This place has a wonderful view of the bay and North Beach Island. It's got the charm and classic style of cape cod and perfect location for a stroll on the beach or walk into town or to light house beach.

The Hawthorne: A peaceful, pleasant, and perfect place from which to explore the Cape for first timers like us.
I stayed there for a wedding. The staff was super helpful and really went above and beyond. The place was beautifully kept and had a charming vibe. I’d definitely recommend it!
You cannot beat this place for the friendly staff. The rooms are spacious and comfortable but nothing beats the view. You are literally on the water. There is a private beach area; the grounds are beautifully kept; it is walking distance to everything and no need to keep up appearances - beach attire is just fine.
Had an amazing experience. View was fantastic, staff was incredibly friendly. Location is literally 2 mins away from everything Chatham has to offer. Will definitely be staying again!
Also, Jeff loves to talk sports!

Rooms are a little tight, but they pack in all the features we wanted. Great location.
This was our 4th time staying at the Hawthorne and we plan on returning next year. The location is excellent for so many reasons, i.e, scenic, walking, shopping. The staff is most accommodating and pleasant.
This place was perfect for our trip. Great view of the ocean and within walking distance to downtown Chatham. The owners were so hospitable and our room was perfect. I honestly can’t say enough good things about this place. We will absolutely be back.
The location is conveniently located to downtown. The views are calming and beautiful. The staff are very professional and friendly. I highly recommend the Hawthorne.
Property is the best beachfront location for the price. Very clean. Beach is literally outside your front door and so easily accessible. Rooms were very clean. A 5 minute drive to Main Street Chatham with so many restaurants nearby. Would stay again.
Wonderful location. The view of the ocean was breathtaking. Hotel staff was friendly and knowledgeable. Only thing snag was the cable was out, so no TV for the period we were there, not any fault of hotel.
Excellent stay, ocean view perfect.Room abit tight w a king bed. Bathroom small. No restaurant or bar. This motel has a motor lodge feel, but outstanding ocean view w beach makes up for room size.

Lovely view and layout. Some outdated items in room and not enough plugs for phone etc. tv is hard to watch where located.
This quaint throwback inn was refreshing. Not a lot of bells and whistles. However, those were not missed because the room was quiet for rest, substantial in space, outstanding view, and simply comfortable. In terms of cost it was more expensive than we normally prefer but definitely in line with other Cape Cod/Chatham properties. The staff and managers are outstanding. Grateful we stayed at The Hawthorne Inn.
Overall great service, clean rooms, nice location. Found an earwig in my shower one day so that wasn’t great but that can probably happen sporadically in a lot of places. The AC units could be a little over aggressive with the cooling but once you learned how to work it you could change it to the temperature you want. Main complaint is the blankets are kind of thin on the beds so it could get chilly.
