“Comfortable, quiet, clean”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 October 2011

We stayed at Sleepy Hollow between 27th and 28th September 2011. There aren't many places to stay in Woods Hole but the Sleepy Hollow Motor Inn is the cheapest room in town. It's located a 5 minute walk from the centre of Woods Hole. The room was clean and comfortable, and the pool area was pleasant to sit by on a hot day. Only one very thin pillow but another was provided when we asked. Would stay here again.

“Great location, bed not so much.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 September 2011

We stayed here one night before catching the ferry to Martha's Vineyard. While the room was a bit pricey, it was tiny! The room was clean, the bath spotless. The double beds were possibly the most uncomfortable I had slept on at a motel. They need to be replaced. It was also a bit noisy at night due to traffic, especially when trucks drove by.
The location is within walking distance to Woods Hole restaurants, so that is a big plus, especially since parking in the area can be difficult.

Room Tip: Try to get a room as far from the street as possible.

A very helpful and honest review. Unfortunately we have to agree about the beds. We were able to determine that they stayed in Room 26 and the beds were as described. Both beds were actually new this year but our supplier provided truly horrible box springs that were weak and noisy. This isn’t an excuse, just a reminder that we will have to be more careful with replacement beds in the future. Obviously they are being changed. Not much we can do about road noise or the size of the rooms. We are a 1960s motel. Our accommodations have been appreciated by many guests but some rooms are limited in size. We certainly appreciate this traveler's recognition of our cleanliness.

“Returning again and again!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 August 2011

We have been traveling to Woods Hole for many years, and continue to choose the Sleepy Hollow Motor Inn for lots of reasons. This motel is in a great location, just steps away from the ferry to Martha's Vineyard and close to shopping and restaurants in Woods Hole as well. The setting is so quaint and the grounds and pool area are meticulously maintained. The hydrangeas are spectacular each and every year! The linens and towels are white as snow. The rooms are always fresh and clean. The owners are extremely personable and accomodating. It feels 'like home' each year that we return.

“Great motel with an extremely friendly staff, within easy walking distance to everything Woods Hole has to offer.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 July 2011

Sandy and the whole staff were exeptional. Very quaint motel with everything you need. While others fought for limited ferry and village parking in Woods Hole, we enjoyed a short walk to not only the ferry, but village favorites Pie In the Sky coffee shop (great coffee and amazing desserts!), Shucker's (Great Lobster Rolls), Quick's Hole Restaurant (Amazing shrimp tacos and of course the gorgeous Nobska Lighthouse.

“My third time staying here.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 July 2011

I have stayed here with my family twice before, once in 1999 and again in 2005, so that tells you that I like this inn. The room this time, as before, was very clean, and the staff was very helpful and friendly. Staying here is like stepping back in time because the inn maintains the feel of a past era, but as I said, the rooms are very clean.

I noticed a slight mildew smell, but it was raining and damp outside, and we were in a shady room - it was not a big deal at all. We opened the windows, and we never had to use the air conditioner because with the windows open, the room was very comfortable. I will say that the bed was not comfortable for me, but I am used to my Temperpedic mattress cover at home, so I am spoiled by that. No one else in my family had a problem sleeping, and the room was quiet. We enjoyed the little porch out front in the afternoon.

The room was spacious - it had two queen beds plus we used the roll away, and we had plenty of room. There was a sliding door to the porch as well as the main door to the room. We loved the blue bathtub and sink, and the shower had excellent water pressure.

We walked to Woods Hole and had a very enjoyable day visiting the aquarium and shops, and we had a great meal (I can't remember the name of the restaurant, but I had an excellent lobster roll).

The nightly rate was high, but it was the cheapest we could find, and, by the way, it was the only room available - we were on our way to Woods Hole without a prior reservation, so we were glad to have such a clean place to stay. I realize, also, that we were staying during the high season, so the rates were most likely at their highest.

I would recommend this inn to other travelers.

Room Tip: In the past I stayed upstairs in a small room, but this time I was downstairs toward the back of the...
