Admiralty Inn & Suites

My Fiancee and I booked this trip for a family reunion in town. We are usually a bit skeptical about booking these types of hotels and try to stay more towards the larger hotel brands in hopes to maintain a more consistent experience. However, this trip we could not accomplish that due to the fact that there are just not that many places to stay close to our families event. The room we booked was the King size bed with the jetted tub, we honestly were not expecting much, so the cosmetic issues with the room were nothing to complain about. While the price was high, we knew that booking in a prime vacation spot in prime vacation season could be pricey. We stayed for two days, on the second day the AC in the room left a bit to be desired, but it was not completely unbearable. The curtains did not seem to want to stay closed, which being on the ground floor was a bit disconcerting, and they also had little black spots of what seemed to be from the mold family. The Bathroom was super spacious and even had another tub it in, which confused me as to why not put a shower in if there was already a tub in the room, but I guess that could be done when and if they decide to update or upgrade any of these rooms. All in all, the stay was just about what we expected. An outdated motel that accomplished exactly what it needed to for us, an escape from the family when they became too much to handle. Luckily we did not have to spend too much time in the room for that reason.

Took a long while to check in. Key card would not work on 2 of the exterior doors. Had to walk all the way around complex twice to get desk clerk agent to open the door. Later, going to get ice-no plastic ice bag in the plastic ice bucket mind you- the ice machine was inoperative on my side of hotel. Long journey to other building to get ice. Hotel is in bad need of a renovation; especially for the $300 plus one night accommodation.

The location was very good. Our room smells pretty musty and looked like it needed to be redone. It was large and fairly comfortable. The pool seem nice and clean.

The bed was awful. The pillows were made of rock. The air conditioner was ineffective and the room was uncomfortably hot. The elevator was an unreasonable distance from the room and we had not be warned that was a problem.

I booked this hotel with only hours notice for an impromptu getaway to the cape. I had low expectations due to the star reviews and affordable rate. I was blown away by the cleanliness, fantastic staff, and comfy accommodations. I’ll certainly return to the admiralty inn and recommend to my friends and family as well!
