“Back Again for King Arthurs Faire”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 October 2010

We have stayed here before. Last stay was Memorial Day. At that time, they did not have the room we liked, - 339. This time they did. It is a 2.5 room suite with a great Jacuzzi tub. The cost of the suite was $157, - Honors Club [AAA]. Service was great, room was SUPER, and breakfast is nice because of the waffle maker. Some people complain about the waffle maker, but I have found that those who complain are those who do not "read the directions". The room was great, sofa and chair and table in the living room, with a TV. That is great because my wife and I like different programs. Clean, and better than other hotels until you get up to the Marriot vintage Concierge Level. As usually we had a nice place to stay while we went to the Faire.

“Great Getaway!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 September 2010

person found this review helpful

My husband & I only had a feww days to getaway this summer, I chose the Hampton Inn in Fairhaven because the places I wanted to stay, Cape Cod etc... were way too high priced. This Hampton Inn was wonderful! The price was about $110. per night. This also includes breakfaast weach morning of your stay! We were two minutes from the beach, and very close to the cape. We drove to Plymouth, which was only about a 30 min. drive, and went Whale Watching. I don't have one complaint about this trip. For the short amount of time we were there, we saw just about everything we wanted to without it costing us alot for the room. It was wonderful.

“Comfortable if a bit overpriced.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 July 2010

I've stayed at this Hampton Inn for several years over 4th of July weekend. It's not bad, but other stays here have been better. I think they modified the air conditioning since my last stay, since I couldn't get the a/c fan to stay on all night. Saving energy is commendable, but after spending the day outside listening to music at Summerfest, I want to be able to stay cool in my hotel room. I thought the nightly rate even with the senior discount ($135) was a bit pricey, especially since the guest who stayed in the room the previous night only paid $95 (she left her bill on the floor and housekeeping never picked it up). The place is clean, but nothing special.

Like another reviewer here, I found myself in a handicapped room (Room 127). It's was in the middle of a corridor halfway between the exit to the parking lot and the front lobby. I can see how a person with mobility problems could find it difficult to cope with this room -- not the room itself, but in the distances between the room and other hotel facilities. Also, if you are not handicapped, you may find a bit of adjustment is necessary in the bathroom. The toilet is a few inches higher than normal, and if you're short your feet may not touch the ground!

There's free wi-fi in the rooms, but I found it a bit difficult to log on. it took a few attempts before I got on the hotel's network.

If you are coming off I-195 and haven't been here before, this hotel may be a bit difficult to find. There are signs pointing the way from the highway, but there's no sign at the driveway that leads to the hotel's front entrance. The front door is obscured by trees and not visible from the main street at night (or in the daytime if you're not paying attention). It's easy to drive by. If you go past a closed Papa John's Pizza you've gone too far.

“Regular Memorial Day Vacationers”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 June 2010

We stay here for a four or five day Memorial Day weekend. We have stayed here for five years now.

It is a good middle cost hotel. This year we opted for a regular room rather than a two room suite. It was fine. Normally the bargin is the AAA weekend getaway suite for Memorial Day but all were booked before we called.

This year was good and we would return. One morning, when the regular hostess for the breakfast was off, so was the breakfast. The one saver is always the waffle maker. I am not sure where they get it, but it is great. If my children were not grown, I would fine one for home. Makes great waffles.

The cost vs the type and style of the hotel, makes this a great place to stay, and it is close to the Cape Cod Canal, great fishing there.

“I'd stay at a Hampton's Inn again”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 April 2010

person found this review helpful

Hotel was easy to locate, great access to hwy. We requested double beds which was more of a 2 extra large twin beds. The internet was extremely slow, the toilet kept backing up (hotel responded immediately or offered option to change rooms), and the fan in the bathroom didn't work. Breakfast was very convenient for on the go. A lot of places to eat that are near. I recommend a Portuguese restaurant Antonio’s…excellent…really large portions, cash only transactions. Front desk is very helpful with recommendations. Walmart is across the street just in case you've forgotten anything. Staff was extremely helpful with sightseeing, directions and ferry schedule for Martha’s Vineyard. If your planning a trip to MV, stay overnight, the Island has plenty to see, not a very large island, however, it’s the speed limit from town to town that will eat up a lot of time. Watch out! A lot of speed traps so, go the speed limit. Place to eat at MV Zephrus Restaurant at the Mansion House Hotel and Ben & Bills Ice Cream in Oak Bluff’s loved the Blood Orange Sorbet absolutely fabulous.
