Holiday Inn Hyannis, Hyannis

We checked in and found a room decorated in modern style, including a shower with glass walls. I went back to the desk and said this wouldn't do as bathing a 3 year old would be all but impossible. They immediately found another room for us which was decorated in same style but had a tub w/ shower curtain and a loft ceiling as we were now placed on the second floor. The entire bathroom floor/walls was tiled and there was a granite counter with a modern faucet. There is a large armoir which held a tv, some drawers for storage and a fridge which is a really nice feature. The bed was too soft for my taste (and I do prefer a softer mattress) and the pillows were so high that I had a neck cramp and couldn't sleep...wound up using some bath towels instead. To their credit, they do offer firm and soft pillows. The only true negative was that the walls/door wasn't as soundproof as I would like. The people next door knew several other people in the hotel and while trying to fall asleep I could hear people knocking on their door, followed by their conversation. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The pool is beautiful and has a very low area at 3 feet deep which is great...there were quite a few toddlers who were thrilled at being able to get off the stairs and play in the "big pool." The deep end is 5 feet and was quite a large area. There is also a hot tub for ages 15 and up. There are lounge chairs and table/chairs which surround the area and it was all very clean. There is also a lifeguard on duty which is nice. We were pleasantly surprised with this hotel and would certainly book there again if we stay in the area.

My only comment is that the pool opens too late - it opens at 9 AM so forget about that early morning swim before you take off for your day. Also, by 9 AM, besides being too late to get in that swim, there is also an extensive audience consisting of other hotel guests and their children watching you (taking your dip) from the adjacent dining area as they eat their breakfast...

THE HOLIDAY IN WAS A GREAT PLACE TO STAY THE ROOMS WHERE DECORATED NICELY THE BEDS WHERE COMFORTABLE THE SHOWER WAS GREAT. IT WAS ALSO VERY CLEAN, AND THE LOCATION WAS GREAT, RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER FROM MAIN STREET. I WOULD DEFINETLY GO BACK.
