Let me start by saying all we had to do was enter the room before were too distgusting to take our shoes off! It smelled like a dirty bar and the cheap decorations and lack of cleanliness were disturbing. Don't waste your money stay at the holiday inn it was superb! beautiful and less money! wow what a rip off scuddle away from the cuddle and bubble!!!

The International Inn a.k.a Cuddles & Bubbles is not much to look at from the outside and the hallways feel more like a college dorm than a hotel, but the room itself was great. We stayed in a Princess Suite and it was huge, with small sitting area and a vanity table. The bathroom was huge, too, and included a shower for two as well as the hot tub. It was nice to find champagne and chocolate covered strawberries in the fridge. Also lots of bubbles for the hot tub and plenty of towels.

The only disappointing things were that one night room service closed an hour early (unbeknownst to us), and there were no pay-per-view movies available.

But there was plenty of parking, located on a main street and lots of little shops within walking distance. Maybe a little pricey, but I'd return if I could get a good rate.

You ever have a hotel experience that was made enjoyable by the people you're with, and the surrounding area, but the hotel was dismal? This is the experience that my girlfriend of 5 years and I had at the International Inn.

The first and most notable issue that I have with this hotel is its website presense when compared to the actual rooms. For our stay, we stayed in the "Princess Jr. Suite," a so-called smaller version of the Princess Suite. The pictures on the website of quite nice, and I admit, as a marketing technique, your sales pictures should look just slightly more inviting than real life. However, there is no the nice website with the dump you check into.

To call the room "Smaller" is laughable. You can enter the hot tub by stepping of the king-sized bed. The room, and the hotel in general, smells terrible - a mixture of poorly covered smoke (in the so-called "non-smoking area" no less), rotting ocean plants and wet sand. The odor alone nearly sent me out the door - only my choice to try and enjoy this vacation with my significant other kept me there.

The website strikes another failure in the text description. Many of the rooms are described as having nice marble floors, which is not the case. Indeed, there is marble, but the quality is poor, and their age is showing. As is the age of the two-person hot tub - the wall controlled timer for the tub jets managed to jam itself at the 15 minutes mark, leaving two frustrated guests stranded in the hot tub, trying to figure out how to turn the water off without soaking out bedlinen. Because the controls were farther from the tub than the bed was.

Then, there was the extra sales. Every moment of our stay was a sales pitch to buy the gift pack, buy that set of monogrammed glasses. I've paid less for mature films and airplane food than I would have paid for Harry Potter and a room service sandwich.

And all of the above I would have forgiven, if the staff hadn't been amazingly rude. No one had any problems taking my money, but when I gently complained to the Front Desk person, I was yelled at. When I asked for a manager, I was told that I didn't need to see him. My phone calls and E-Mails since have recieved no answers.

It wasn't all bad...the maintenance man who repaired our broken TV was wonderful (if lacking some basic English skills), the restaurant was very tasty (the Lobsters were meatless, but that was ignorable), the area is beautiful and very enjoyable, and the company was perfect.

In summary, ignore everything you read about this hotel on their website - it's all lies. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone. It's fine if you can get them to give you a day rate, but if you're looking for a good time in Cape Cod, stay somewhere else.

I have always regarded the unqualified negative reviews of hotels on Trip Advisor with suspicion; nothing can be that bad. That is, until I stayed at the International Inn at Hyannis, MA. If you are looking for basic shelter for the night, in a reasonably good location, then this may be the place for you. But, if you have any expectations beyond that, read on. In my judgement, this is a very tired old motor inn from the 60's with a cheap whirlpool tub crammed into the bathroom. The experience begins with a front desk staff that consistently is too involved with other things (personal phone conversations, personal conversations with other staff) to give a guest any priority. The beds are, with no hesitation, the worst that I have ever seen in a lodging any where I have stayed in the world. I have not found a motor hotel along the interstate highways to be this miserable. Be advised.
