    Two-night reservations are required on most weekends, with a three-night minimum required for major holiday weekends and during peak season. This may cause our availability calendar to show “No Availability.” During the week (Sunday through Thursday nights), some rooms may not be available for a one-night stay. Interested in a one-night stay? Please call us directly at (508) 548-2300.

  • Are you pet friendly?

    We are happy to offer 6 dog-friendly rooms at our property, bookable online or by phone directly (the "Village King Suite Pet Friendly" room type). If you are traveling with your canine friend(s) who is under 70 lbs, please be sure to let us know when making your reservation. There is a pet charge of $50 per dog per day, with a maximum of 2 dogs. Dogs must never be left in a guest room alone. Please be aware that dogs are the only pets allowed, they must never be left in a guest room alone, and are welcome only on our porches and exterior common areas of the hotel, and only while on leash. While we love our pets, not all of our guests feel the same way. For this reason, dogs are never permitted in interior public spaces.

    As a condition of reserving a room at our hotel, you agree to pay a $250.00 fee per night if any pets are found in rooms not designated as dog-friendly, or if your animal causes stains or damage to a pet-friendly guest room. Any losses the hotel suffers as the result of complaints from neighboring guests will be the responsibility of the pet owner.
