Reviews

Not bad

by Kingofgeography

Was ok, a bit like a youth club in the breakfast are but it’s a reasonable price and the location is good. Free parking and basic breakfast. Rooms were clean. Nice to have coffee outside in the morning.

Last hotel on road trip

by NorthantsAquababe

Great hotel for a chill out after a two week road trip. It was quite busy with families, especially at breakfast but plenty of places to sit. Nice outdoor pool and plenty of sun beds. Inside pool and hot tub also very good, but kids in the hot tub which was annoying even though you told the parents kids weren’t allowed. Great bar, make sure you sign a dollar bill and pin it to the ceiling!!

Enjoyed a drive round Cape Cod plus a day on Martha’s Vineyard.
