FAQ
Should we rent a car to get to Provincetown?
Provincetown is very pedestrian friendly and cars are really not necessary to get around. Cabs are available throughout the year and Pedi cabs are available in season. There are many other options for getting to P-town, including Cape Air (year around) and the ferry (in season).
How do we get from the airport/pier?
We can arrange for a private car service to meet you at the pier or airport in Provincetown with sufficient notice. There is a fee associated with this service, payable to the driver.
Do you have parking?
Parking is available on a first-come, first-served basis, however there is generally sufficient compact parking for each room to park one car. We do retain keys of cars on the premises in order to afford other guests access to their vehicles. Should you need to use your vehicle with some frequency, we recommend that you choose to park in a nearby municipal lot where you can have free access to your vehicle.
Do you have any rooms with two beds?
All of our rooms feature one king-size or queen-size bed and are designed for a party of two, except Room 8, which is a king-size bed that can be converted to two twin beds. Please inform us when you reserve Room 8 that you wish to have it converted into two twins.
Do all of your rooms offer air-conditioning?
All of our rooms feature air conditioning with a thermostat in each room. It is important to the functioning of the system that guests not run the air conditioning while the windows are open.

All of our rooms feature a private in-room bathroom with a stall shower. Penthouse 2 and Penthouse 3 also offer a private Jacuzzi tub, in addition to the shower.

Gas-burning fireplaces are available in Rooms 9, 10, 11, PH2 and PH3; the fireplace in the main room is wood-burning. Fireplaces operate seasonally.

In order to offer a relaxing and intimate guest experience, we generally require a two-night stay, and three-nights in the summer season. During certain holiday weekends and themed weeks, our minimum stay is three- or seven-nights. We wish we could accommodate all those who wish to stay, but one of the charms of our inn is its small size.

Yes, you have the ability when booking online to select your specific room.
Do you provide concierge services?
Yes, please let us know as soon as you can if you would like us to arrange for dinner reservations, theater tickets, whale watch tours, dune tours or other activities. We can charge your credit card on file for any applicable fees and hold your tickets until you checkin.
What time is check-in/check out?
Our normal check-in hours are 2-6 p.m., but we make every effort to accommodate early arrivals. If needed, we will store your bags and let you get started with your day. Rooms are invariably available at 2 p.m. and sometimes earlier. Check-out time is 11 a.m. If your have a later departure, we will be happy to store your bags so you may and stay and enjoy the inn’s many amenities until your departure.
What is your cancellation policy?
Cancellations are permitted up to 7 days before arrival. All cancellations must be made in writing via email to 8 Dyer. If you have a refundable rate and must cancel, a fee equal to 10% of the total reservation will be charged. If you cancel less than 7 days before arrival, you will forfeit your payment. Your reservation is not cancelled until you receive a cancellation email from our office. Travel insurance is often worth the small cost and is available during the reservation process or by visiting insuremytrip.com.
Can we depart earlier than expected if something comes up?
You are welcome to leave early; however, early departures are considered cancellations of nights reserved and are non-refundable. We highly recommend travel insurance to protect against last-minute emergencies. You may purchase trip insurance at competitive rates when making your reservation or use the site Insure My Trip insuremytrip.com to get quotes from many insurance providers. Either way, you will have coverage for delays or cancellations due to weather, peril, job loss, and medical crisis. The policies have added benefits for medical care while away, including medical evacuation.
