Cancellation Policy
You are encouraged to buy Trip Insurance to protect the investment in your trip. You should include the full cost of your stay with us and your transportation into and out of Provincetown (flight, car, ferry). The decision to buy insurance, and from whom, is your choice. You may for your convenience buy trip insurance directly with your reservation. The insurance is through another company and all claims should be addressed to that company. You may cancel your reservation for a full refund minus a 5% cancellation fee on any deposits made up to 90 days before your check-in date. Once you pass the 90-day threshold, the reservation is nonrefundable. If you make the reservation within the 90-day period, the reservation is non refundable. We will open the room or property up and try to sell it again for you. If we can, we will reimburse you what we collect up to your original reservation total for the days we can rent (we do not double dip, but reselling the room is not guaranteed). We may at our discretion, offer a Guest a future "courtesy stay" (valid until the end of the current calendar year). There are no refunds for shortened stays or for early departures, whether we ask you to depart, or you choose to depart (trip insurance recommended as noted above). Second time cancellations of rescheduled stays will forfeit their monies paid or "courtesy stay" value up to full cost of stay based on date of cancellation as noted above.

Parking in Provincetown
Provincetown is a walking and biking town so we encourage you to travel without your car by choosing to come via Fast Ferry or via Cape Air out of Boston Logan Airport). We have limited parking at our private lot at 26th Winthrop Street so YOU MUST REQUEST A PARKING SPOT IN ADVANCE if needed. We find our parking arrangement to be superior to many properties because you keep your keys and come/go as need vs. other properties that have tandem parking which requires staff to keep your keys as they are likely to move your car throughout each day.
Upon pulling up to our Guesthouse property at 164 Commercial, there is 15 Min Unloading Zone between Joe's Coffee (corner of Winthrop/Commercial) and The Prince Albert (corner of Central/Commercial). Turn on your flashers and bring your luggage inside the inn to get registered/checked-in.
