Clean room. Comfortable mattress. No top sheet & fitted sheet was itchy. No extra blankets available. Coffee maker had to be used in the bathroom as cord would not reach plug in room. No soap or handsoap. No kleenex. No basket in bathroom. No stirrers for coffee. A/C was noisy. No USB plugs. It was fine for one night but that was enough.

It was our first time staying there, and we would definitely stay again! The room was small, but clean and quiet and with a nice view of the water. My husband is very tall and we need a king bed, so we were on the 3rd floor with a number of stairs to climb. (Not a problem for us, but if it is for you, you might want to check with the front desk first.) It was the quickest and easiest check-in/out of any hotel experience we've ever had. And the hotel is just a few steps away from a nice restaurant and a pub, both with water views on a very pretty street.

We were here a short time, post high season. The hotel is on the beach with great access. It is walkable to many restaurants. The hotel was clean and ready for our check in. There are some spots on the carpet, and it does look like it had a busy summer. We were comfortable and the bed is really great.

Loved the place. It was a little bit jaded, but it was the end of the season. Bay view rooms are excellent, brilliant views. Onset bay is a really nice place to spend a few days.
Traffic noise from the road out front is not good, perhaps some better double glazing would help.

Parking is a joke if you have anything larger than a compact car. The office was unattended both times we went in there. Our room was not what we expected. There was a gap between the bottom of the door and the threshhold, and we could see daylight through it. There was long brown hair on top of the bedspread and in the bathroom (I have blonde hair). The area around there is okay, but not what we expected for our first visit to the Cape Cod area. Thankfully it was only 2 nights. We booked it because we wanted to stay somewhere that looked like a typical New England B&B instead of a chan hotel and this was far from it. If we ever visit the area, we will most definitely avoid Onset.
