Inn on the Square

10/10 Excellent

"Very helpful & friendly staff. Walkable to stores & Restaurants."

The Cape Club Resort

8/10 Good

"The Cape Club Resort in Falmouth is a beautiful property with pristine, impeccably maintained grounds, buildings, and golf course. We stayed in a ground-floor room in Building #1. Our accommodations were exceptionally clean, modern, bright, and comfortable. The bedding and towels were lovely, and the spacious bathroom had a great shower. Everything was thoughtfully appointed. Unfortunately, the significant drawback was the lack of soundproofing. We could hear absolutely everything from neighboring rooms—not just footsteps and doors closing, but conversations, snoring, and virtually every other sound. Very disappointing given the overall quality of the property. The staff, however, were outstanding! Check-in and check-out were seamless. Chris, the golf pro, treated us like longtime members, and we thoroughly enjoyed our round of golf. A special shout-out to Joe and Kelly in the bar and restaurant for their wonderful hospitality and making our evening so much fun! The Cape Club Resort has tremendous potential, with beautiful facilities and an exceptional team. I sincerely hope management addresses the soundproofing issue, as this one improvement would make a world of difference in the guest experience."

Hotel 1620 Plymouth Harbor

8/10 Good

"Staffing was good. The room had alot of spce and was clean. Air conditioner worked well. Room initially smells like chlorine due to the pool but after 5 minutes you dont notice it. The fridge is cold. The carpet in the hallways were visibly messy and something that can be resolved by vacuuming. I don't know how often it is vacuumed but every other day is my recommendation. Kids seem to really enjoy the pool area. The hot tub needs a new liner. That visable green just doesn't give me a good impression. I love that the laundry was free of charge and available. The metal trash bins need to be replace. They're rusting and it doesn't look pleasing. You need a bigger sign of the hotel outside. Overall, it is a good hotel and great location."
