Hyannis Harbor Hotel

Yes it was off season, shoulder season really. We stayed 2 nights and what a great experience! Large room with two queen beds, flat screen tv and dressing area. The bed was the most comfortable bed I have slept in (other than my own) in recent travels so that’s a BIG plus. Bathroom was tight but you don’t spend much time in there!
Across the street from the boats to the islands and walking distance to downtown. Hotel staff is simply amazing.
We’ll definitely be back!

This hotel was perfectly located. I wasn’t too far from beaches, places to eat, and had a great view.
The bathrooms could use some renovations, but everything else made my stay comfortable. We booked the back of the hotel. We still had a nice balcony, which was nice on a cool August night. If you want to spend a little more, go with the front view because as I said before, the view is really nice — especially at night.
The location really is great, not too far from the town center which has cute little shops, great places to eat, and is scenic.
I guess it was helpful that we got the room facing the back (your view will be trees and a parking lot) since the harbor can get noisy with the boats.
The staff was super nice, the service was great, and I would stay again!
P. s. There is a charge if you park your car in the lot. Which comes in handy if you want to hop on the ferry to go to Martha’s Vineyard (which is right across the street).

$ 15 fee for parking. The room was disgusting. There were dead bugs in the bathtub. Room smelt of mold and even the AC couldn’t help with the smell. Extremely RUDE front desk clerks. Rest of hotel is very dated. Only the location is good, but there are so many other hotels in the same location it would be best to go elsewhere.

What can I say here. Center of Downtown. This is a motel style rooms. They are very roomy with 2 queen beds flat screen small fridge. I will say the beds were pillow top. Very comfortable.
The bathrooms could use tile floor update. The fixtures were nice. My front door and bathroom door stick. The outside property itself is great with a pool and rest/​bar and fire pit. Great hangout late night.
Make sure you when making reservations get the POOL VIEW. anything else views will suffer. You end up with a view of the parking lot. They do have bike racks on the property.
I used a outside website to reserve this room. DONT. call the hotel itself to book and get the room you desire. 15.00 a day to park. FYI.

Not worth the $. The room is dated and parts of the hotel look ‘tired’. In addition, the food at the restaurant was at best, average and the woman at the reception desk needs a crash course in ‘customer service 101′. We paid a peak rate and I wouldn’t even return if they offered us a complimentary one night accommodation to come back.

I stayed here back in June for my birthday and it was a pretty decent experience.
Pros: Room was very clean and area was quiet. Very close to Black Cat Tavern and not a far walk to Main St. Check in/​out was pretty easy and quick. The woman at the desk each time was extremely pleasant.
Cons: Definitely pricey (it was my birthday so i decided to splurge), the indoor pool was locked and finding someone to unlock it was more of a hassle. When the pool was finally unlocked, a mother and her 2 children were there as well and gave extreme attitude that she would have to share the pool with anyone else. It was extremely uncomfortable so I ended up not even using it (not the Hotels fault but sometimes people just suck). I wasn’t a huge fan of the parking fee but there wasn’t much parking elsewhere.

$ 395/​night for a very very dated room. Not a single movie channel-​free or pay per view. $ 15 parking fee. I’m just amazed they get away with this. The location is great and the outside bar/​fire is lovely but the place appears dumpy. If they’re only full a few times a year you’d think they could use the winter months to paint the trims and walls? Just doesn’t seem cared for. Very disappointing. Had I paid half the price id differently but this is nuts Not even sure why I’m giving 2 stars
Please read the other reviews that go into more detail. They are absolutely correct-​this place is a motel at best. So disappointing and very misleading given the lobby and website. It is clean though

The absolute best hotel I’ve ever stayed at. Arrived with a reservation for a queen-​bed room and got upgraded for free to a king harbor view room. Room 238 is right on the corner of the hotel facing the pool and the harbor. The pool was gorgeous and the bluewater grille was delicious. Perfect location to get to Main Street gift shops and restaurants. Fresh Ketch is the best restaurant with the quickest service. The staff at the hotel were always friendly and the hotel was perfect. I wouldn’t ask for anything else, I’m absolutely staying here again and recommending the hotel to anyone looking for a perfect getaway. The pictures on the website reflect exactly how the hotel looks so I’m not sure why that was mentioned as being different in other reviews. This hotel is right on the harbor and is perfect. Thank you so much!!!

