if we stay again they would make amends. I’ve been in the service business and I know things happen but it’s how they are handled that matters most. Regardless of the $800 a night IMHO there could’ve been a better response in order to earn my trust to return again.

The hotel was tired. Not especially clean. The bathroom door didn’t shut properly. Everything was a poor quality.|The staff were unhelpful. We used the glasses in the room and they were never replaced over a four day stay. The rubbish was not removed for the room, not the dirty crockery.

Everything was great. Loved the property. Staff from reception to the bartender were all very friendly. Room was comfortable and clean, looked like things were recently updated and we were upgraded to a suite which was a nice bonus for the weekend.

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!

We had my mom's after funeral luncheon at Eli's Tavern. The sales coordinators were friendly, competent and professional. Communication was top notch. Everything was simply lovely...we sat on the deck under umbrellas. The food was delicious. The service was great. Sitting outside on the deck in the sun with a beautiful view was the perfect setting to celebrate my mom's life. I am so thankful to Coonamessett for giving us a perfect day.

I love this restaurant/pub. Sit at the bar, THATS where all the action is. Always friendly people to talk with. The lighting here is perfection, and if you have read any of my 100 of reviews you know that it's very important to me. Dining at a restaurant should be special and relaxing. So many places these days are using the lights meant for the cleaning crew as their regular lighting. Horrible. I started with an amazing Lemon Drop martini made with limoncello and not sour mix. Delicious. For my main I got the Steak Frites. Medium rare. 10/10. The flavor was out of this world. Served sliced. Fries were hot and crispy. Ruth's Chris could learn a thing or two here. $31. Linda was an exceptional bartender and server. As Always. A+ experience

We were very excited to try this place for our anniversary weekend. The pictures on the website are beautifully misleading. I think other reviewers have narrated the similar experience. We arrived after 9 pm having come from the city (wanted to avoid Friday evening traffic). We entered the main entrance (lobby was locked) to find an envelope with our name on it and keys enclosed. No one was there to greet us or ask any questions. Our room was steps away. Luckily we found it with no trouble with the help of an enclosed map. We got in and were shocked at just how enhanced the online photos were. This is a major problem. The room is not uninhabitable - to be clear. It's fine but it's just not as advertised. There has to be a Better Business Bureau claim for this. That is dishonest - and to charge what they do per night in the off season - it's not right. The king bed itself was very comfortable, so we had a good rest. The room TV is old school cable - not smart TV, so don't expect to watch Netflix or Hulu here. The room heat pumps well as at one point it was definitely 78 degrees in there. The room door has very meager security locks. We felt very exposed even with all the Roman shades down.

We stay in Falmouth every December for a family party. We normally stay at the Sea Crest, but wanted to try something different this year. I booked a double Queen suite a few weeks ahead and then we added an additional king room last minute. The good: aesthetically pleasing decor, luxurious & upscale toiletries and linens, comfortable beds, early check-in (we were able to get in to our room at 1 PM, which was very much appreciated) , friendly staff, free continental breakfast, wine glasses and corkscrews in the room. The bad: the renovated rooms look so pretty in the photos but in person, they still have kind of a cheap motel feel. They left the original tubs instead of putting in a soaking or jetted tub, and added some narrow little standing showers and awkwardly placed sinks. The views from the big windows in the guest rooms are of the parking lot, the doors to the guest rooms lack adequate security (one cheap lock on the doorknob - no deadbolt or latch up top) and most disappointingly, the noise. We brought a white noise machine for our 3 year old and were still woken up in the middle of the night by loud guests partying on the floor above us. We called the after hours front desk number for help and things quieted down a little bit after that, but not enough to allow for a good night's sleep. The renovations clearly did not include adding any sound insulation. Takeaway - if you're going to stay at a noisy motel in Falmouth in December, you're better off staying at the Seacrest. It's cheaper and you get to wake up looking at the ocean, instead of at a parking lot.

