    Gross brown stain!
    Dave B.

    Absolutely Horrible Stay!!! I booked a Room for 12/6/2025 the day before through Booking.com as they stated that they have a great looking Swimming pool and Hottub available for guests... I was hoping to Unwind and Relax in the hottub and pool but when I arrived after making my Reservation the man at the Front desk said the pools are Closed for the Season!! The Motel & Booking company aren't Coordinating as they should.. I asked for a Refund as I told them the only reason I booked a room was to use the Amenities the site said was Available.. They said there are No Refunds and to call Booking.com about it.. I called and was put on hold for 30 minutes!!! i never got through so I hung up and had no choice but to accept the Room I didn't want or lose the money I spent on the room.. I got in the room, the view from the back window was that of a big garage next door and a dumpster. I then looked in the bathroom and noticed the towels had light brown stains on them! Gross! I tried to Relax by sitting on the bed and watching the Outdated TV & tiny remote.. the guests under my room were Very Loud and didn't Shut up until 10:00pm!! I Would NEVER Stay here again even if I was paid to stay...!!!! I Deserve a FULL REFUND but they probably won't read this and Don't Care!

    5 stars? Hell no. But I'll tell you wut. This place kicks some ass. We drove in the driveway and I was like, "Oh, this is an old motel." Checked in, drove over to the back end where our room is, and was happy to see plants hanging down from suspended planter baskets. Once up the stairs, we struggled a little to push open the door to room 257, and once inside, we were greeted by a big ol' fly! He seemed to like hanging out on a spot on the wall where some spackle had been applied to a hole, but had not been painted. This was our first impression, which might have at best garnered 2 or 3 stars. But I was curious about what I saw in the darkness from the window. I went out to the back, a bit of a walk, but well worth it. There were dozens of little fish leaping out of the river back there, likely being chased by stripers, making tons of noise like a thrashing alligator. It was impressive. The moon was orange as it came up, and some white tailed rabbits came out to greet me. Some dudes were fishing there in the dark. Out behind the first building, the one where you check in, there was a large firepit, happy people sharing smores, and burning torches for extra light. Others were playing that sandbag throwing game, while others joined the group, straight from a door at the back on their room to the back yard. I was jealous. So cool. My body, sore from a day exploring Nantucket, told me to check out the indoor hot tub. It was already like 8:40pm, and it closes at 9pm, so I dragged my fam with me. A dude with his pants pulled up firmly, just below his underwear, warned us that we had 5 more minutes before closing. (I don't mind the way he wears his jeans, I find it entertaining... but it goes to show how down to earth this place operates.) Getting out of the tub, my wife greeted me with a towel that had a pretty massive hole in it, likely a result of repeated laundry bleach burns, which tells me that it was clean. Checking out now, they asked me how I liked my stay. I had a lot to say! I would ABSOLUTELY return.

    Okay, so let's start with the good. The rooms were very clean. The bed was comfortable, The bathroom had a very clean area, and the adjacent sink, ac unit, and dehumidifier all worked well. They have both an indoor pool with a whirlpool and an outdoor pool. Unfortunately, we learned about the bad things before we had a chance to stay there. So things already started off on the wrong foot. When we arrived, we realized that we were a 1/2 hour early, but we noticed three other people were allowed to check in at two thirty. We were told a flat no, that we could not check in at 2:30. We had to wait until three. So we came back at 3 o'clock. Then, while attempting to check in, the woman at the desk couldn't find our appointment and said that she didn't have a reservation for us. So we showed her the confirmation on the phone. Then she went on to say that she found the reservation , but it wasn't paid for (which it was). So, at this point, we started getting really aggravated and raised our voices a little bit. When we did that, everybody in the back came out. That's when they decided to tell us that there was a hundred dollar deposit fee that wasn't in the original contract. We got our deposit back 5 days later, but it's no longer a consideration for future trips to Cape Cod. They need to improve their management and get help that's more coherent.

    View of the bay from the 2nd floor of hotel

    Decent place, especially for the price. We were able to get a room overlooking the "bay" portion of the ocean. Has TWO pools (Indoor/Outdoor) and both looked clean and taken care of. Has strong Air Conditioning and a dehumidifier. Negatives: The wooden steps to the top floor need to be replaced. I had an older person part of my group and he nearly tripped/fell. There's also a "step" entering the office and I nearly fell. Also the floors seemed "slick" so if one WAS to fall...it might be tough to get up. There were also minimal outlets. Towels were scratchier than most. No breakfast. As I said it wasn't a 4/5 star hotel but it was decent/okay for one night.

    Bay View Room view
    Elizabeth R.

    Booked a bay view room recently for two nights and the view itself was absolutely gorgeous. Watching the sunrise over the bay while cranes and ducks splashed in the water was absolutely incredible. The indoor pool and hot tub felt great and check in was so smooth. Our only complaints were that the beds are extremely firm, and while the advertise microwaves as an amenity, they aren't in the rooms but in the common room clear across the parking lot from the Bay View rooms, and the walls are extremely thin, so we could hear the mom next door getting into her kids all day and night. Still a nice place to stay- gorgeous views, clean rooms and friendly staff. We will definitely be back.

    The sliding door in my room

    This place is very much "mehh". It's not the nicest place I've ever stayed in but also, I've spent the night in much worse places. For the most part my room was clean, my only issue was the sliding door leading to the back yard area looked like they haven't bothered cleaning it in decades. I like that they have an outdoor/indoor pool because the weather was bit too cold to use the outdoor pool so it was nice to have the indoor option. Location is ok, it's not in walking distance to the beach but the drive is quick. I'm not mad that I stayed here but I think next time I will pick a hotel that's a in walking distance to restaurants,stores and beaches.