So central is why I’m giving it a good rating. Staff super friendly; rooms nothing special; no business type amenities or on demand movies (huh?). The key is getting the right room. If you’re with family and want to be near pool and common spaces, lower level front is great. But we went as a couple and I immediately changed our room to 2^nd floor on the opposite/​back side of the property where it was very quiet.

I haven’t actually stayed there yet, but felt compelled to provide feedback on Keisha at the front desk: she’s absolutely terrific. She made my day. Goes to show, employees really do affect the brand.

Parking fee! Really???
Subpar room. Needs updating.
Felt sand in the sheets
Horrible bathroom. No counter space
Lobby and staff nice
Would not stay again

Walls are paper thin. Ironing board was broken. Cable didn’t work. Never got room service and thermostat was broken. Avoid it like the plague

First of all, this should not be called a hotel but a motel. The service was nice, polite and fast. If u want a bigger room u should consider choosing something else. There is enough space only for the door, TV, the bed and a small fridge.
Another minus is the pool. We went there early September and the weather was nice and warm. The pool closed around 3 or 4 and in the morning we had to wait for it to be opened. The fire logs at night are really nice though to sit by with your favorite drink. That and the friendliness of stuff is the only way its getting 3 stars.

Booked a jacuzzi room for an anniversary celebration… room was nice, bed very comfy — but here was carpet around jacuzzi tub and you couldn’t reach the switch for the tub if you were in it — very strange set up. The bathroom is TINY — very hard to close the door. Had a hard time finding any vending machines to buy water — so walked all the way to lobby thru long halls that were very damp smelling — like a basement.
I though we were on the top floor but there was a «family «room above us in a roof top room — well that was great at 6am when there kids decided to run up and down — needless to say there was no sleeping in on a Sunday morning — when I said something to the front desk was told there was no room above us — must have been coming from the side of us… um — I think I know pounding steps over my head… they agreed yes there was a family room above us — shocking!
Yes I think I would go back — but would request a different room. It’s funny because when I called to book a room the woman wouldn’t rent me a room for one nite — was told it was a 2 nite minimum. I went online and booked one nite in king jacuzzi suite with no problems at all — kind of pricey for off season though…$ 230 for 1 night.
One positive note on the front desk staff — they did give us a great recommendation for breakfast though.

Sub-​par room but it is in a great location and has a view of the harbor. The staff at the desk were friendly but the room was tight and lacked ventilation. I went in the fall and the temp was down. I had to put the air conditioner on fan in order to get air to the room. The website is slightly deceptive. The pictures make it look nicer than it really is but hey isn’t that everywhere else?

In a good location… But horrible service. Front desk personal are rude and not at all helpful. Décor has not been updated maybe ever. If you are looking for an average motel this is your spot.

Great stay! Look, it’s not a 5 star hotel but definitely not a motel either. By the end of our stay we felt it was quite a few steps above motel, not a posh hotel like a major city but also had a few resort type elements (pool, landscaping, bar right by the pool!) it was clean, the service was great and the location was great being steps from the ferry and w/​in a five min walk to Main Street. We had a harbor front room and will definitely return. (Oh, if you’re baseball fans the Hyannis Harbor Hawks play in a field right across the street from the back of the hotel so you can experience the Cape League too!)

ok so the website is very well done, its more like a motel, but a good one.
we had a harbour view room, very big room the shower was good, the bed was comfy, not loud crazy teenagers!
the pool was clean and warm! they have laundry! lovely location looking out on the harbour… really i cant complain, its about the best of the hotel in the area!
i would stay here again!
and the blue water grille is fantastic! food was yum and the drinks were great!
i booked it through the hotel website and got a better rate

We stayed one night at this hotel and loved our experience! The location was ideal for great seafood restaurants and beaches within walking distance. The parking was convenient and the balconies are super nice. The staff was very friendly and gave great recommendations and directions. The layout of the rooms were cute and everything was very clean. Our pool time was very enjoyable as well!
I was surprised to read any negative reviews — if we weren’t headed to a wedding in Princeton the next day, we would have extended our stay! We will definitely stay here on our next trip to the Cape.

I’m a big fan of this hotel and the area! We will defiantly go back! This is not a 5 star hotel but for the cape it’s one of the best I’ve stated in! Nice cute clean rooms! Big pool and hot tub! People were very friendly! There’s a bar and restaurant right on the grounds! How could u ask for anything more!?! Not to mention the great views of the harbor! There such wonderful restaurants right next door too: the black cat and spankys just to name a few!!! The hotel is very close to the center! About 2 blocks!
Oh ya they have FREE PARKING too!
Had a great weekend! Thanks Harbor Hotel!