This place is terrible, outdated and in need of a complete renovation. The web pics are truly deceiving. Our room was a little freestanding building with outdated furniture, a really weird bed, and a shower with no door. The a/c didn't work and it was 84 degrees in our room when we checked in. Though we were told it would be fixed while we were out to dinner it wasn't. So, we had to sleep with the windows open, and got zero sleep since the blinds were flapping in the wind and a large spotlight on the next building shined right in. When we complained they allowed us to check out early without charging us, that was it. I could keep going on and on, but I won't. Bottom line, this place was an uncomfortable, extremely strange/weird place stuck in a time warp - don't do it! Anyone who gives this place a review over 2 stars has probably never stayed anywhere nicer than a Holiday Inn.

We booked to stay at the Coonamessett and were pleasantly surprised with the value it offered for the money we paid. We had struggled to find anything decent on Cape Cod below $500 a night before coming across the Coonamessett. We managed to get a full two bedroom suite for about $450 a night which we thought was great value. The inn itself has a very clean, polished and somewhat upscale vibe which we appreciated; it actually looked better than a lot of the inns that we were considering that were at least 50% more expensive. Our suite was beautifully furnished and the one issue we had was rectified remarkably quickly. The staff were generally very friendly, and in particular, the lady managing the front desk was very professional, personable and eager to help with any queries we had. The breakfast, which is complimentary, is an ample spread of pastries, bread, cereal, yogurt and other continental offerings. It's not a full buffet by any means but was a nice touch and perfectly sufficient for a quick breakfast before starting the day. If we return to Cape Cod, the Coonamessett will definitely be on our list.

Best food on Cape Cod! A hidden gem. Lived here 40 years and it's gotten even better this year 2023 with a new chef. Thursday oysters $1 before 4:30 $1.50 all night. Pan seared cod, halibut, salmon excellent!! Try it! It's reasonable and charming atmosphere. Paula Benham Frank Theofilakos

One word: WOW! My boyfriend and I decided to make a quick, last-minute trip to the Cape and decided we would stay here. After visiting Falmouth once before this trip, we definitely fell in love and found our vacation spot, but were not the most pleased with our accommodations. After our stay at The Coonamessett Inn, I can definitely say that we have found our place to stay in Falmouth. The staff was amazing, there's a restaurant/bar on-site, and the location cannot be beat. First, the rooms are gorgeous and HUGE. We were in a King Suite, which had a living room with TV, table/chairs, couch, closet, mini-fridge, and some drinkware. The bedroom had a huge, four-poster king bed, dresser, and two nightstands. While it looked small online, the walk-in shower was surprisingly huge (as was the whole room, honestly). We even had a patio out front with some furniture, but it was a little too cold to enjoy it. Truthfully a perfect room! The rooms could be improved in two ways, though. First, the sound between the rooms was insane. We could hear verbatim the conversations had by the couple next to us, and I am sure they could with us, too. Also, the temperature control in the rooms was less than ideal. It was either incredibly hot with the heater, or chilling with the windows open. Maybe the desk could have some fans on-site for the guests if they need them? Now for the grounds! They were gorgeous, as is the rest of the cape. The pond is just the perfect setting for this quaint resort! Next time, we hope to try the Lark Suite or a Village King Suite. We did visit Eli's and only had an appetizer and drinks, but definitely will go back on our next trip for a full meal. If you are looking for a place to stay in Falmouth, look no further. You will not be disappointed by The Coonamessett and everything it has to offer!

Charming place to stay for a girls weekend trip! Trendy, historic inn. Room was clean, SO comfy, and filled with perfect, chilly AC. Walkable to Main Street with all the shops and restaurants. Plenty of parking, restaurant on site, bikes, and friendly staff. Great place for friends and families!!

The website exaggerated the look of the room. The room was on a second floor with very narrow steps and almost impossible to take bags up to the room. The bathroom had a since that was so high that a vertically challenged person would not be able to wash their face. The toilet shook when you used it and you could hear the TV in the next room. The floor was slanted and the lighting was modern but cheap We were booked for 5 days and left after the first night. They did not give us back any of the money even though we only stayed one night. Would never recommend this place!

The rooms are ok and the setting is nice but the bar and restaurant are caught in a time warp from 1962. This is the kind of bar where people of a certain age with no melanin supporting hair follicles go to drink martinis and red wine and listen to live music played so softly that you'd swear they weren't there at all. Musicians who play here suddenly find out their amps do go down to 2. Zzzzzzzz

We stayed for two nights and had a comfortable stay. Our king room was on the second floor around the corner and an outside walk from the lobby. I was surprised to find that our room didn't have a coffee maker given the distance from the serving area, so when we checked out I mentioned (nicely) that this would be a nice addition- to which the front desk attendant answered "You should have asked." I didn't realize we could ask for appliances, nor was I told upon check-in that this was an option. So.....I just wanted you all to know that you should ask for a coffee maker upon check-in.

