Directly across from the Hyannis Harbor, the budget Hyannis Holiday Motel has location going for it -- it's a convenient base for day trips to Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket, and is also a short walk to Main Street, with its restaurants and shops. It’s an older, family-run motel, and amenities include indoor and outdoor pools, and free coffee and pastries in the morning, Wi-Fi, and parking. Its 72 rooms, which include one- and two-bedroom suites, are spacious, and many have views of the harbor. Carpeting and bedding have been updated, but decor is dated, and bathrooms are small. Given its reasonable rates in a high-price area, the Hyannis Holiday Motel is a solid choice. But budget travelers could also consider the comparably priced Heritage House Hotel -- it has a lively bar/restaurant, and is in the Hyannis Main Street tourist district.

Scene
A friendly, casual, family-run motel overlooking Hyannis Harbor
In business since 1963, this laid-back family-run motel is a two-story, motor court property where guests can park right in front of their rooms. Friendly and casual, it's the type of place where guests can frequently be found sitting outside their rooms on plastic chairs, chatting and taking in the views of Hyannis Harbor across the street. With two popular restaurants adjacent to the motel, the road swarms with tourists. Inside, the cozy lobby is chock full of brochures promoting all the Cape Cod attractions. It’s decorated with maps, photos, and paintings of the Cape. A portrait of local hero John F. Kennedy hangs on the wall behind the marble-top front desk. The two pools get busy, especially in the afternoon. The outdoor pool has loungers and covered tables, where guests can kick back and take in the sea breezes off the harbor. Throughout the property, decor is outdated, but the motel still has homey appeal.

Rooms
Spacious and well-maintained rooms with dated decor and bathrooms
Hyannis Holiday Motel's 72 rooms are no-frills affairs, but they're spacious and well-maintained, with new bedding and carpeting, air-conditioning, flat-screen TVs, and free Wi-Fi, some of the premium rooms add mini-fridges. All have outdoor sitting areas. Despite these perks, rooms still have a dated, dark look. Plain white walls and speckled gray or blue carpeting set a slightly seafaring palette. Beds bump up the nautical theme with shell-printed duvets and striped pillows, and beach prints on the wall further enhance the look. Rooms lack closets, but wall-mounted steel racks with hangers provide a spot for clothes. Options include rooms with two double beds, and single kings, with Harborview upgrades available. (Standard Rooms overlook the parking lot.) Harborview Suites have two bedrooms, while the Standard Suites have one bedroom and sleeper sofas. Bathrooms are on the small side, with white or light-brown wall tile surrounding the shower/tub combos. Floors have newer-looking beige tiling, and wall-mounted white ceramic sinks serve as vanities. Wall-mounted hairdryers are provided.
