Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

My expectations were high given all the positive reviews, but I wish I had been more eyes wide open about the trade-offs of a motel versus hotel. On the upside, the rooms are very clean, beds are comfy and the location for Chatham is fantastic. You can walk right into town, to CBI, the Chatham fish pier and it's only a 20 min walk to the Chatham Lighthouse beach. The tiny beach in front is great too. However, our room was quite cramped for my small family of 3, and we had quite a bit of rain which made it worse. Without a full-service lobby, veranda, porch or sitting area we were limited only to our room (this is a motel versus hotel thing I guess). Further, while the staff was lovely, their availability is limited. I wouldn't call $537 a night a bargain, especially for a

We enjoyed Chatham and it started with the warm welcome at The Hawthorne. This family run motel is in a beautiful place and is spit spot and so very comfortable! Everyone was helpful and super friendly and it is reflected in all the happy guests! We can’t wait to go back!

Rooms where very clean. Had plenty of clean towels and plenty of coffee. We did not discover until we check out that they had additional coffee and cookies in lobby. Hotel was the perfect location for walking, driving, and for a stay when most of the time not in room. Next time want to request Ocean view.

We love The Hawthorne and highly recommend when you're in or near Chatham. I love that they have beach chairs and recliners for guests to use and everything is pristine - including their lovely rooms. Close to downtown.

The Hawthorn has a beautiful, private beach. The location was so lovely. Rooms are simple and clean. The location is close to downtown which is convenient. Customer service at the front desk was friendly and efficient. We would definitely stay there again.

My room was fantastic, I had an ocean view and the bed was very clean and comfortable. Cleaning staff did a great job every day I was there, and there are plenty of beach amenities as well. The location is also superb, right next to Chatham Bars Inn and walking distance to town.

Waking up to sunrise over the water is worth the whole stay. The perennial beds are breathtaking. I didn't even notice the help until I needed something. Then they were right there. We're coming back.

The rooms were very clean, comfortable, and quiet . The location could not be any better ! My children loved the community toy box to use on the beach. The wash your feet shower coming off the beach was clutch ! We had the best time

We enjoyed our visit to Chatham and our stay at The Hawthorne. The weather was wonderful and the view was great. We enjoyed having the kitchenette for coffee and quick snacks. The room was comfortable and very clean, and it was just a short walk downtown for shopping and restaurants. We would definitely stay at The Hawthorne again.

This hotel was perfect for us, a family of four on holiday. Our two rooms, had a kitchenette which gave us the chance to make our own breakfast and lunch, which worked perfectly for us. The accommodation was so comfortable. The seaviews from our bedrooms were stunning. Sean, Megan and Josh were so helpful and answered all our queries regarding local knowledge, places to visit, maps, and recommending restaurants. And one night we used the shared BBQ and had a delicious meal, overlooking the seaview. I couldn't recommend The Hawthorne more - it was a wonderful hotel for us. We loved it!
