Holiday Inn Express Fall River North by IHG

The Inn on Onset Bay

10/10 Excellent

Iris Hotel Cape Cod

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely property. Would stay here again. Comfortable beds. Nice ambience in lobby. Great breakfast. Views at check in area beautiful. They have a little patio out front where u can sit and stare at the lake. There is a road between hotel and view of lake. Very peaceful there."

The Coonamessett

8/10 Good

"I liked that it was clean but it did have an order. I have never been at an Inn before so there were unexpected things I would have liked. A counter in the bathroom for all my makeup and skin care products. Since there were no counters in the bathroom I had to do my makeup in the room and there was not enough lights for me to see well. So it was a struggle. I would have liked more plugs by the bed. This might just be me being picky. Also I would have liked an ice machine available so I did not have to ask someone to go get it before 8 pm when they closed the office. The staff was very nice and kind and it seems that it is more like a bed and breakfast then an inn. I would recommend it for people who love that more laid back environment. I think I prefer a hotel."

Vineyard Harbor Motel - Private Beach

10/10 Excellent

"We really enjoyed our stay at the Vineyard Harbor Hotel. Its location in regards to the Steamship Authority is perfect. The rooms are clean and tastefully decorated. The staff were great - friendly and helpful! I can’t wait to go back!"