Not worth it. It used to be a classy place. No more. New corporate bosses have taken over. The rooms are bare! No decor, no personality. Way too expensive for what you get. Stay away!

After 20 years in the hospitality industry I have to say that I was so blown away by the level of service that I received from The Coonamessett staff that I had to take some time to share this review. We had a big blizzard of 22 this past weekend. I lost electric and the Internet and even my generator was giving me trouble. Fortunately the Coonamessett still had rooms and they have a generator so they never lost power. I booked two nights over the phone with Trushan. Now despite the fact that I was so stressed out and worried about everything she was so calm and peaceful on the phone that she literally put my mind at such ease. It was a prepaid reservation and I was clear that there was a no cancellation policy. However as luck would have it 2 feet of snow kept me from being able to drive to the property. I excepted the fact that I wasn't going to get refunded as I know how policies work. To my surprise I got a call back the next day from Trinity and she explained that Trushan had gotten approval to refund me back since they understood it would've been hazardous for me to drive. Please keep in mind I didn't even request this. They just called me and took the liberty to do it on their own! it happens that I'm a co-owner of a plant-based skin and beauty care company. One of our specialties is working in the hospitality industry making private label and custom label bathroom amenities for boutique properties across the US. Our products are top quality, vegan, gluten-free, non-GMO, organic, and made with love. So we've had lots of experience talking to exceptional properties that see the value in providing a quality product to their guests. So with that in mind I finally was able to get out on the road today and I drove to the Coonamessett with four gift boxes of my company's products to give to the staff members as a thank you and a token of our appreciation for how they helped our situation during a very challenging time. With all the restrictions of Covid and all the stress of travel because of that, I give such a high praise to the whole team at the Coonamessett. Even despite the fact I wasn't able to be an actual guest, meeting everyone today and seeing how friendly and happy they are tells a big story to me. It tells me that management knows how to treat their staff excellent. Because with labor shortages being what they are, for them to have a full team that are evidently very happy to be where they are working tells a lot! Jane, Dawn, Jenn- all of them are exceptional at what they do! And I assured them from now on any opportunity when I need accommodations for myself, my family, my friends, or my business peers they will be my first stop to go to!

I am sorry to say I was very disappointed in the Inn. I was looking forward to it, as I have stayed at Lark properties in the past, and they were exquisite. This Inn was just ok. We stayed in a double room suite. No one. told us it was up very skinny stairs, very vertical stairs. We are in good shape, but no way anyone compromised could stay here. The blinds had many broken pulleys, the carpet had a huge hole in it, and housekeeping was sketchy. We overlooked the parking lot. That said , the beds were very comfortable and so were the pillows. The coffee and breakfast were in another building, and didn't start until 7:30. I am up at 6:00, and had no way to get coffee. Very frustrating. I just read a review that said they were told they should have asked for a coffeepot. Really? How would one know that? There was no information provided about that. We stayed in beautiful weather, but I wonder how it wold be going outside to the lobby and restaurant in the snow? The staff was nice and tried to be helpful. We had no hot water for 24 hours (!) and they offered to let us use another room to shower, but not to change rooms. They did offer a small reduction to our tab. The breakfast was very nice and the coffee, when available, was very good The location is great, very near town and shops. Perhaps the staff could be more helpful on local sights and restaurants. I am sad to say I wouldn't recommend it to my friends without knowing the best room to ask for.

My fiance and I looked at The Coonamessett as a venue for our wedding at the end of the year. We fell in love and wound up choosing it. This past weekend we stayed there to get to know Falmouth better. The staff is extremely friendly and made us feel so welcome. The room we stayed in had a living room and bedroom, each of which had a tv. The furniture is beyond comfortable. Additionally, the bed was so comfortable. Lastly, the products that they use in the bathroom were amazing. They smelled amazing and left our hair amazing. Overall I would highly recommend this inn. Everything is so close by. The quaint small town feel in the center of town and all the great shopping!

