Disappointed After Years of Great Stays I’ve stayed at Cape Sand Inn for the past three seasons and was always very satisfied — clean, beautiful rooms and a pleasant atmosphere. Unfortunately, this year was a big letdown. The sheets and blankets were visibly stained and felt unclean. Even worse, the swimming pool was dirty and uninviting — I didn’t feel comfortable swimming or even sitting nearby. It’s disheartening to see the quality drop so dramatically. I hope the management takes this seriously and restores the standards that once made this place special.

Filthy

By far worse place I’ve stayed in since college. One of our friends ended up sleeping in her car. Dirty, trashy, hoping we don’t catch a disease from the visibly dirty sheets. Photos on site are not accurate. Should have been clued in by the sign of no local rentals, it gives hourly hotel vibes. The type of place you stay if you’re on methadone or have more tattoos than teeth, multiple baby daddies, shocked such a place existed on cape cod.

This is an older hotel that has not been updated. The beds are comfortable. Nobody was at the front desk. Rang bell several times. Many guests waiting to check in. Called the phone and someone answered, kinda rude, then someone came to check people in. Staff was in the pool. Close to shopping and food. No food or breakfast on site.

You cannot beat the value of the Cape Sands Inn - for the price, it was excellent! The proximity to a neighboring resort was a big selling point for us, since our family was staying there. Pros: - Very spacious room with living area - Very comfortable bed - Beautiful water view available - Mini-fridge in room - Pump soap, shampoo, conditioner available in room - Very clean overall - Proximity to stores and restaurants Cons: - Limited parking (with a few spaces that are very hard to get in and out of) - Humid rooms - Stained shower curtain
