A couple of annoying hiccups, but a lovely place

We arrived in Rockport well before check in on Sunday and wound up needing to park far from Addison Choate. We tried to call AC to check on parking (remembered they had it but wasn't sure how it worked), but the hotel phone's mailbox was full. Reaching a full mailbox when you want to ask about check in is annoying. Turned out there was ample parking at AC, but we didn't learn that until we walked there after check in time and then needed to walk back to get our car. The host who met us said he had been trying to call us, but my phone had no evidence of that and my phone number listed in hotels.com is correct. The web info for AC says breakfast is included. (It still does today as I write.) There was an apology in the room from the owners saying they had discontinued breakfast so that they could keep room prices lower. Fair enough. But correct the information on your website. They had also left vouchers for discounts on breakfast, but the place we chose did not recognize the voucher. That also was no big deal, but if you are going to offer vouchers make sure the vendor knows about them. One other thing. The stairs to our room were extremely steep. They deserve a warning in case anyone has a mobility issue. Fortunately, we didn't. Apart from the trouble calling AC and the false advertising about breakfast, our stay was lovely. The room was comfortable and nicely furnished. The place is funky and an easy walk to Rockport.

Frustrating Stay

Arrived July 11 for a two night stay at this Bed & Breakfast arriving via contactless check-in through the internet. A letter was on the bed signed by the owners explaining breakfast had been discontinued mid 2025. The reason for this was rising costs made it prohibitive to provide this service, however our room rate remained the same. Instead, 10% coupons were left at a choice of 3 local restaurants. We were NEVER notified of this change of policy prior to our arrival. We made this reservation 10 months in advance with a deposit for the first night Now, only the bed was being provided and not the breakfast. There was no real compensation for the cost incurred to us each day for breakfast which totaled $40+ in addition to tip, after the 10% coupon! This was obviously a blatant act to avoid informing upcoming guests of this major change. By doing so, future guests were not given the option to cancel their reservation within the contractual 14 days, for a 100% refund of the deposit and book a true B&B that serves breakfast. This is not only poor customer service, but a breach of contract when the reservation is secured with a deposit by a future guest. The owners’ behavior was unethical and fraudulent. After disputing these charges with Hotels.com and my credit card company, the owners have given us credit for the value of two days worth of breakfast on our credit card. Addison & Choate Inn’s lack of business integrity caused great frustration and time.

The room and the bed were very comfortable. However , the Inn is still advertised as having a hot breakfast. I think it was discontinued in January. One of the reasons we chose this inn. Also there is a "stairway to heaven", very steep stairs to climb to get to room. My husband and I are 70. We were able to do this but certainly not anyone with mobility issues or senior citizens not fit. I usually do not write negative reviews but I think people should know this. Also if you are very overweight you may not fit in the shower.

Great stay!

We had the “Above Board” room with a king bed. Everything was clean and the room was very nice. The room is at the top of the spiral stairs, which are very steep—you might find them hard to maneuver if you have any problems with stairs. However, once you get up there, it’s perfect.

The host was very nice and the hotel was exactly as it was described. Peaceful, clean, decorated with the style and located in a very convenient area. My only complaint will be about the announcement on Expedia about the free breakfast. As it happened, breakfast is no longer served at the hotel since the beginning of the year 2025. The price for the night is pretty steep then. It wasn't a nice surprise and it has never happened to me before when booking with Expedia.

You cannot fault the inside of the Inn. We were left very disappointed as they no longer did breakfast and we were not informed. We booked originally back in late 24 you would think that they would have advised us of the change. Please if you are expecting breakfast you will be disappointed and paying for something you will not receive. Not happy posting this but other guests should be made aware.
