Top Palmer Island Lighthouse Hotel Reviews

Iris Hotel Cape Cod

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was friendly, amenities were nice, room was cozy."

AutoCamp Cape Cod

8/10 Good

"It could have definitely been kept up with a little better; it didn't really feel that clean, but the property was nice. They don't tell you about the fees until you actually check in, so you have to watch out for that. I don't particularly care for the 4:00 check-in and 10:00 check-out; you're not getting a full 24 hours. I did try to call and ask if I could check in early, and they said my room wasn't ready yet, but I'm pretty sure it was because we got there earlier and the cleaning crew had already left."
