A great place to stay on Cape Cod on a budget! We stayed in a bayside room and the view was super peaceful. The room was also spacious and the beds were comfy. The room service looked very haphazardly done (ex. the beds were only halfway made), but we didn’t have any issues beyond that.
Great bed, great value and great location. The room was neat, clean and tidy. Walls are a little thin (noise) but the amazing bed pits you out quickly. Fantastic value and worthy of your consideration.
Good place to stay and had reasonable rates. It's a basic room for an overnight stay. Not fancy but comfortable. Our room was very clean. There was an issue with the carpet. Felt kinda dirty, but, the owner explains the re black topped the parking lot and it tracked. He said they just bought a special cleaner for so the carpeting. Super nice people,
The location was really convenient to a lot of good places to eat and participate in filler activities. The hotel was outdated and could be just a tad cleaner/kept up With that said, it was quiet, the bed was firm, the shower was good, and it definitely served its purpose. I might give it another shot next year. Pretty view of the bay when you get the bayside view option.
Pleasantly surprised! Couldn’t have been happier.Beds were comfortable with nice pillows and linens.Extremely clear and bathroom sparkled.Indoor pool and hot tub were the best and super clean, hot tub temp was perfect but…. the pool was really warm and very enjoyable. Other guests that we talked with were just as happy. Keep up the good work.
Everything about our stay was wonderful top to bottom with the exception of the billing issue that I found when I got home. The pools and hot tub were very clean as was the entire property. The room was spotless, the beds were very comfortable and the pillows were amazing. I honestly don’t have one complaint about the property or the quality of our stay. Parking can be a bit tough at night and we didn’t even get back that late. We were forced to park in a spot that was far too tight for the size of our vehicle because there was not one other spot in the entire lot. The billing issue was that when I arrived I requested they change the card on file so the balance was on a card the was different from the one I booked with initially. They successfully entered the $100 incidentals hold but then when I got home the rest of the bill was on the credit card I asked to have removed. It’s not a major deal but creates some issue for me as I wanted it on my interest free card. Overall it was a great experience and we will be back this fall.
Stayed for 4 nights. Place was amazing. The employees very friendly especially the manager Lenny. Both pools were great. The backyard was the best tho with the fire pit, gardens and marsh in the back. Will be back. Fantastic stay. For reasonable price for the cape
The rooms are what ypu pay for. Slightly run down, creeky floors both bottom and top floors. But with that being said the grounds are clean and the out back firepits and seating is amazing. The pools are clean especially the indoor on. Would definitely stay here again.
Residential area with classic shingle homes, large Seagull Beach, homey cafes & seafood eateries.
