“Not as good as the pictures”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 November 2011
1
person found this review helpful

Not a really bad hotel BUT. we wouldn't go back. It's not nearly as good as the pics on the website. Having read other reviews I realise that we were not the only ones with a musty smelling room, in need of a makeover that had a great view of the parking lot. Our room could be used as a set for a 1960's film. There surely is nicer rooms somewhere in Falmouth. Some of the staff were excellent but some were robotic and off putting especially at Reception. The gardens and outdoor areas are excellent and it's just a few minutes walk from " central " Falmouth.

“Well worth the money.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 October 2011
2
people found this review helpful

We paid the equivalent of 70 English pounds for bed and breakfast here. Yes- the rooms are faded and tired and old fashioned- the bathrooms unsophisticated, but the location and the breakfast experience more than compensated for the sleeping arrangements. If we had been obliged to pay more than 80 English pounds, I would have had a problem with the room which did smell strongly of damp, but let me expand on breakfast.
Paula, the breakfast manager was excellent- warm, friendly, welcoming and efficient. Breakfast itself was great- fresh fruit, cereals, eggs, sausages, bacon, waffles, pancakes, cheese, ham, various breads, bagels, pastries, muffins, etc. We were well set up for most of the day and it was truly great having breakfast.
At the price paid, it really was great value for money. However, it must be said that the surly, miserable, young receptionist who attended to us on arrival needs intensive training in matters of hospitality. My 70 year husband and I had to lug our bags up a steep flight of wooden rickety steps as no assistance was forthcoming. No information was given to us on arrival and the young employee's belligerent glare would have intimidated a statue. After twelve hours of travelling we were exhausted and a stroppy youngster was the last thing we needed, but the experience here got better and better. A good swimming pool with hot tub, lovely grounds, super breakfasts and wonderful location at a fair price ensured our return. It would be nice though if rooms were updated.

“Dump and Staff is Rude”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 October 2011

This was the worst over all experience I have had with a hotel/Inn. The room was dated, dirty and linens were tattered. i Check out same day. When I called to talk with someone about my eperience the satff was rude and the general manager was very rude. He said he would call me back and never did. I accidentally left my glasses behind and they wouldn't ship them to me with a credit card. I am letting every I know and come in contact with waht a horrible place this is. It's a flee bag motel...if that!

“Trip back in time”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 October 2011

Good location but the accommodation seems very tired. Breakfast room below ground, no light and a bit depressing. We struggled to find any vacancies in Cape Cod and this was a last resort really. Not that cheap either. Reminded me of a fifties holiday camp, without all the attractions.

“Attractive hotel with really good outdoor space”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 October 2011

I think most people would be very happy here it is well situated in the delightful village of Falmouth a really short walk from the shops and a collection of varied restaurant. It is about ten minutes stroll to the beach along a road lined with beautiful white New England homes.
The hotel has some accomodation in a main building called 'the pool building' it houses the indoor pool and the dining room. I stayed in a room in this building it was HUGE and most attractive with everything you could wish for. There are also some later added motel type rooms a friend was in one of these and it was a lot smaller but still well furnished.
What really appealed was the grassy area outside..with another pool plus tables and chairs and lots of loungers to chill out on. I would love to spend a whole summer there.
The only small negative is that the area going downstairs to the pool and dining room is rather tired and the breakfast while perfectly adequate, and served by friendly staff was average .
I still have no hesitation in recommending it unless you are someone who wants absolutely top notch posh accomodation, I want to go again!!

Room Tip: I would go for the pool room building. Larger rooms and you can quickly nip to the pool and back wit...