I had made a reservation in advance knowing I'd be in town for the Cape Cod marathon. As marathon weekend quickly approached it dawned on me, I needed to check to see if I had a tub in my room for an ice bath and Epsom salt soak. When I called to check I was told I did not and could not upgrade because they were at full capacity. I was a bit bummed but I've stayed at several hotels nights of a marathon without a tub and it hasn't been an issue but the fact the Coonamessett was sold out and hosting a wedding I was super worried in advance that I wouldn't sleep well the evening before. When we arrived, the wedding was in full swing. "Just great!" I thought to myself but luckily I didn't hear a thing from my room and slept like a baby. They offer breakfast each morning which was also a nice touch, meaning I didn't need to secure something from somewhere the evening before to have on hand. I generally am super nervous before a race and can't eat more than a bite of anything but since I was only running this marathon for fun I found myself in the dining room at 730a enjoying half of a pumpernickel bagel and bites of their other baked items, a scone and muffin. This is probably the first time I've ever been able to eat before a race and it was really nice, that they offered the small breakfast buffet that they do. We enjoyed it the next morning as well, and I liked that they offered hard boiled eggs since I was looking for a source of protein. The bathroom amenities were great, I definitely required a blow dryer after running 26.2 in the rain and the shower pressure was good. I would like them to offer heavier robes during the cooler months, because the robes seemed a bit light for this time of year and they did not offer slippers which I feel they should with the hardwood floors and well sometimes you just feel more comfortable in slippers. The fireplace was not an actual working fireplace, which threw me off a bit but the heat worked perfectly to produce a very warm and cozy room. I wouldn't rule out staying here again, the price is surely reasonable.

PROS: friendly staff, good breakfast choices, location. CONS: completely inadequate air conditioning for the heat of summer and two connected rooms, ergonomically unfriendly, very uncomfortable furniture, no desk, nowhere to put things in bathroom. would not return for those reason.

Our waitress Gabby was the worst. My order was the clam boil with a lobster tail which was probably an illegal size and way overcooked. I had asked for some drawn butter and that seemed to be a problem for the waitress as well. It said it had linguiça but when I took a bite it was so spicy. The waitress asked what was wrong so I told her, this is not linguiça and she went and got the manager. The manager was arguing with me insisting that it was. I said talk to the chef. After he went and talked to the chef, he returned and apologized to me and said the chef had to substitute it because they didn't have the linguiça. If someone was allergic to peppers they would have been in trouble. The manager said he would take some money off, but when I received my bill it was still full amount. Mind you, there was only a few tables, not busy at all. I come from the restaurant world so I know but this did not sit well with me.

My husband , mother and i went rhere for Easter. We chose Conamessett because we all had fond memories from there, but this time it was a nightmare. My husband odered the Reben and said it was great. My mother ordered the salmon and she will eat anything because she has a diminished sense of taste but the salmon had so much pepper on it it was inedible. I got some kind of meat ( I say that because i could not place the type. The meat?????? Was a completely nasty experience it was entirely fat from one end to the other. Neither my mother nor i ate more than one bite. Now for the positivr part of this review, we have never had a more delightful waitress, she was attentive and had a delightful personality. I dont think we will be back again. It was very hard to write this review and i went back and forth as to whether to write it, but here it is.

