Carlson, Southeast Massachusetts Hotels

After a 5-hour treacherous drive (rain, low visibility), it was especially nice to be greeted by the genuinely friendly clerk and to see the nice, clean lobby. My room was big and clean. It had a little refrigerator and a microwave. But the best site to behold was an ashtray! When I booked, I told was told (online) that it was a smoking room, but I found it hard to believe. I travel a lot, and smoking is not permitted anywhere. I resent this. I mean, I'm paying so much money for my comfort, and I can't do something that brings me comfort? There was even a book of matches in the ashtray. I felt like I was in an old movie. I'm glad at least one hotel out there still believes in the freedom of choice. I slept great in my comfy bed, and all the staff members were so friendly. One example was the woman in charge of the breakfast buffet. I clumsily spilled scrambled eggs all over the counter, and she was right there to clean it. I felt so bad. She smiled and said -- it's okay. Her biggest concern was whether or not there were any eggs left for me to eat. She checked. Eggs low! So she hurried into the kitchen to replenish the eggs. The breakfast wasn't exactly the Four Seasons, but it was just fine for me. They had scrambled eggs, sausages, oatmeal, waffles, assorted pastries, toast, and fruit. Pretty good coffee, too. I easily found this hotel. It's not even one minute off a main highway (27). Don't waste your money on expensive hotels when you can stay at this wonderful hotel!

We enjoyed staying at this hotel the location is brilliant, only a short walk across a road & a car park & you are at the Harbour. Also very easy walking distance of the Mayflower 2, shops, restaurants & the "Rock" (less said about the Rock the better!) Plymouth is a good location for exploring the Cape Cod area by car. Our room was large, clean & comfortable. We were there on holiday although the hotel also caters for business customers. A computer & printer are available to use free of charge, this was useful for checking in to our flight & printing the boarding pass.