    Nice little spot, close to a lot of things. The hotel itself is decently cleaned, honestly there were a couple of minor things that were missed accidentally(like a spot of food or something that was on the wall from the last occupants). The beds/mattresses are VERY comfortable as well as the fresh white linens and pillows. The bathrooms are very small but there's a bathtub shower in them and a small functioning window for ventilation. Blow dryer and shampoo/soaps are mounted on the wall. We had a small balcony, big enough for one to 2 adults to sit and relax. There's a tall mini fridge but no microwave. TV on a console and and small coffee maker on a medium round table with 2 upholstered chairs. There is a small coat rack, luggage rack and full length mirror. The ac unit worked great too as we like it nice and cold at night. They do not(DO NOT) have any sort of breakfast available(we were expecting it from other reviews). A 5 minute walk can take you to a nice little breakfast house called Heavenly. Also a 2 minute walk next door will take you to DiParma(Italian) which was very good dinner restaurant and you get a lot for your money. There's an outdoor and an indoor(heated) pool and jacuzzi. The staff has been accommodating and friendly. The balcony has a sliding glass door and also a sliding screen. There's a sectioned off fire pit and sitting area behind the hotel with cornhole boards and camp grill next to some woods and a creek. I wasn't expecting it to be as nice as it is but it was a little delight. We are a PCSing military family and I would recommend this to friends visiting. Things to improve: providing a microwave. Add extra towel hooks to the bathroom doors. The drain in our tub leaked water out quickly. Luckily our joint room's tub didn't have that issue so we were able to give all the kids baths in there.

The location is beautiful, and there is so much to do in the area and beyond (and I'm not kidding). The room we had was perfect, enough to fit everyone. We needed a blow-up bed, which the staff cared for without issue. Setting it up took up some space, but thankfully, it is nothing to complain about. The bed we stayed in was comfy. The important thing was that the room was well-cleaned and organized, which we were thrilled about. The facility provides a lot of that, including an indoor restaurant called the Loft Restaurant and Bar and an outdoor one called the Loft Shack in the middle of the parking lot. They even host events, such as outdoor concerts. The website provides more info on that. There is even an indoor building that offers sports such as tennis and basketball and even an arcade room. The Cove provides an indoor and outdoor swimming pool. Overall, we were very impressed with the Cove, with many memories to take in and cherish. Without a doubt, I would stay here again.

We have always visited Bayside during the winter months, so we've never had the opportunity to swim in the outdoor pool, but during our recent visit I took a walk around the property and the outdoor pool looks great as well. There are also two fire pits outdoors with several comfortable Adirondack chairs overlooking a wetlands area with a view of an osprey nest. S'mores kits are available to purchase for use at the fire pits. The rooms are clean and comfortable, and the free breakfast includes a great variety of breads and cereals, several hot items such as eggs, sausage, waffles, as well as self service waffle and pancake machines. Love the variety of coffee options and flavored creamers. The small hotel pub is actually pretty cool as well with lots of dollar bills hanging from the ceiling and tacked to the walls. The story is that guests have written their names on the bills and have fun finding them on return visits to the hotel. The only downside to the Bayside from my perspective is that the pool is very popular with children and the pool can be very crowded. Bayside has implemented some pool rules (no balls, no glass, no floats) and does not allow children in the hot tub. They also have reserved 10-11 PM as adult only time in the pool. We weren't traveling with kids, so we got up early and enjoyed quiet time in the pool first thing in the morning.

    We stayed here for a few nights while exploring Cape Cod. This is definitely an older property, but…read moremore polished than the normal red roofs. The location is excellent with easy access to beaches, restaurants, and other attractions. Check in was fine, although the gentleman at the front desk wasn't particularly friendly and was a little difficult to understand. One thing to know is there are no elevators, so keep that in mind if you're staying on an upper floor or have a lot of luggage. The property itself is pretty big. There's a cute mini golf course out front (more decorative than actually playable), plus a playground and swings for the kids. With some updates and landscaping, the grounds could look really nice. Our room itself was nice. The beds were comfortable, the AC cooled the room well, and I liked that some ground floor rooms have doors leading directly to the parking lot, making it easy to load and unload. The downsides were the tiny bathroom, terrible wifi, and a strange smell in the room. It smelled like carrots... I also tripped and almost fell because of the carpeting which really should be replaced. Housekeeping also missed taking out our trash one day, which was especially frustrating since we had dirty diapers. The indoor heated pool was great and the outdoor pool was nice too. The hot tub area looked a little questionable and the pool room could use a deep cleaning. Breakfast had coffee, juices, yogurt, cereal, fruit, bagels, muffins, eggs, sausage, and a waffle maker. The biggest issue was how crowded it got. Get there early because it gets picked over quickly, and not everything is restocked. The breakfast area also isn't laid out very well, making it difficult to move around when it's busy. The employee working breakfast wasn't particularly pleasant either. We also had an incident during our stay that was resolved amicably so shout out to the guest relations team for handling it professionally. Overall, this hotel is so close to being a much better place to stay. The location is great, the rooms are comfortable, and there are plenty of family friendly amenities. Improve the customer service, replace the carpets, fix the wifi, update some of the fixtures and furniture, and redesign the breakfast area, and this place could easily move up a tier.
