On five landscaped acres a block from the historic waterfront, the Best Western Plus Cold Spring, Plymouth, Massachusetts, is a quiet South Shore retreat, with rooms and suites featuring free Wi-Fi, a mini-refrigerator, and a microwave, a seasonal heated outdoor pool, and a fitness center, about 36 miles south of Boston.
The setting puts a living-history museum, the Mayflower II, and Plymouth Rock close by, with whale watching on the bay and golf on the area's many courses. Boston lies about 36 miles north for a day trip, and the beaches of Cape Cod begin just a short drive south.
Plymouth is where the Pilgrims came ashore in 1620, and the town wears that history proudly along its harbor. A replica Mayflower II rides at anchor near Plymouth Rock, the Plimoth Patuxet museums recreate the colonial and Wampanoag worlds nearby, and the beaches and dunes of Cape Cod begin just down the coast.
