My name is Irina, and I want to share an important story for future guests…read more My fiancé and I stayed one night at Anchor Inn in early September 2025. We loved the location -- beautiful, quiet, and clean. The hotel itself feels far above its 3-star rating. The pool was great, and the room, around $155 per night, was very comfortable. We left happy. Around 2 a.m., I spoke with a pleasant woman at the front desk. I asked if they had ocean-view rooms, and she said yes, "I could reserve one for the following weeks. I told her I'd confirm in the morning after speaking with my fiancé. The next day (September 3, 2025) we checked out. The front desk was empty, so we left without confirming anything. My fiancé decided he didn't have time that month, so we planned to return later. The next day, Anchor Inn charged my debit card $534.34 without my authorization. I immediately called the hotel. The manager, Eva, was extremely rude and unprofessional -- shouting and refusing to listen. She claimed that I had "booked the room," which is false. I never signed or confirmed any reservation, and under Massachusetts Consumer Protection Law (M.G.L. c. 93A) and Federal Electronic Fund Transfer Act (15 U.S.C. § 1693 et seq.), a business cannot charge a consumer's account without explicit authorization or signed consent. Even if a reservation had been made, I had the legal right to cancel before the scheduled stay, and the hotel was obligated to provide a refund under Massachusetts 940 CMR 3.16(3), which prohibits unfair or deceptive practices in business transactions, including the refusal to refund for services not rendered. I explained this to Chase Bank's fraud department, and they agreed with me -- the charge was unauthorized and they refunded my money. Shockingly, on October 22, 2025, the hotel charged my account again -- another $534.34! I called repeatedly; no one answered. My emails were ignored. Chase later informed me that Anchor Inn submitted "documentation" claiming I signed the charge. That is completely false -- I have never signed anything. Submitting false authorization documents constitutes fraud and theft under Massachusetts General Laws c. 266 § 30. What makes this even more painful is my health condition. I have suffered severe pneumonia since April 2025, confirmed by CT and X-ray (lung scarring, chronic cough, loss of voice). These were my last funds meant for medication, oxygen equipment, and masks. By wrongfully taking this money, the hotel put my health and life in danger, violating M.G.L. c. 93A § 2(a), which forbids unfair acts that cause foreseeable harm to consumers. I am now preparing a motion to the Massachusetts Superior Court (Boston) to recover the stolen $534.34 and seek additional damages for fraud, theft, emotional distress, and health endangerment. I will also file complaints with: * Massachusetts Attorney General's Office - Consumer Protection Division * Federal Trade Commission (FTC) * Better Business Bureau (BBB) Please, future guests, be cautious. The location and rooms may be beautiful, but no hotel has the right to charge your card without your permission, and no one deserves to be treated with such aggression and disrespect. -- Irina Boston, MA

I've spent all morning doing reviews of our trip to the Cape last week,…read more First, we rented a car to take our trip to the cape as we often do. However this time we decided to stay a bit longer than usual So we stayed here at Salt Winds & what a nice place be When you wake up to the fresh sea air in the morning it is a wonder one can only experience to admire, Clean rooms great accommodations we will return

One word? AWESOME!…read more Initially, the thought of a B&B creeped me out. I don't like staying over friends or relatives' houses unless I must, let alone some stranger's house in an area I am unfamiliar with. Call me strange, but something about the concept of a B&B has so much in common with a horror film that ends with me getting killed along the line...but not here. My wife and I joined a few of our friends to go to Hyannis and Martha's Vineyard for Memorial Day Weekend and we stayed here. Craig and Ginny (the proprietors) were so friendly and accomodating. Both of them are very personable and full of great local knowledge that they really helped make our stay easier and more pleasant. You will be regaled with Craig's funny stories if you just take the time to speak with him. Ginny is so willing to make the stay as comfortable as possible. You could not ask for better hosts. At no time, did I think they would kill me, and cure my flesh to make sausages like in the movie "Motel Hell". (Sorry, my paranoia is a bit unreasonable). The place is literally a 10-15 min walk from Main street. The beach is 5 min in the opposite direction. You're so close, you can smell the salty air when you step from your room. The rooms are very nice. In fact, you have 2 choices of where to stay: Stay in the main house or the guest house. We stayed in the guest hose, facing the back yard and the large comfortable hammock that gently rocked me to sleep several nights. Our room consisted of a small sleeping area,, a bathroom and a closet. They got cable tv and I do believe there is wi-fi. But why come all the way to Hyannis to surf the web and watch cable? And the room size? Who cares. I was there to see the town, not stay indoors. It was more than adequate and very comfortable. By the way, the breakfast was DELICIOUS. You get two choices: some awesome egg dish or some ceral with yogurt. I went for the eggs and was pleased everytime. Damn, that was good food. Overall, we were extremely pleased. We're definitely going to stay here again. The rates are more than fair for all the accommodations, and the people here really make it worth the stay. My only regret in writing this review is that you'll read this and stay there with your friends and make it harder for me to do so. Do not make me slay you...

I feel like the other reviews are a little harsh. Yes, it's old and has a cottage-like feel but you can clearly see that from the pictures on the website. I wasn't planning on spending much time in the room, so that didn't bother me. I thought the room was comfortable and clean. Hospitality was welcoming and helpful. Also, to address another review, I was able to stay for only one night, but that was through Expedia. Pros: Walking distance to a beach Can borrow beach towels and beach chairs for free Cute outdoor sitting area Access to kitchen with fridge and other appliances Simple breakfast included (cereal, fruit, bagels, etc) Cons: Parking is included in your stay, however the parking area can get full. It is a gravel lot with no parking spaces or parking passes required. My friend and I got back in the middle of the night after a night out and all the spots were taken. It would be really helpful if the spots could be reserved per room so it's guaranteed that you'd always have a space. Also, I think this place would benefit from better lighting. I went down for breakfast in the morning and only windows lit the dining room. Poor lighting just makes the rooms like dark and dingy. I would stay here again!

