This review is long overdue, we are still winding down from all the wedding prep, etc. But I write this review on behalf of my husband and I to let everyone, including the owners and their son, know how wonderful they were to work with prior to our wedding and during the wedding weekend itself. Our wedding was in September... More

The Holden Inn represents the old-world charm that Cape Cod offers. Let me be honest: this is not a four-star hotel. It is not meant to be. If you are expecting luxury, stay somewhere else. If you are expecting simple, endearing and picturesque accommodations, then this is the place for you. The Youngs are a great family - they remember... More

My wife and I secured a room with a private bathroom for three nights. We are fairly low maintenance people and figured that the reviews we read could be excused. The grounds themselves are well maintained, and the location is good. Outside of these two positives, there is absolutely nothing acceptable about The Holden Inn. We were there during the... More

I should have trusted Trip Advisor. All the reviews of Holden Inn that described it as horrible - were accurate. The owners should retire and sell the place! It's time for them to give it up! It's just not comfortable. I'm pretty sure the towels and linens were bought 10 years ago at Big Lots or something. There is nothing... More

We just returned from a wonderful weekend in Wellfleet celebrating our family reunion. We had a terrific suite with a sitting room, 2 bedrooms & bath. The room sizes were spacious and very authentic to the area. We could walk to many places, the location was great. The owner was very pleasant & had great suggestions. Thank you for making... More

The Holden Inn offers basic accommodations at a basic rate. The location is terrific and the porch and grounds are well kept. the water view from the lodge is great. My room was spacious, clean and basic. They don't advertise luxury and their prices reflect that. It was a very enjoyable stay and I would return. They were attentive to... More

We were greeted with the pleasantries of a friendly chap, but went downhill from there. We were allowed to look at the room and were satisfied for the initial peek as the weather was very inclement. Okay lets make due. It was late, raining etc.... Went to dinner at a great place right down the street (Mac's Shack). Came back... More

Another person who hides behind a computer screen to discredit a good business. The first problem he encountered during the heavy rains of TS Lee was avoidable by taking the second access to his room. His room has plenting of lighting from table lamps to a ceiling fixture. There is no problem with water pressure as maybe he just doesn't... More

If you want to experience what living conditions were like for the underclass at the turn of the 20th century, or maybe you've always wanted to be in a Dickens novel, this is the place for you!! The rooms are tired, musty, dirty, with creepy crawly things everywhere. The "service" is brimming with contempt and disinterest (at best). Try it... More

The Holden Inn has had a succesful busines since 1918 and gets better every year as our room occupancy increases and the number of wedding hostings grow in numbers. Go figure on this fake review. More

This Inn is exactly what it should be, and a type rapidly disappearing. Reading the many reviews, it is almost entertaining to see some of the intensely negative comments. Obviously, I don't know what some people have experienced, but I can only guess that many have never stayed in a "classic, quaint" Inn of this type. We've stayed here a... More

This is an old inn that needs repair. The bathroom leaked from upstairs and mold was an issue. Our rooms smelled musty and the environment was dated.