Traumatized. I wish I had picked a different venue for my wedding. Abbey H. "Marketing Manager" for lark corporate, your response to Kylie R's post saying "we are doing all we can, and fortunately succeeding much more than not in delivering positive, memorable, experiences in our hotel and restaurant" is a slap in the face to all 60 guests of whom had a horrible experience at your hotel the weekend of July 4th. The fact that you do not care about Kylies response because you personally think you are having more positive experiences than negative ones, simply echoes the tone of the staff of the Coonamessett; arrogant, rude, and hostile. Your company is consistant in blaming the customer for their bad experience rather than taking any sort of responsibility for the mismanaged and poorly run hotel. I can very much assure you that there were no smiles behind the masks of the staff. I implore you to look inward rather than blame an unhappy customer. I am ashamed that I invited so many people to spend so much money to stay at such an ungrateful establishment for my botched wedding weekend. My only hope is that maybe someday, you and this location can reflect on how you treat customers. Maybe one day you will come to the realization that you are in the hospitality business. No one needs to stay at the Coonamessett, or any of the lark properties for that matter. There are plenty of well run hotels, Inns, and quaint b&b's in Falmouth and throughout Cape Cod. I checked out of the Coonamessett early and without a reservation checked into the Oceans Edge Resort, for the same price per night, my wife & I were treated like true welcomed guests. *To note, the Coonamessett refused to let me check out: *a staff member named Maureen was at the front desk and refused to let me check out, she said because it was an hour after checkout. I was charged for the night I didn't stay on the property, and even received a please check out text the next morning as I layed by the pool of my new hotel, the Oceans Edge.* *I did get refunded by the CEO of lark 4 weeks later. God speed to anyone planning a stay, a family trip, or god forbid a wedding at this location. I urge you to think twice, and whatever you do, put all payments on your credit card as you will most likely need to dispute unauthorized charges once the Coonamessett gets a hold of your information.

What a great night at this charming hotel. Rooms was spacious for our family of four. New bathroom decor and minimalist design with way cool wall art made for a comfortable night stay. The restaurant outside overlooking pond serves tasty treats including avacado lobster dish. The drinks were unique and the evening was made special by the live music performer. From moody blues to Johnny Cash, our family had a great evening. What a perfect stop on our way to Martha's Vineyard.

What a great place! When we originally made the reservation we were a party of 5 so needed 2 rooms. Our son couldn't make it at the last minute and when we checked in, unasked they refunded 1 of the rooms. Considering how all hospitality businesses are suffering, I thought this was super generous! Enjoyed awesome service and food at Eli's Tavern....Dexter was great as was the restaurant manager. Live music didn't disappoint ...not sure the guy even took a break! Overall awesome stop on our travels!

We have used the Coonamessett for several meetings for our members over the last few years including recently this past November. We have used two different spaces and both have been fantastic but the main room with the views is incredible and impressive for our guests. John Norton arranged the space for us and he was great about checking up on us to make sure everything was okay. The highlight was that we were there on Sunday when they were having their weekly brunch. Everything was great... Eggs Benny, omelet station, typical breakfast items and a roast beef station. Everybody loved it! Great experience... we will be back soon. Scott Roselund InnSeason Resorts

We decided to do a "staycation". We live in Centerville and grew up in Falmouth. We knew the Coonamessett had been renovated and we booked a room. My first impression going into bar was an overwhelming smell of pot/weed. And it lingered throughout dinner. We had drinks at the bar and moved to a table. Appetizers, wine and dinner very good. Waitress friendly. We did feel rushed. We were told kitchen closes at nine. You should be able to order dinner and enjoy it. Not be rushed through it. (We had drinks and a bottle of wine) It was clear staff wanted us out at 10. Saturday night. Unable to finish a bottle of Le Crema. Walked to our room, understand this building is old and being renovated. The walkway to room was partially washed away and dangerous. Entry way to our to our room was less than inviting. Our room was exactly like the picture. Tastefully updated while keeping the antique feel of the Coonamessett. Clean and inviting. Unfortunately our next "staycation" will be elsewhere.

The hotel is beautiful and the grounds are full of flowers and hidden nooks all wonderful for photos or just to sit and appreciate the views. The accommodations are updated and very comfortable. Like being in an upscale cottage. Maureen, The Rooms Manager, went above and beyond to make our stay incredibly special. She has a quick wit and it seems will do anything to make her clients stay excellent. The location is just a walkable mile from downtown. We had a wonderful stay and WILL be back. Hopefully Maureen will be there then as well.

We spent 2 nights in the Lark Suite #30. The stand-alone cottage was very cozy, clean, spacious and decorated on trend. The bed was comfortable and the towels were super soft. Now for the bad; Both power outlets in the bathroom did not work and the sinks were way too high off the floor making them very awkward to use. The shower pressure was poor and we had a couple large black flies inside causing a nuisance for us on both nights. As for the location of room, during off season in these Covid times, the entire property was empty which we definitely liked, but in normal times I don't think the location would be very private. The bedroom backs directly up to the restaurant's outdoor dining deck. The restaurant is closed now but in summer, forget it. Upon check in, we were told by the front desk person that a "to go" breakfast would be available starting at 7:30am. Well the next morning we went to check it out at 7:50am and there was nothing, literally nothing, set out. The breakfast offerings on our second morning consisted of dessert like carbs and nothing else. In summary, our stay in the Lark Suite was passable but felt way overpriced for what it was.

