Great staff. Answered all my questions before my visit.The location is super, hidden gem. Close to many great restaurants.I had been to Eastham many times, and I just learned about it. Very cool vibe, unique vintage decor, not super modern, but I prefer the unique.vintage. Great patio in back too. Super relaxing.

If you stay at a regular hotel or inn I feel safe and quiet but not inspired or fun. Rugosa has fun in its soul. Our room had curated art and just beautiful stuff. It was like walking into the mind of an artist--expressive and non-judgemental--I felt like I was in my home. Sure, there is a kitchen, good coffee, beautiful grounds and pets are welcome--but the soul of Rugosa is art and love. Thanks Joey and Luna.

Fun, eclectic vibe with lots of interesting art. Access to a shared kitchen was convenient for a quick meal and to heat up leftovers. First experience with contactless arrival and it all worked fine.
