I have stayed at the Boatslip since the 1980's and compared with the refurbished and stylish boutique guesthouses that have developed since then, it simply has'nt kept pace. The breakfast has to be the poorest in the town and we always ended up going elsewhere for the really wonderful food the USA has to offer. The bedrooms are however of... More

I stayed here over one of the busiest weeks of the Summer. The staff were very helpful and the accommodation the perfect setting for a long weekend. Location was ideal and the views across the bay were perfect, a great getaway.

We stayed here for just one night (USD: 200, non harbour-view) and we were quite happy to leave. Luckily the resort is located right at the party mile of Provincetown. The rooms are very old and in a quite lousy condition. It looks like a slightly rebuilt storage hall. There was no ac in our room (just a fan). The... More

The Boatslip Resort is a good place to participate the anual Bearweek in Provincetown. Each day the World famous teadance and a lot of parties, pool pleasure...everything bears needs ! Breakfast is not special but enough. Staf & crew are very helpfull. Rooms can be updated but everything works good and is clean.

Stayed here for Bears week, 2012. Admittedly, it was not far enough in advance and so there was not a lot available. I understood that the place was a host hotel for Bears week and that it would be loud and busy. What I did not expect was the run down, beat up nature of the place. The tile was... More

Location is great, mattress is firm and very comfortable, if you stay on the main floor you will likely hear the ones walking on the upper floor. Overall, would stay there again. Either water view or street view is not a big deal apart from the balcony you have when facing the water.Great if you are a smoker.

This hotel isn't as bad as some reviews claim. It's located on the "strip" - which was perfect. Adequate rooms and the T Dance didn't affect us at all. The music and party ended at 7pm - and each night we stayed was quiet! The staff is friendly. I wouldn't hesitate to stay there again.

Hotel web site states compleat renovation??? Sorry but putting in air conditioning and new curtins and linins is not renovation . The 1970's bathroom with non working exhaust and water running from the room above was something. We stayed here about 5 years ago at $270 per night with no A/c so we figured we would try this renovated version... More
