Hyannis Inn Motel
473 Main St., Hyannis, Massachusetts 02601, USAWhy We Like It
Reasonably priced, spotlessly clean and convenient to so many things, the Hyannis Inn Motel is a bit of a throwback to different era, when motels were a dime a dozen. While it may not be most cutting-edge in terms of décor, it is comfortable, it has an indoor pool and the staff are exceptionally helpful.
Fodor's Expert Review
The main building of the second oldest motel in Hyannis, a modest two-story spread, served as press headquarters during JFK’s presidential campaign. Today, it's right in the heart of the downtown shopping and retail action. Free parking, an indoor pool and the great location are big pluses for guests.
You Should Know The inn is closed from early October through late April.
