AutoCamp Cape Cod

10/10 Excellent

"Exceptional experience. The whole place was adorable, the airstream camp was clean and comfortable, the staff was very friendly and helpful. Leia, our yoga instructor was excellent and made us feel very relaxed and comfortable. She even welcomed our dog to our second yoga class. Pete at the Clubhouse reception was super nice, very friendly and helpful, giving us many recommendations of things to do throughout the weekend. Everyone was very attentive to us and our dog. I absolutely recommend this place and look forward to visiting again in the future."

The Pell - Part of JdV by Hyatt

10/10 Excellent

"Nice place to stay—would return! A short drive to Newport, so best for those who are okay with (or prefer) not being right in the middle of everything. The room was clean and comfortable, and there are some cool seating areas outside of the lobby. The front desk staff was very warm and welcoming and went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed. The curb appeal is not great and had us second guessing our booking, but the inside is a completely different story, and I got the impression the exterior is being renovated soon—don't let it scare you off! My only complaint is that the breakfast was subpar for a paid breakfast and the restaurant staff weren't great. The server wasn't very attentive and the staff stood around chatting about their favorite shots and cocktails the whole time we ate. The kitchen staff was playing music loudly that clashed with the music playing through the restaurant speakers. So definitely stay at the hotel but don't do the breakfast package—just go out for breakfast and you'll have a great stay!"

Sea Crest Beach Resort

6/10 Okay

"When we first pulled up & registered we were very impressed - the lobby was nicely situated & the beach area was simply gorgeous. But . . . No one mentioned no elevators. Since my husband is disabled, we couldn’t take our beachfront room with balcony. he couldn’t do all those stairs. The staff put us in a room in the main building way back where the carpets are old & stained; the elevators dirty; & we had a partial ocean view - and much more of the roof. We were up most of the night listening to our neighbors having a very good time - walls are paper thin. My husband also slipped & fell in the shower / tub & we had to call 911 for assistance. The staff told him to “just use a towel for the bottom of the tub”. No mat or anti-slip grips in the shower & none offered. The building is poorly maintained with leaks evident on the ceilings. The restaurant was good - nice service, good food, very loud. Beautiful ocean view. This resort puts on a very good facade - when you pull up - Wow! But don’t be deceived by that! For the amount being charged per night, we expected more."
