We had a wonderful time staying with Kathleen and Alicia. We were a group of six (three couples in three rooms) who stayed the weekend, and couldn't have had a more pleasant experience. Both Kathleen and Alicia bent over backwards to make our stay perfect. In fact, when our car battery died, Kathleen went so far as to contact local... More

Kathleen and Alicia are the best. Each time we stay with them is sweeter than the time before. We find that the only thing that surpasses their warming welcome is their dedication to ensuring that their guests are comfortable and happy. True, the Inn is an antique that requires gentler hands, but there aren't many other establishments in Provincetown that... More

The innkeepers are gracious, helpful and friendly to everyone and go out of their way to make sure all of their guests are happy and well taken care of. We have stayed in the same room for the last 7 years (Carriage House 1) as it suits our needs perfectly. They have so many rooms to choose from that everyone... More

We were B&B novices never staying in one before but we just loved The Fairbanks Inn and our experience there. So much so that we have returned a second time. Kathy and Alicia are so welcoming and gracious. We love the historic decor of the inn, the convenient location to town and the continental breakfast especially the homemade granola (plus... More

This was our first visit to an American Inn/B&B so I have purposely held back this report until I had experience of others. My first comment has to be, that with only three rooms in use at the time we stayed why were we given no choice as to our accommodation but were put in a small room fronting on... More

These guests were traveling with another couple. They specifically booked these two rooms in advance -- the least expensive of our accommodations with private bathrooms that are near each other. We had no indication when they checked in that they were unhappy with their rooms and they checked out the next morning. Our website provides a 360 virtual tour of... More

After 23 years we decided to revisit Provincetown and stayed at The Fairbanks Inn. It was wonderful in every way. Our hosts, Kathleen and Alicia, were welcoming and gracious. They accommodated our every need and answered all our questions about dining, beaches, sightseeing and surrounding communities points of interest. They couldn't have been more helpful. We were staying at the... More

With two owners, Kathy and Alicia, who have excellent service skills, the Fairbanks Inn is now one of my favorite places to stay on Cape Cod. The couple provided a leisure experience while accommodating our every need during our stay. I highly recommend the Fairbanks Inn to visitors who wish to be in a fun, relaxed atmosphere during their stay... More

Kathleen and Alicia run this very attractive B&B which has all the charm one would expect from an old sea captain's cottage. There is a wide choice of rooms and unusual features like a rooftop sunning area, a huge book selection and even a hammock for the truly lazy. The dining area is sunny and accomodates guests without anyone feeling... More

We stumbled across the Fairbanks Inn while looking for somewhere to stay in provincetown. We were greeted by the owners who simply couldn't have been nicer or more friendly! We instantly decided to stay and the rooms were, like the rest of the house, atmospheric and charming. The service and cleanliness were simply first class and we were made to... More
