This is a nice little motel. It is reasonable, clean and the staff are great, especially, Mike, who cooks great bacon and eggs! The pool is clean and the place is quiet. We stayed for three nights while we toured the area, and would highly recommend a stay at the Mermaid Inn.

This hotel is centrally located in Yarmouth. Our room was clean, spacious, updated. Good parking. Excellent staff. Wonderful breakfast included. We arrived in Yarmouth on a Sunday...the city was pretty much closed down. The next day we went to see some of the historical sights & they were closed for the season (Sept 21). If you plan to visit Yarmouth, this motel is a great place to stay. But a day in Yarmouth is quite enough.

Dated, but clean. Noisy room, comfortable bed. Although the bathroom was clean, it is very small with the sink outside of the bathroom. Close to ferry. Delicious made to order breakfast by a super friendly and happy employee- front desk, not so friendly.
