John Carver Inn & Spa

Great location and my children love the pool/waterslide. We will definitely be back.

The staff were great. The hotel needs some work. The window in the room was so filthy that you couldn’t see out of it. It was the type that tilts in, so there’s no excuse for it being so dirty. We switched rooms, and the next one was cleaner but still dirty. We were in a newly updated room that was already showing signs of wear. There’s no safe in the room. The bathroom vent was dirty. The hotel lobby restrooms are really shabby and not clean. The hallways near the lobby are in need of repainting/updating. The location is fantastic, so that makes up for the shortcomings if you want close proximity to the tourist attractions.

Reasonably priced hotel -- but decor somewhat dated. Room was pretty average. It was clean. Location was good It was annoying that the hotel bar / restaurant wasnt open the nights we were there -- Monday / Tuesday night Location is good for touring round downtown Plymouth

This historical inn was a joy, staff exceptionally good -rooms clean, fun pool, hot tub, sauna, Game Center. JC’s restaurant next door was really good (also Gluten free items) also had cocktails, dinner, breakfast one day all good. A Negative: chef was setting up a buffet for the next morning in the bar and it was so noisy and clattering we left

I first stayed here 12 years ago and the hotel has gone downhill since it changed management. Although my bedroom was very smart with good facilities, the reception staff weren't always helpful and they didn't seem concerned when I had difficulty booking a taxi on my last day as I needed to be at Boston Airport for a specific time as I was flying to Dallas. The reception was run down and although I enjoyed the swimming pool, the pool area was also scruffy along with changing rooms. The restaurant was very good however, with an excellent choice, although some of the restaurant staff could have been more friendly.

We had a bit of a shock upon arriving when we thought we had stumbled of a bit of Rome in Plymouth. The pillars at the entrance is absolutely huge! The hotel in itself has large rooms, good beds, nice staff and a spa with a pool mainly for the kids. Walking distance to most things in Plymouth. Very pleased after visiting

We found this to be a very good choice for visiting Plymouth. The location can’t be beat, it is right near all the historic sites. Very nice pool area, which kids would love. Rooms were clean and comfortable and we’d definitely stay here again.

Let’s start with the good: nice front desk staff, new floor in the room, fridge in the room, new towels, the window opened. But let’s explore further. I paid almost $300 for our room. First thing I did was open the window to air the chemical smell from the new floor and the screen fell out. No big deal. But the room was not close to what a guest would hope for after paying this much. Damaged wallpaper, no full-length space to hang clothes, no decor, narrow room, no safety catch on door, fingerprints and smudges everywhere. The place is very noisy. Paper thin walls. We could hear various guests in surrounding rooms swearing, yelling at kids, blaring the TV, being drunk and stupid in the hallway. It all finally died down around 11:00pm. The pool is ok, especially for younger children. However, the water slide has a broken seam and cut my child’s arm twice. We reported it to the lifeguard who was intermittently texting on his cell phone instead of keeping his eyes on the water at all times. The restaurant is awful. Possibly the worst hotel-adjacent restaurant I’ve been to. Our food was pretty much inedible, except for the hamburger and fries. Gigantic slab of mealy fried fish and soft fries; mashed potatoes with a smoky and spicy sauce on them; wilted salad; sautéed spinach with so much salty broth I threw it away. This place is the classic bait and switch: grand looking outside and with and inviting lobby, but dingy and small-scale once you go further inside. For half the price, I guess it’s ok. But not for the premium they charged us.

The John Carver sorely needs maintenance. The rooms and hallways show a lot of wear and tear. The beds were okay, but not great for a hotel. There was no good place to put your suitcase in our room -- no suitcase stand. The only mirror was in the bathroom; usually hotels have one in the main room too.
