This Holiday Inn has been a go to on the way to Cape Cod. We love its location and convenience to the aquarium and seaport as well. Some things are starting to show signs of aging but overall great stay for overnight travel.

Bed was too soft for my liking and no non-dairy creamer at breakfast. Specifically went with this hotel over another because breakfast was included. We never ate the breakfast or even had coffee because no dairy creamer

Great location, clean rooms and lobby. My only complaint is that the lobby always smelled like old breakfast. You need a signature scent.

Staff was really nice. Hotel is very quiet. I didn’t hear any noise when I’m in the room. Free breakfast always a plus. Def will stay there again if I’m in the area again.

Close to I-95
We had been in this hotel before because of its location, and free parking, but it had changed since no longer has a hot tub and the small pool gets crowded with unattended children.

Room was a good size. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Walkable to Old Mystique Shopping and Mystic Aquarium. Water machine available to fill water bottles which is a big plus. Breakfast avaliable but no variety.