Not a Fan... Unfortunately, we think this hotel is more a motel and not as advertised. The lower rooms were dark and our room had a musty smell. There is no functional chairs to sit on in the room. The limited amenities cater to the restaurant patrons and not the hotel guests who can't enjoy the deck without an advanced dinner reservation with the restaurant even if it's empty. Both the front desk and bar closes at 8PM on weekdays and the continental breakfast is limited and left over from the day before including the fruits. We stayed for three nights and it was a big disappointment luckily we spent the rest of our vacation at another Inn that was much more accommodating.

This is a review of the restaurant, and not the hotel. But the restaurant itself is a first rate New England Yankee restaurant - Well worth eating at even if you are not a guest at the hotel. It has the right ambience (Colonial building, leather chairs, cozy, quiet). Its execution of the old traditional classics is rock solid. Creamy rich clam chowder with fine clams and plenty of cream and not a touch of overkill. Great lobsters both boiled and baked stuffed. I can vouch for the above dishes personally. Tablemates gave thumbs up to the rolls, the swordfish, the calves liver, the chicken pot pie and the strawberry shortcake. They also do nouveau dishes. I give a massive thumbs up to the panko crusted asparagus spears. The room is refined and old school so I had to watch my table manners. But I would have been just as happy to cram that asparagus down my face in three and a half seconds - never mind Bostonian graces. The Coonamesett Inn is a vast improvement over the loud music sports bar come in your sailing shorts ambience of the typical Cape Cod tourist seafood shack. It counts as an elegant night out and a return to fine New England tradition. A destination meal.

Very annoying to have the "eat on our deck" sign out before lunch when they open. We saw the sign on our way to do errands and stopped by at one ish. We had to go all the way in to find out that they open at three.

The Coonamessett Inn is under new ownership now and as can be expected changes have been made. The lounge area has been modernized and is quite nice. My wife and I have had our Thanksgiving Dinner there the past four years. This past year we thought while very nice it had slipped just a little from previous years. We would still recommend it for fine dining.

Stayed here two nights for a wedding and liked the location. The bed is extremely comfortable. The front desk staff were great. The inn/motel is quaint and our room was oddly furnished. The cleaners could do a little better cleaning. We found a chip on our living room floor. Granted it is an old building and has window air conditioners but the blinds could not be adjusted so you could lower just the top to allow light in but still get the privacy from people walking by your room. There are signs posted all over stating wear a face mask but they failed to enforce it. At the continental breakfast they offer; I observed an unmasked elderly man using his hands touching several bagels before he decided on the one he wanted. Thank goodness I was first in line to get my breakfast. No hand soap in the bathroom, had to use face soap. The girl at the front desk said to use the moisturizing lotion??? For my personal choice the shower is small but the shower gel was great.

This hotel is a motel . Very deceiving pictures. They have been enhanced. Ceilings so low you feel like you are in a cave. The property is very run down, peeling paint, in window air conditioners that are nasty. We were told we were in room 15 but given room 14 key. To access these rooms you have to go up and down several steps. We had luggage. we used key 14 and entered room that was occupied. Went all the way back to front reception to be told it was room 15 and given a new key. Once in room, you realize it is decorated as in pictures but you feel claustrophobic. Such odd rooms. No desk to work on. View of pond that looks like a swamp! We did not stay, checked out once we realized how bad this place is! Hotel reimbursed us for the next 2 days but not for that day even though we just walked in room and left!!

Just stopped in my old favorite watering hole with my cousin for lunch. As i remembered the Cosmo was top notch and J did not disappoint!! Diane recommended the lobster toast and it was amazing. We were extremely disappointed that Chicken Papani (our favorite) has been dropped from the menu. The renovations are good so far, love the beachy colors. looking forward to the painting of the ceiling in the tavern area. it looks like smoke! i like how the renos are being done with. minimal interruption. to us customers. if only the chicken Papani was on the menu then this would be. 5 star review!!

