Very nice getaway, a great location in proximity to Rockport and area attractions we visited Hammond Castle, Rockport Village, Castle Hill, and Halibut Point State Park.
Breakfast was delicious and staff great, our room and view were excellent. Only two negatives , the pool was under construction, and because it was a weekday the bar/lounge was closed. But overall an awesome stay and would definitely would stay again.
Location, our room, and staff were excellent. Breakfast was amazing. Loved our stay here.

The pool is being renovated, so it’s was closed. One reason why I booked as it’s really hot weather. Expedia needs to keep updated. Hot Lobby no elevators or any help up the stairs. I was on 3rd floor. Dirty carpeting on stairs and hallway. Room smelled of cigarettes, checked to see if they could change room and the person I spoke with said she had just been in room and didn’t smell anything and offered to spray some air fresh. I declined as I have asthma. Later as I was stepping out to eat, same person offered a different room on a sister property across the street. Evermore steeper dirtier carpeted stairs led to a room that smelled super musty, I decided to stick with the devil I know cigarette smelling room. It was clean and had a shared balcony with an ocean view. Bed was ‘saggy’ with really worn bedding. Overall, I was disappointed with this stay. Oh and it was super expensive, given holiday. Which makes not having pool worse…
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.

The view of the ocean from the room was spectacular, and the staff particularly Cameron and Allison were so helpful and friendly! The room was spacious and very comfortable. I would highly recommend the inn.
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.
The view from all areas was stunning. I stayed in the quarter deck and it was perfect. It wasn’t a hard walk over to the big house for breakfast and evening drinks.
This hotel is clean, quiet and beautiful. It’s right on the water and our room had a balcony we could sit on. Each guest gets a made to order breakfast each morning seated in the dining room with beautiful views. I would choose to stay there again.
Mike and the staff at The Yankee Clipper are friendly, helpful and go out of their way to make your stay as pleasant as possible. Breakfast is wonderful and served in the dining room that looks out at the water. The grounds are lovely and many rooms have a deck to enjoy the view.
