Adam

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The staff was great and very welcoming throughout our stay. However, when entering the building where our room was located, there was a noticeable mildew smell near the ice machine that could use attention. The room itself was good overall, with just a few minor issues. The bathroom hand shower had a broken mount, and the vanity looked worn and could benefit from a fresh coat of paint. It would also be helpful to have more than one small hook in the bathroom for hanging towels or clothing. On a positive note, the bed was very comfortable, which made for a good night’s sleep. Overall, despite a few maintenance items that could be improved, I would stay here again if I were visiting Hyannis.
