“Voted #1 Guestrooms and Service on Cape Cod. One key to the success of this ‘lovely’, ‘gay-friendly B&B’ is staff that ‘spells hospitality with a capital H’; quiet yet ‘in the heart of Provincetown action’, it offers rooms in several restored 19th-century buildings (including a Federal-style whaling captain’s home and a Victorian house), each with period decor as well as modern touches (VCR, voicemail) and some with fireplace and whirlpool; there’s an outdoor pool too.” Zagat Guide
“Top 10 North American Gay Guesthouses. From the elegant yet comfortable furnishings, to the thoughtful amenities, to the professional, hard-working and gracious staff, this is a class act and our first choice house in town. With their 1997 expansion, they have created a luxury gay resort without equal - anywhere in the world. What the expansion took away in intimate charm, it more than made up for with facilities, which now include a huge hot tub, infinity-edge pool, landscaped brick pool deck, phones, TV/VCRs, Bose clock radios, luxury bath amenities - the works. The location is perfect, and the guest experience will impress even the most jaded travelers.” Out & About

The new rooms are set in a few buildings around a central pool, and every conceivable detail has been considered; furnishings are subtle and elegant New England, and the craftsmanship in the bedrooms and bathrooms is stunning…” Fodor’s Gay Guide to the USA
“More aptly described as a luxurious private enclave, completely fenced-in and gated, The Brass Key has catapulted Provincetown accommodations to a different level. All 43 rooms, around an enclosed courtyard with pool, spa, and lounge chairs, are completely different from one another. A few generalizations can be made, though: Look for vaulted ceilings, working fireplaces, whirlpool baths, fancy amenities, nightly turn-down service, antiques, and plenty of style and grace. It’s all very elegant and sophisticated.” Cape Cod - The Explorer’s Guide
