JohnUnited StatesVery nice but not great.
Location with private beach and nice ocean view.
Room was difficult to access either luggage. Beds need to be replaced. Expensive neighborhood. We checked out one day early. No refund.
IrisUnited StatesLovely location and stay to enjoy Chatham!
It was lovely! Nice relaxing outdoor patio with a great view. Very clean and close to the wedding venue(we walked!). Beach access, quiet, housekeeping was responsive but not pushy. 😊
Nothing.
CelesteUnited StatesLovely property and staff.
Beautiful property on the water. Good location.
Room was very clean. Staff were wonderful-in particular Tim was very helpful.
Easy on site parking.
Curious11101710724The Hawthorne was a great little hotel close to Main Street and very accessible to stores restaurants the beach I highl
My only advice I would give to the Hawthorne would be to trim your hedges back coming out of the driveway. It’s hard to see oncoming cars, and I think that can be dangerous. Other than that, everything was excellent.
Voyage55147380769Great getaway location
Great location. Very clean! Room was a good size, and nicely fitted out with the basics. The kitchenette facilities allowed us to eat a light breakfast before a lot of downtown restaurants were open. Gorgeous view…

My favorite place to stay on the Cape. So peaceful with access to downtown Chatham

Questions about The Hawthorne
What time is check-in and check-out at The Hawthorne?
Check-in is from 3:00 PM. Check-out is by 11:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.
Does The Hawthorne allow pets?
No — the property states that pets are not allowed.
Is there parking at The Hawthorne?
Yes — the property states that parking on site is free. Whether a space can be reserved in advance varies, so we check it against your dates.
Does The Hawthorne have Wi-Fi?
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
Does The Hawthorne have wheelchair accessible rooms?
The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.
How do I book The Hawthorne?
Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
