Sea Crest Beach Hotel

Front desk at check in was very rude. I booked through the app so I wasn’t able to pick a pet friendly room, even though I had emailed them a week prior to my reservation & no response. At check in I was told all pet friendly rooms are booked & they may not be able to accommodate me with my pet. Also felt racially discriminated by the woman at the fromt desk. Mind you it was also 11 pm at night. I spoke to management who was very nice and found a room for us. However there was no cable or tv for the entire trip as they claimed it was being fixed. The toilet in our room was clogged at arrival and bathroom was pretty outdated. Other than that everything else went pretty smoothly.

I was impressed with the new management this year. They made some very nice changes to the pool/ bar areas and dining restaurants. The check in process is very fast, and rooms were ready by 2 pm the latest, last year we had to wait until 6 pm in July ! More beach chairs are added, so there’s no shortage anymore. The booking and cancellation is much easier now, and the cancellation policy is 10 days instead of 21, which is big plus ! Going to stay there again? Absolutely !

The good: great beach, very swimmable, and water -even for June- was cool but pleasant. Arguably best beach of any hotel on the Cape. Food and beverage were good for what we experienced (drinks from Lantern, pizza from BBPC, lunch from The Hatch). Unfortunately the outdoor bar was closed, and there was no beach service. Not the end of the world. The bad: this place is pretty shabby. Some of the rooms have been refinished and are nice….others not so much. We had a two bedroom suite; our view was a construction truck parked up against one window, a back hoe and port-a-potty out the other. Kind of tough way to spend almost $1000. There are a lot of small things wrong everywhere: multiple holes drilled in the wall trying to mount toilet paper holder, drapes pulled off their rings, cigarette butts piled up outside entryways, the hallways are disgusting, and trash is just all over the place. In the pool, one of the light units was pulled out and just left sitting poolside. Still connected by a cable to its mount. I just don’t think there’s any pride taken in the place, which is a shame. There’s definitely a market for this place, and there were plenty of people there for a mid-June weekday. So many things would be so simple to fix with any care and training. The beach is what sort of saves this place. That said, if you can find even somewhat comparable rates for the Chatham Bars Inn or something on the Vineyard, go there.

Stayed here for a family vacation. To say this resort is filthy would be an understatement. We were supposed to stay three nights and left a day early because we just could not get through another night sleeping and showering in this hotel. Rooms are barley cleaned each day. There were black hairs on my bed the first night. Sinks were never wiped down. There is construction. Some of the amenities like onsite ice cream shops are closed. As a person receiving chemotherapy things need to be clean. I had mentioned that to the manager at the front desk and she didn’t seem to care. We would not return.

For our anniversary we sprung for an ocean front room. Well , we had a view all right - of a very large backhoe parked there. We dealt with that. Next we had no hot water when trying to take a shower before dinner. After calling the front desk, The “engineer “ came to the room to tell us that because we were at the end of the hallway ( ocean front) we were “last on the pipeline” to get hot water and we would have to wait. I emailed the hotel when we got home and did not get a reply. So much for our splurge ….disappointing

Room was comfortable and most of the staff was very friendly Food was basically good in restaurant. Rooms were very clean and met. all expectations The fact that it was right on the beach was totally fantastic, the sunsets were amazing. I’m so happy

This is a run down hotel that charges all the dollars. Restaurant was overpriced, the rooms were run down with doors that looked like they were broken in and there was no hot water for showers. After letting the front desk know we had no hot water, they offered to "send someone", but we were ready to go. There was no discount on the room for the lack of hot water when we got the bill. With a charge of approximately $700 for one night, this was ridiculous. There were also kids running up and down the halls at all hours and knocking on doors, with no one policing them, apparently. The beach was nice, but I would never willingly stay there again.

It was beautiful right on the ocean. I would like to come back in the summer. I wish I knew of this resort when my children were young. Went there for a wedding, everything was beautiful. Hopefully will stay there again when it is not so cold. From check in things went smoothly.

It is very hard to stay in the pool area as it was so warm. I know it needs to be kept warm but this was too much. People were opening the side door to get air. There is a side area for eating but it was too uncomfortable for that. I have no health conditions.
