Hotels near Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution

"The 1st room we were assigned had ants and a chemical smell. I thought perhaps it was their cleaning chemicals but in retrospect it was potentially insect spray. The staff did accommodate us quickly and moved us to another room. The 2nd room was at least bug free but.... it had plaster patching issues all over the ceiling, rust on the L brackets that connected the ceiling to the wall and the wallpaper was curling away from the wall in the corners due to humidty issues. The hotel is in major need of remodeling. The toilets were some of the lowest I have ever seen. The vanity had been replaced but it was a very tall vanity....not counter height. The toilet started leaking around the base on day 2 which was our last day. The breakfast buffet consisted of making belgium waffles, bagels, toast, a muffin, hot oatmeal, and cold cereal. Not any protein at all. Apple juice, milk, coffee and hot tea to drink. Kind of disappointing. Same offering on day 2. It advertises a state of the art fitness center but that consisted of 3 pieces of avg equipment. The lobby of the hotel was nice and appeared to have been updated but I guess they hadn't gotten to anything else yet."

"Very friendly staff. The room was cleaned and as advertised. I would recommend for anyone traveling to Woods Hole or Martha's Vineyard."

"I rented the “cozy” cottage to work on a book, had to leave 2 days early because of unbearable noise. The neighbor was essentially building/rebuilding a house 12 ft away. The owner of the cottage claimed not to know before renting it to me. There were safety issues: The toaster was old and a hazard. Every time I plugged a device into the wall in both the bedroom & the desk area, the socket emitted a spark, so didn’t use the outlet near the bed. A chirping smoke alarm woke me at 3 am on one of the nights. I had to search the cottage for batteries to change it. The owner left no spare garbage bags in the cottage. Luckily I'd been travellng with one. The futon cover in the television area was dirty. There was slight ammonia smell in the cottage when I arrived. It dissipated when opening windows was an option. Unfortunately for most of my stay I needed to keep windows closed (for noise mitigation) and was unable to use the outside area during the day due to noise. from the building site, noise which was audible from 2 blocks away. The owner of the property was grandiose, insouciant, dishonest, and unhelpful in his responses and took 21 hours to respond to noise complaint. I travel often and have never had a negative experience. Photos below show the construction site, & proximity of it to cottage. "
