My family of 5 stayed here this past weekend from May 16 - May 19th, 2013. All we can say it was a very positive experience. The motel is very clean inside and out. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Beds comfy and towels and facecloths were luxurious.Definitely the place to stay in Yarmouth!!

This was a very nice place to stay - very much motel style - not so much hotel. The beds were soooooo comfortable with lots of pillows. Awesome flat-screen tv (big one too) and there was a small fridge and separate sink area, very conveniently located as well close to the water front. Yarmouth is surely a great destination and...

We stayed at the Mermaid last summer for 4 nights. Our room was a housekeeping unit on the second floor overlooking the street and out toward the harbour. The big problem was that there is no air conditioning at all. That meant that in order to cool off our room, we had to open the window ( screen was ok)... More

We are sorry to hear that your stay with us did not surpass expectations. Generally in the summer we have not needed A/C due to the breeze off the harbor. But as time goes by we realize that a change is needed and are in the planning stages of implementing A/C installations. It is our hope that when you travel... More

We were in Yarmouth for our boys basketball tournament. When we arrived at the hotel we were greeted by very friendly and informative staff.

We had to come for business for one night. After checking out the reviews we were so glad we chose Mermaid. Convenient location. Everything was super clean, comfy cozy beds, lots of fluffy pillows.. The only downfall was the tub tap was leaky and the tub wouldn't hold water. The shower was wonderful. Great pressure & lots of hot water.... More

Pets and pet owners are sequestered to back of motel for easy outdoor access. We like having the drive up experience to the motel door so we don't have to drag everything through a lobby especially traveling with kids and pets.
