We were just there for one night after the Wellfleet Oyster Festival. Off season, we were one of 2-3 rooms. We were surprised with a free upgrade to the Captains Quarters. Big room with 4-poster bed and in-room jacuzzi. Very cool building inside and out. Lovely place, tons of original artwork everywhere, relaxed with morning coffee in the sunny living room among the artwork, sculptures, plants, high beams and leather couches. Our kind of place.

I loved staying here but you need a full time presence on the property to help out with questions and needs. Your go to person didn't answer phone and when it went to voice mail it was always full so I couldnt leave message.

From the outlook this hotel looks artistic and have a good taste in the decor and landscaping. However, cleanliness inside the rooms need to be improved. We had to deal with spider webs and a dirty hot tub. I had to fill and drain the hot tub multiple time, and wipe the tub with a towel to remove the dirt. Although we had issues with cleanliness, I do not want to knock off the stars but this is something it can be improved for the future guests. Another thing to note is front desk is not available throughout the stay and the number they asked us to reach out goes straight to voicemail and it was full.

Water spots in ceiling, filthy shower curtain, never saw/met host in the 5 days I was there. TV cable didn’t work the whole time—called owner a couple time, but not resolved. Master bed too high—had to jump into it. Coffee not available.

Very enjoyable stay with beautiful decor!
I really enjoyed my stay at the Rugosa Guest House and would probably stay there again! I truly felt like a guest in a house instead of staying at a b&b or hotel. My room was nice and cool and the perfect size for just me. The entire home is decorated in such a beautiful and vibrant way there is something interesting to look at the whole short walk from your car to your room. The only thing I would suggest is finding a way to make the doors a little more quiet when they shut. I think I only ran into two other people enjoying their stay while I was there, and the only time I could hear anyone was when they were shutting their doors for the night. I couldn’t even hear them come in or when walking through the hallway so I know they were being quiet, I just think the doors to our rooms are normal doors and not really designed to shut particularly quietly. I really thought Rugosa was a special place to stay while on vacation though! Very enjoyable overall!

Horrible Stay, Flooded Room with no Repair
Beware of this property. Generally the location would have been a quiet and a bare-bones but comfortable stay, BUT the bathroom in our room was flooded and completely unusable. As I was in the bathroom I heard the shower in the unit above turn on and then saw water start pouring out of the ceiling. It was obvious that this was an ongoing issue because the ceiling had been patched several times. This continued until the bathroom was flooded and the ceiling was saturated all the way out into the room and above the bed. I immediately called the hotel who acted surprised (even though it was an obvious ongoing issue) and they assured me they would take care of it right away. They didn’t. I never heard from them again, they declined my follow up call, and the bathroom remained flooded for the remainder of my stay. Every time the unit above would shower, I would have water pouring out of the ceiling into my bathroom. For the entire weekend I had to walk through standing water just to use the bathroom in a hotel that refused to fix anything and was definitely not inexpensive on a holiday weekend. I don’t expect that every room has a similar issue, but I think this issue speaks to the character of the hotel management. If they ignored this glaring issue, what else are they hiding?

The rugosa house was a nice place to stay for the week. It was convenient to have a full kitchen available to use. Having coffee available 24/7 was great! The room was fairly comfortable and everything worked, although the bathroom was quite dated. It was very close to Nauset Light Beach, the bike path, and lots of restaurants and shops. The owner is a nice young man. It’s a funky place with tons of original art on display. Oh, and it’s dog friendly! If you’re looking for a cookie cutter hotel, this is not it! Great place to stay for a week on the Cape!

Following instructions during the booking to contact the guesthouse if check in was needed after hours I tried sending messages through the website and calling three different phone numbers for a couple days until I got some response. The keys and instructions would be left in an envelope on the front desk. All fine, but the instructions were wrong. The instructions said the door electronic keylock was not working and that we should use the physical key, which was in in the envelope. Although the key pad WAS working, but no passcode was shared. I was lucky that after three attempts someone answered the phone. I understand what they are trying to do with the place, however to keep it clean with all the antiques and decor objects that are in there is really challenging. Stained towels, spider webs, dusty surfaces were very common. The only power outlet in the bathroom was not working. The room had a very noisy AC (the window unit type), and an also noisy ceiling fan. All that dust and stained towels made me think several times before utilizing anything from the kitchen. The place has potential, but they need to get a grip on cleaningless (perhaps get rid of the clutter) and catch up on maintenance.
