“Owner has real bad attitude”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 November 2010

I will never stay at Elephant Walk Inn again.

We thought it would be fun to spend a long weekend in PTown and found this place on line. Big mistake.

The owner is possibly one of the most offensive person I ever met. He made it very clear that he could have cared less about guests.

We were glad to leave.

“"Unaffordable Discomfort" with a Deceptive Fee”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 October 2010

people found this review helpful

Billed for 2 nights prior to the trip, which we thought was a deal. The place was tackily decorated, filthy, and lacked hospitality. Upon arriving, we eagerly asked for suggestions for places to visit and got a curt response to check the magazines downstairs! There was continental breakfast served on the first day but not on the second day. Anyway, on our way out, we tidied up the place (stripped the linens, and put them with our wet towels on the bathroom floor), and left the keys downstairs as owner was nowhere to be found. Later that day, we got a call from him saying that our 3-year old dog, who is toilet-trained, peed all over the room, ruined the carpet, etc. and that he was charging us extra for damages! Totally untrue as our dog has been with us all the time and is well-behaved. A cheap shot for trying to extract more money for hi so-called "affordable comfort." The additional charge for this allegation was the equivalent of our 2-night stay! These are desperate times indeed!

The Credit Card Processing statements verify a charge to the writer(s) on Sept 28 at 3:05 pm; the date of the writer(s) arrival with dog. On October 4, 2010, the same amount was returned to the same credit card as the original charge. Verifiable by Bank Statement. On that same day, October 4 at 7:44 pm we did recharge the writer(s) credit card for the exact amount of the original charge which was taken from our Bank Account.

Ther were no extra charges for any possible pet problem. We only wanted the original Guestroom charge including Mass and PTown room tax. We did not question how or why the orignal charge was returned.

We do apoligize if we mistakingly identified the soiled area, on the carpet and padding beneath, as dog urine. We made this assumption by the odor coming from the carpet and padding; also the very wet nature of the "spill," which would indicate a very recent "spill."

We accept the dog's owner statement that the dog was "toilet trained," which we believe means "house broken."

We now wonder the source of the "spillage" found directly in front of the Guestroom's private bathroom. We regret that our possible mistake would elicit such possible comments. We now wonder further if the ageless adage might possibly apply: "Thou dost protest too much."

“This was a great find for us on our travels, good location and the owner was terrific!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 September 2010

Our stay was perfect, we were on an unscheduled travel agenda when we came into Provincetown we decided to stay. The Elephant Walk was perfect and accommodating. I would recommend this Inn to anyone. It has parking and was as close to the main street as possible without being right in the middle of everything which was great for us.

The bed was comfortable and the room very clean. The place had an overall atmosphere that could keep you interested for hours just looking around.

We would love to have the opportunity to return to the area and would definately stay again!

“Absolutely delightful, serene, everything you want in a vacation!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 September 2010

Ideal location w/i walking distance of art district, restaurants, Commercial St. but far enough away to enjoy peace and quiet. Great rooftop view Provincetown, clean rooms, excellant service, wonderful atmosphere and genuine hospitality. Proprietor, Michael Clifford is knowledgeable about history of town as well as where to go and when to go there! Great place to go to relax or take a jaunt into the heart of P-town, continental breakfast available early in morning and very comfortable rooms cool enough even in the heat wave. I have found a new home away from home and look forward to seeing Mr. Clifford and his "Elephant Walk" soon.
