Top Palmer Island Lighthouse Hotel Reviews

Howard Johnson by Wyndham Middletown Newport Area

8/10 Good

"I loved it so much because the bed was very nice and it was very clean and the pool looked great and the employees were very helpful 💯😁."

Vineyard Harbor Motel - Private Beach

6/10 Okay

"Great location - in walking distance to ferry. Nice, small private beach. Very small, minimalist rooms that are good for a short stay on the island. Updated furnishings but still an older motel - rooms have a smell; step back from the shower water when someone flushes the toilet or you get scolding hot water, etc."

Holiday Inn Express Fall River North by IHG

6/10 Okay

"Dirty and dated - room overpowered smell of bath products. Dirty floor :( Front Desk Staff - cheerful, professional, amazing! Breakfast looked good - but the coffee was not. The walls are so thin I heard the man next door snoring (lightly!) all night. Not anyone's fault - the property is in a sketchy area and is dated. Its doing the best it can."

Falmouth Inn

6/10 Okay

"I’ve stayed here before as I was on a budget then. Now for my second stay while it’s affordable I probably won’t stay here again. It’s a very typical motel not a hotel. And I’ve never stayed anywhere that had such LOUD ice makers. And they were being used every five minutes. And no elevators so if you have luggage or trouble with stairs you’ll need to request the first floor. The second floor half of it smells of curry. And the breakfast is the exact same thing every day and not that inspiring. If you have kids and are on a budget it’s fine but I’ll upgrade next time I’m at the cape."
