The hotel wasn't too bad and the staff were extremely helpful. The room we were in had been recently renovated so the bathroom was lovely. However the room itself was quite small and it was also quite dark and seemed damp (second floor room). The main problem for us was that we didn't have a car and found it really hard to get around. The walk was a long one toward Hyannis centre and the beach. We took the shuttle bus from outside Shaw's supermarket one day and went to Barnstaple (only one dollar).This was a lovely quaint place and we really enjoyed the beach.
We were disappointed though that the hotel was so far from the main area of Hyannis and the beach. We left two days early and returned to Boston as we didn't feel that we could really get anywhere very easily.

Considering some of the reviews, I was expecting some place kind of scary-but, wow, were we surprised! The hotel and rooms were just renovated; large marble tile walk in shower, all kohler fixtures, great king size bed with feather comforter, leather recliner. Wonderful experience, great pool, nice breakfast, would have liked to try the bar there, but I'm pregnant. Overall, if you are an average (to even above average) person, you will be definetly satisfied with this choice.

booked 4 nights in early june but on arrival we were very disappointed with the standard of the rooms so changed my location
but must say the reception staff could not have tried to be more helpful

We stayed at the Holiday Inn, Hyannis for 5 nights in June. I have stayed in other areas on the cape before and this was a very good choice. Not only is it a central location for sightseeing with easy access to the ferry and airport, but the hotel is located in a great area for walking to restaurants and lots of shopping.

The hotel itself was very well maintained. The rooms are basic but spacious enough to be comfortable. We were fortunate enough to have a room with a renovated bathroom that featured the walk-in glass shower. Some of the rooms have the traditional tub/shower situation but this was better- if you are staying at this hotel I would request that shower. Being allergic to cigarette smoke, I requested a non-smoking room. I was a bit concerned when we walked to our room and found that the hallway smelled of smoke. Not to worry! When we entered our room all signs of the smoke were gone. The staff that we dealt with were friendly and helpful.

The only real downside I can see is that the walls seem to be paper-thin. Conversations that seemed to be of normal volume were easily audible at all times, whether coming from other guests or their televisions. This could be a bit distracting and diffucult to deal with, but luckily we travel with a white noise machine so it didn't really affect us too much. I'd say anyone preparing to spend any time at this hotel should certainly invest in earplugs or a sound machine.

Overall, it's a great value for the money and a great location. We will stay there again.
