Overall, this hotel did serve its purpose. We stayed here as my husband was having a surgery at Cape Cod Hospital and since we live over an hour from the hospital, we always stay in Hyannis, just in case. The bed was super comfortable. The hotel itself is a bit of a maze. My husband who had surgery on his foot and was on a knee scooter always had to enter through the front and we were in the way back so it was tough as there aren’t many handicap friendly entrance’s. The room was overall clean. The bathroom showed some serious wear and tear. Cracks in the tub and rust and mold places. I wore my flip flops in the shower. The water pressure is awful. You can hear just about anything your neighbors are doing. With that said, It is in the middle of everything and not a far drive from other places and right down the street from the port authority Would I stay here again? If I had to, yes, since it’s close to Cape Cod Hospital. Would I stay here if I was doing a leisure vacation? I’d be willing to give it a second chance as the staff was the absolute sweetest.
We chose to stay at the DoubleTree by Hilton for a wedding in the area, as we are loyal Hilton fans. The hotel is older and quite spread out, featuring both a large indoor and outdoor swimming pool, which was a nice touch. The staff was generally attentive, and we appreciated their efforts. However, we were surprised to find that breakfast in the dining room ends at 10:30 AM, which we didn’t realize until our second day. On that day, housekeeping came by while we were still in the room, and we kindly told them they could proceed with cleaning. Unfortunately, a supervisor later scolded us for this, citing a policy that prevents room attendants from cleaning while guests are present. This interaction felt unprofessional and left us frustrated. If this is indeed a policy, it would have been helpful to be informed of it during check-in or to find a notice in the room. I requested to speak with the head housekeeper to address our concerns. She explained that this policy is a Hilton-wide standard intended for guest safety, particularly regarding cleaning chemicals. While we understand the reasoning, clearer communication about such policies would significantly improve the guest experience. Overall, our stay had its ups and downs. We enjoyed the amenities and the attentive staff, but the lack of communication regarding housekeeping policies was a significant downside.