Love love love it here! I find it to be one of the most charming places on cape all year round. We come on many holidays each year for their lovely brunch which consists of carving and omelette stations, beautiful mix of breakfast and brunch cuisine, perfectly ripe fruits, baked goods, seafood, and more lovely options. It is buffet style and quite pricey per person, but the wonderful service and lovely ambience makes, mixed with the wide array of yummy food, makes it worth the money every single time. Tonight I attended an event and was just as impressed. The staff worked quickly and efficiently serving over 400 people which is a feat of its own, but the quality of food was great as well. Their chowder was amazing, and they served chicken picatta with perfect mashed potatoes and veggies. The chefs here simply know how to make food right.

We chose to stay here based on our experience at a Lark Hotel property on Block Island, RI. (The hotel on Block Island is fantastic) We were really disappointed by the quality and cleanliness of our room at the Coonamessett. It was extremely expensive for what was offered. The outside of the building needs some serious TLC. Rotting molding, missing shingles, our door had a piece of red painted plywood nailed to the side of the wall, covering something? All of the trim on the building was peeling. The door to enter our room had a knob that felt like it was going to fall off in your hand. The inside of the room was not as it was portrayed on the website AT ALL. The rooms cleanliness was not what I expected during a pandemic either. It smelled like an old musty cabin. We found hair in our shower and had to ask for a second set of sheets and then make the bed ourselves because the ones on the bed when we arrived were not clean). Extremely disappointed and will not return. I recommend you spend this kind of money and stay somewhere else.

Sunday Brunch, most elegant on the upper cape great value and food choice recommend to all looking for an excellent Sunday brunch probably the best on cape cod

Just had my daughters wedding here, and it was spectacular! Having spent summers in Falmouth (over 40 years), it was so nice to be in town for such an important event. The rooms were nice, plenty of space and so convenient for our wedding guests. The staff could not have been nicer. The event itself went off without a hiccup, the food was delicious, and the event planners and wait staff made it worry free. We have received so many compliments on her special day. I would recommend this venue/inn highly. The room was elegent, and well laid out. The deck off of the main room gave guests a chance to cool off from dancing, and just take a minute to take in the beautiful views. thank you Coonamessett for making a wonderful memory for us!

First time visiting the Cape and am so glad we picked The Coonamessett! We received a complimentary upgrade to a lake view room upon check-in which was such an amazing way to start the weekend. We interacted mostly with Maureen who was phenomenal and so welcoming. She was incredibly helpful in terms of recommendations and responding to any issues we had. Our suite was spacious and cozy - perfect vibe for a weekend getaway! The Inn has complimentary parking which was also so convenient for us. One of our favorite parts was enjoying an evening drink on the Inn's deck with great live music entertainment! Would definitely recommend The Coonamessett to a friend!

Certainly can do out the loud techno music during breakfast. Absolutely no amenities, no pool, no spa, no fire pits . Bar and front desk closed at 8pm on weekdays . If you need ice or anything that the front desk can help you with , you're out of luck. Never again.

We loved the Coonamessett Inn. This place is the real deal. It is private and quaint and the people are fantastic. My girlfriend and I sat by the fire in the lobby, drinking wine, and The GM for 21 years there, Jim, was gracious and talked with us. He was friendly as was the other staff members. We ate in the restaurant, by the fire, the night we arrived. David was our server and he was welcoming and took great care of us. He has been there for 16 years. It says a lot when you have people stay at a single place for that long. I highly recommend. The Coonamessett Inn to anyone that wants a quaint get away to a beautiful wedding.

My husband and I have stayed at the Coonamessett Inn twice now and both times have had a wonderful stay. The rooms are extremely comfortable (I'm thinking about stealing a pillow or two from the bed...), generous, clean, welcoming and well-maintained. The continental breakfast, served in the bar area, is wonderful with hard boiled eggs, fresh bagels, fruit, cereal etc. Every staff member that we have interacted with, from the front desk to the cleaners, has been polite and go out of their way to be helpful. The restaurant, Eli's Tavern, is delicious... I would recommend dinner there even if you don't stay at the hotel. We'll definitely be back!