The room was clean, was warm and had a very nice hot shower. Staff was extremely friendly and you know they have been working their hardest to keep everyone happy. Biggest surprise was the food. Truly outstanding breakfasts, the ones you have after going to Sunday Mass. The other occupants were others without power at home and hundreds of men and women from Eversource that were on Cape to get us all safe and warm in our homes. Therefore, i thank the staff of the Doubletree to give us the amenities of home, doing so with a smile. And i thank the hardworking Eversource folks that began their day early and came back late all in the effort of keeping Cape Cod strong and healthy!

Fairfield Inn Cape Cod on October 3 and 4, 2025…read more The first day of my stay was excellent -- the room was clean, comfortable, and met my expectations. However, the following day I encountered unprofessional and unsanitary conditions that have left me extremely concerned. On Saturday afternoon, I approached the housekeeping staff to request clean towels and politely asked that they not clean my room. The housekeeper I spoke to was dismissive and rude. She asked me to place the used towels on the floor, then handed me a trash bag and instructed me to place the towels inside myself. I found this behavior unprofessional and disrespectful. Worse yet, on Sunday morning, while drying myself after a shower, I was horrified to discover dried blood on one of the supposedly clean towels that the same housekeeper had given me. It was extremely disturbing and unacceptable for a hotel of Marriott's standards. I immediately re-showered and used a clean shirt to dry myself instead. At checkout, I showed the photo of the towel to a front desk employee (a Latina woman), who asked for my phone number on a yellow sticky note and told me the manager would contact me. No one has called me since, and it has been several days.

We consider Simmons Homestead Inn as our "Home away from Home" because of the relaxing feeling we…read moreget just walking in the front door. This is the place that is the center of Cape Cod, and all the features she has to offer; the beaches, restaurants, attractions and nightlife. While Cape Cod is small, only about 50 miles long, we find staying in Hyannis is the best spot to start our day-trips: a ferry ride to Martha's Vineyard, or down the road to Provincetown, both are only minutes away. Instead of blowing our budget, we just return each evening to the inn. Last summer, we enjoyed a glass of wine on the back porch, checked out the menus from a few nearby restaurants, had dinner at Alberto's, and were back at the Inn by 10. Another night, we enjoyed the Hyannis nightlife, and returned around midnight. The comfortable, relaxing solitude of the Inn makes you feet like a thousands miles from anywhere, but we know the Ocean is less than a half mile away, and the restaurants and nightlife are only a half mile the other way. Perfect! That's the nice thing about not being in a hotel downtown. This is why we always come back several times a year to this Inn, Bill the Innkeeper always treats us like royalty each time. (As a frequent guest, he also gives us a discount). See everything Cape Cod, right here in Hyannis Port (on the road leading to Craigville Beach).

The Cape and Islands Democratic Council's Annual Kennedy Legacy dinner honoring our dear friend as…read moreDemocrat of the year with a Certificate of Congressional Recognition presented by US Representative Bill Keating provided the showcase for probably the worst meal I've had in a very long time. From 12 o'clock: Stringy, dry braised beef 'short ribs', very dry rice pilaf with a spoon of the beef sauce to moisten it up a little, flavorless, unseasoned butternut squash ravioli in browned butter with pepitas, exceedingly dry, unseasoned salmon with no sauce, gummy, pasty chicken part with a gluey, tasteless sauce and very tasty glazed carrots. The salt shaker did a lot of work on this meal. The crême brulée was nice. The room's ambiance was cold and sterile with no discernable decor. The podium on the riser was visible scratched, nicked and dinged. There was one bartender for 150+ guests and they were apparently short staffed. P.S. If you're planning an event there, beware. The food, service, and ambiance there sucks (in my personal, and formerly professional opinion).

I was here for a two day conference…read more Given what I experienced, I would not book this hotel for a vacation getaway. For what it needed to be for this conference- it sufficed. I know this hotel has been undergoing changes and renovation so I will keep my eye on the reviews to see if anything improves. The good- the food. Lunch, dinner and breakfast were all buffet were to my surprise was pretty good. I had limited interactions with the staff so cannot comment there. I will say we had a fire alarm go off (I get it), and we were told although the firefighters couldn't find the source, they (the hotel) would keep an extra eye on things and be diligent in our wing. Fifteen minutes later- the alarm in my room started chriping (assumed it was the battery). Called the front desk from the room phone 3 times over 15 minutes- no answer. Called the main number of the hotel from my cell phone and the front desk picked up. They sent maintenance, who stood on the vanity bench from the bathroom to reach the ceiling and change it. In contrast, one of the other room (I was a chaperone for a large group)- their maintenance person put a plastic bag and duct tape over the fire alarm. The bed was comfortable. While our shower was clean, two of the other rooms had bugs in the shower. One room had yellow water from the faucet. At this point it was very late so we had the kids shower in other rooms. Our shower had the overspray on the wall tiles from when they repainted the bathtub. Floors are worn and dust and dirt under the bed. No screens on the sliding door. Two bottles of cheap shampoo and one bar of soap were given - Luckily I brought my own. Now the electrical outlets- none of them could charge a cell phone other than the ones in the bathroom. Multiple chaperones reported the same. When unplugged in the charger, it literally fell out of the wall. And the outlet next to the bed- the switch plate was broken and the outlet was ready to fall out all together. Can't comment on the pool but the kids seemed to enjoy it. Everything else is just... worn and tired and dated and if redone it was not redone well. I would not call this a "resort". Conference center it was.
