Reviews and Ratings
I stayed at this hotel with my family for a New Year's celebration and found the location excellent for visiting the harbor, Plymouth Rock, and the Mayflower II with easy parking available. However, the rooms were very small and outdated, making it feel cramped at times. The service was a mix of friendly and indifferent staff. The dining options were plentiful and delicious, even though breakfast service could have been more flexible. The hotel facilities were limited to basic workout equipment, but the pool area was a fun space for kids to enjoy.
The hotel is ideally located within walking distance of shops and restaurants, perfect for families. The room was a bit disappointing in terms of size and noise, although the beds were comfortable for sleeping. The service was very friendly and accommodating, with a small mix-up in the restaurant. The location was excellent, close to key attractions and offering convenient on-site amenities. The dining experience was decent but nothing outstanding.
The hotel had a nice location close to the Plymouth Rock, making it historically interesting. The rooms had an old-world charm but were somewhat small and outdated. The service was helpful overall, but not consistently friendly. The dining experience was excellent with a diverse menu. The hotel's central location was convenient for exploring the town.
The hotel offers a fair price, good comfort, and a convenient location. The rooms are clean and comfortable, but they give off a dark and gloomy vibe. The service was pleasant and accommodating, though there were some instances of rudeness. The location is excellent for sightseeing, with proximity to historical sites. The dining experience, including complimentary breakfast, was good overall. The on-site restaurant's food quality was average. Facilities are decent, with room for improvement in maintenance.
After a long drive, I found the hotel in a great location within easy walking distance to Plimouth Patuxet and downtown Plymouth. The rooms, while a bit small, were very clean with comfortable beds and plenty of towels. The service was fantastic in both the hotel and restaurant. The dining experience was pretty good with quick service, although nothing spectacular. The facilities were well-maintained and the water slide was a nice touch. Overall, a comfortable stay with a few minor drawbacks.