"How the mighty are fallen...." I have memories, from decades ago, of dinners at the Coonamesset as being a standard of elegance. You would polish your shoes before a night out in this Falmouth landmark. It was not unusual to see the mayor of Boston or a random Kennedy dining here. The dining room and the service had an old-school standard of class, confidence and delivery. Well, that was then. When the hostess greeted us chewing gum - ("I have a bad feeling about this...") - we probably should have run for it, but we held out hope. We were in after brunch but during lunch. Servers slammed tables and chairs all around as they broke down the brunch service in the next room. Our wish to have lunch seemed to inconvenience them. The clam chowder was above room temperature - and that was the best thing that could be said for it. And then - the wait - that awkward feeling when you sit in a completely empty dining room for 25 minutes wondering if the chef has perhaps gone home, quit, or been fired. Guilty side glances from our server who was clearly trying to avoid us. When our swordfish steaks finally arrived they were not bad, but all in all we felt like we could have been eating at a Friendly Ice Cream restaurant and had a comparable dining experience. And then the bill. $95 for two is a fair price for a fine meal where everything from reception, service, food and decor are held to a high standard and delivered with care. For a disappointing and frustrating meal, the price was an eye-popping insult. We will dine on our memories of what this place used to be, but we won't be back.

It was a beautiful inn, which is why it was extremely disappointing that the staff didn't treat us like so. To say we were treated like guests at a local McDonalds restaurant would be generous because even McDonalds employees greet you with a smile. From the day of check in, the staff was short tempered with us, in attack mode, frustrated, ambiguous about their rules in place, unpleasant. If your guests are not following rules that you have not outwardly expressed, that's not a free pass to harass us and treat us like we were an inconvenience rather than paying hotel guests. We had plastic cups in our hands while standing in the open grass yard of the hotel and one of the managers approached us angrily and snatched the cups out of our hand, instead of calmly sharing that as a hotel guest you can't consume your own beverages on their property. We were treated very unkind from the start. It really is unfortunate and a waste of such beautiful infrastructure. Staff should be trained to properly and kindly communicate rather than begin in defense mode, which all trickles down from management who encouraged the staffs poor treatment. We will not be back and I'd encourage everyone to take a look through the rest of the reviews as well before booking your stay, given the pretty penny you'll be paying.

My wife Liz and I love this place. Great food and great service, especially from Alyssa

Hotel is charming and the rooms are creatively designed. The staff is friendly and helpful. The beds are beyond comfortable. I am very happy with this hotel.

The bride and I spent a night while visiting family. The Inn is an historic grande dame hotel. Unfortunately the grey lady decided to dress like a teenager from Sweden. Decor is awful. Room painted stark white with weird furniture. Faux fur pillow and sling setting. Very clean but the bathroom is sink is raised above the counter top. Almost no space to set down toothbrushes, etc. Unless you're fine sitting them on the toilet lid. Ah, no thank you. We had a light meal in Eli's Tavern. She had a salad and I had a dozen Cape oysters. Salad was very good but the oysters were lousy. Four were perfect, five were old and a bit dry. One was clearly dead and bone dry with two small ones the were hacked up so badly they appeared "pre-chewed". All 12 had not been cut from the bottom shell so I had to find a knife and do it myself. All had shell shards visible. Alcohol selection is the bar is poor. However the two bartenders are great gentleman. The price for the room was obscene. I've paid much less to stay in fine hotels all over the world. This ain't one of them. Hit the bar for a wine or beer and do yourself a favor and sleep and dine elsewhere. Yeah, that's harsh but they remodel just got it sooooo wrong.

I am a regular and I am unhappy you took chicken panini off the menu. Please reconsider. Ate there yesterday for lunch. The corn beef in the Reuben was tough. Glad you kept staff . They are great and loyal.

Spent really nice Thanksgiving '15 here. Great service and food was excellent. Don't know how they did that with all those people. Only critique is the gentleman host; obviously busy with full house BUT could have attempted to smile or at minimum not bite back at people checking in. Don't mean to be mean but after all ... he was. Must return to check out bar and regular menu. Stay tuned.

Hostess acted like an arrogant person in her greeting us. "Do you have a reservation" in a surely manner. Waitress was likewise lacking good side manner. Food was excellent , but left a sour taste. Not sure if we will be back.
