Top Palmer Island Hotel Reviews

Iris Hotel Cape Cod

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean room and the most comfortable mattresses that we have experienced."

The Pell - Part of JdV by Hyatt

10/10 Excellent

"This place is amazing!!! Food (flat iron steak & burger) was delish!! Bed and pillows were very comfortable. Room was exceptionally clean!!! We had a King room which has a small table for 2. Front desk had complimentary water with lemon, wonderful lounge area and the bar/restaurant was off the lobby. The room had a coffee machine (not sure how to use it, pods were very tiny), but wish they had complementary coffee in the lobby. I would stay here again and would recommend to all who are traveling into Rhode Island!!!"

Sea Crest Beach Resort

4/10 Poor

"The hotel has an excellent location . They were understaffed. We arrived at 6:00 PM and check in was at 4:00 PM. We were told that they were still cleaning our room . The room was finally ready at 8:00 PM. W e had to change our dinner plans due to this. The staff did not seem to care much , they made it sound like it was out of their hands. There were other people like us that had to wait for their room to be clean. "
