AutoCamp Cape Cod

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to go"

Holiday Inn Express Fall River North by IHG

2/10 Terrible

"This was a very disappointing hotel experience. We had no hot water in the morning on consecutive days, which made it difficult for my family to get ready. Hot water is a basic hotel amenity, especially during normal morning hours. I tried contacting the front desk multiple times, but no one answered. I also went downstairs and could not find anyone available at the desk. After waiting for an extended period, I still was not able to speak with anyone. When I raised the issue later, I was told the lack of hot water may have been because many guests were showering at the same time, and I was advised to shower at night instead. Guests should not have to change their shower schedule because a hotel cannot provide reliable hot water. Our room was also not serviced, even though we did not display a “Do Not Disturb” sign. When I brought up these concerns, the response I received did not resolve the issue. I was told to speak with management later, but no clear availability or follow-up was provided. I also contacted IHG guest relations and was told the matter had been reported, but I did not receive any follow-up or resolution from hotel management. Overall, the lack of hot water, unavailable front desk support, missed room service, and absence of follow-up made this a poor stay. I would not stay here again or recommend this hotel."

Iris Hotel Cape Cod

4/10 Poor

"The check in was good. Very nice young woman tending to the desk. My MAJOR complaint comes from the embarrassingly terrible breakfast: Stale bread, beige colored water being handed off as coffee, no fruit, terrible presentation. For a place that sells itself as a spa retreat, my day was sour after this. They should really just close the 'restaurant'"

Vineyard Harbor Motel - Private Beach

4/10 Poor

"Great location for my purposes, hospital visit, the room was “clean” but not perfectly clean- the towel rack in the bathroom fell right off the drywall, not installed properly. The bathroom floor could use a real scrubbing, it felt dirty. It met my needs but that’s all."
