Sea Crest Beach Hotel

Cape Cod, New England

Virgin rating

The hotel

Just minutes over the Bourne or Sagamore bridges is the Sea Crest Beach Hotel – an old favourite that has just undergone a multi-million dollar renovation. The same great service is still available and the friendly atmosphere, but there’s plenty that’s even better than before. What will never change is the location – overlooking Old Silver Beach, an endless stretch of golden shoreline that really is nothing short of sublime. What have changed are the guest rooms – all have been sumptuously refurnished in soothing colours to bring you the utmost in comfort. The Ocean View Dining Room more than matches the beauty of its vista and Red’s Restaurant and Lounge, named after previous hotel owner and Celtic’s legend, Red Auerbach, is one of the hip and happening places to spend your evening. Just opened is the Ice-Cream shop – sure to prove popular with just about everyone or head to the pool bar and get the barman to whisk you up a refreshing cocktail. A wonderful place to feel big city stress just melt away, there’s plenty to see and do in the nearby area too. There are various golf courses or make like the locals and explore by bike.

My daughter and I had a beautiful room with a breathtaking view. Zac was amazing and truly helpful. We will be returning each year for Mother’s Day!

large construction had most amenities closed. stained comforter on bed, overall rundown. views as described on their website are not accurate from bldgs. 2,3,4. small amount of rooms have unobstructed ocean views most rooms will have pool, parking lot, or other bldgs in between ocean views

I was disappointed since I had called the hotel directly for my reservation. They did not mention there was construction going on or that there amenities were out of order. Two things I value as important. The hotel was clean and the staff was friendly though.

Workers in room at check in....told us to come back in half hour or so, sitting in chairs not working. Window would not shut or lock. Sand on floor. Took 30 minutes to get another room. No cable during rain, in and out otherwise. Phone didnt work.

The view is a 5. The room we are in looks as if recently done so I would give it a 4. Beware that ocean view IS NOT the same as ocean front when making reservations. Two staff members were pleasant.

The view is a 5. The room we are in looks as if recently done so I would give it a 4. Beware that ocean view IS NOT the same as ocean front when making reservations. Two staff members were pleasant. The rest of them, rude and no help. We are very laid back and don’t really let things bother us. However, we actually got up and walked out of the dining room due to rudeness of waitress. I have worked customer service my whole like. Her behavior was not ok. In my opinion, it’s not really worth the money unless you are just looking for a beautiful view. Oh, and the coffee in the morning is not free. Wait, what?!?! Not even complimentary coffee! Two of us from our party (3 rooms) asked at different times to be sure we didn’t hear it wrong. That is ridiculous! I have never stayed at a hotel or inn where coffee was not included. Read less
