We stayed with our three young children over Father's Day. The room was perfect, simple and clean. Pool was great and the small porch was ideal for our morning coffee and to drip dry bathing suits. The hosts were wonderful and helpful but not intrusive. Short walk to town for meals or the wonderful oceanographic wonders. This is a gem if you like winding down a few notches...almost like being in another era. Woods Hole is a destination unto itself. We will return.

I have had the pleasure of visiting the Sleepy Hollow Motor Inn at least once per year since the present owners took over in 2001. A sense of relaxation and calm accompanies each visit, as the innkeepers and staff are consistently friendly, courteous, and immediately attentive to any requests and needs. They offer a variety of suggestions for eating and recreation in the area. Making reservations is quick and easy – though I recommend planning ahead, since their strategic location near the ferry port (for Martha's Vineyard) and picturesque downtown Woods Hole makes their rooms in high demand. The rooms themselves are comfortable, clean, and well-maintained, and have free cable TV and wi-fi access. The grounds are well-groomed, with lovely flower arrangements and a clean outdoor pool. With its cozy and charming ambiance, the Sleepy Hollow Motor Inn is as close to a bed and breakfast as a motel can be.

If I were paying $60 per night it would be a stretch to be ok with this place. Fact is, that it cost $170 excluding taxes for a place that literally stinks. The sheets smell like urine or maybe that unwashed mouldy smell... can't tell exactly. The toilet was blocked when we used the toilet for the first time. They got it fixed pretty quickly, but the toilet kept blocking up even with minimal solids and toilet paper. The drapes need to be washed as you can smell them when you close them. The main road it quite loud with all the tractor trailers that come by to go to the ferry to martha's vinyard.
worst of all is the barely friendly service and the lying (yes! lying). I asked when we checked in if they have any AAA discounts (a typical question for us). They said they do not offer that. Subsequently, I saw AAA prominently displayed on their road sign as I suppose a sort of bait. My brother actually had a AAA travel book and we looked this place up. Wouldn't you know that they were clearly listed as offering discounts to AAA members. When we spoke to them, they simply denied that they offer this. We were pointing to the place in the book where it stated this. The woman wouldn't even look at the book saying that they are already discounted and that they don't discriminate based on AAA membership ????!!!!! Needless to mention that the hostility was more than palpable. If you don't mind overpaying for a smelly rude hole, give it a try.

For a small motor inn this place was very nice. We stayed in one of their family rooms and it accomadated 4 adults comfortably. The place is very clean and comfortable. The air conditioner and refridgerator both worked well. The towels were even thick and fluffy. It's just a short walk into Woods Hole for the ferry to Martha's Vineyard, restaurants or the aquarium. There is a 10 mile bike/ped path just down the street that takes you along the coast and into the marshes if you want some exercise. Drive an hour to Barnstable for a whale watching cruise. We had wonderful weather making our weekend even more enjoyable. To relax and go low key, this was a great motel and area to be, especially if you are visiting someone at MBL.
