I haven't stayed at the Commodore before, but it seems like it is under new ownership and…read moredirection. The place was given a refresh and improvements have been made. It has a great location steps to the beach (about 250 according to the innkeeper), a pool, a newly obtained liquor license so you can purchase drinks, and a friendly staff. It all made for a pleasant place to stay. The included continental breakfast was very nice - it is limited to 8am to 9:30am. A nice selection of yogurts, cereals, bread items, fruit, hard boiled eggs, juice. Also has one of those press a button, get a pancake machine. A couple of toasters, but they toast slowly. Fresh coffee is available at 7am, and Keurig machine is located in the lobby. The grounds are well maintained with beautiful flowers and greenery out front. The rooms all have chairs so you can sit outside with a pool in the center of property. A good idea for the Commodore would be to install a clothes drying rack in front of the rooms since everyone uses the chairs to hang wet bathing suits, towels, etc.. could make things more convenient and look neater. The rooms were nicely updated. The bathroom in our room (125) was very small, but luckily the sink is outside. The toilet/bathtub area's door barely clears the toilet so it feels a bit small - especially if its more than 2 in a room. The in the wall AC worked well, and the white noise it generates help to block outside noise. There was an issue about drinking your own alcohol you brought in since they now have a liquor license. There was sign in the room that your own alcohol could not be consumed anywhere on the grounds. I never heard of this before, but Massachusetts has strange liquor laws so something you may want to keep in mind. I like they have free to borrow beach chairs and beach carts for bringing stuff to the beach - so no need to pay the $20 parking fee to bring a car to the super close beach. Shuffleboard and cornhole games are on the grounds. Harwich is a nice, family friendly town with some nice places to eat nearby, or a short drive to other parts of the Cape. A good place to stay especially if beach accessibility is your thing!

We checked…read morein to "Arbor Village" I believe was the name and had to take a shuttle it was so far away from main hotel grounds. Upon arrival of the "hotel room" - I use this loosely as it was essentially section 8 housing. We were greeted with a dirty apartment, a large wad of black tangled hair on the bathroom wall, a large wad of seemingly dog / animal hair in the foyer, a loud door in the foyer that slammed loudly and shook the apartment unit upon opening, and a musty smell that I can only assume was mold. Of course, I immediately requested to switch rooms to the main hotel grounds. We checked into an actual hotel room that was clean and normal. The breakfast, beach bar and ocean terrace were all fine experiences. The beach is the reason we return to this hotel property and did not disappoint ... until my husband was assaulted by another hotel guest's child, left unattended, on the beach. We were sitting on the beach when a child threw a large rock the size of my palm right at my unassuming husband's face. The child's parents did nothing. I immediately jumped up to attend to my husband and walk him back to our hotel room to ice his face. After he was situated, I explained the scenario to the concierge and a manager who was walking by. They took down my number and told me they'd reach out after corresponding with the hotel beach bar manager. I never heard back from anyone. Upon check out the next day, I followed up only to be left waiting in the lobby for 30+ minutes and then accosted by the hotel room booking manager. He was dismissive, haughty, rude, condescending, inappropriate, unprofessional and misogynistic. He said, "You should've contacted the police" "I don't know what you want me to do" "What do you want to get from this" when I simply asked him what hotel protocol or recourse would be as this was a hotel guest assaulting another hotel guest on hotel property. My husband's glasses were broken and he was bleeding. They did nothing to correct the situation, apologize or help. I would never stay here again and I am so disappointed as I was excited to show my husband the hotel that my late father, mother and I would return to each summer in my childhood.

My biggest concern with Ocean Club on Smugglers Beach is guest safety…read more During my stay, I observed multiple children lose their balance and fall near the main pool railing. In my opinion, the railing does not appear to be safe, and I believe it should be inspected to ensure it meets all applicable safety requirements. I brought my concerns to several staff members, including the maintenance manager. Unfortunately, I felt my concerns were not taken seriously, and I found the response to be dismissive and disrespectful. When a potential safety issue involving children is reported, I expect it to receive immediate attention. Aside from this issue, the resort itself was okay. However, guest safety should always be the top priority. I hope management addresses this concern promptly so future guests can enjoy their stay without worrying about the safety of the pool area.

Our kids loved the pools and activities - Indoor pool is a plus for bad weather - Our room was clean and updated -Music/ entertainment on some nights -You can use the sister resorts for activities as well Cons: - The onsite restaurant is terrible. We were hoping it would be better this year since they said they were revamping but the food wasn't good. Most people leave the resort for meals. You can also get poolside service but took over half an hour to get 2 drinks - Our room was next to a hallway and people were slamming the door coming in late at night which woke up my kids a couple times. Would be nice if they had soft close doors - upon arrival we didn't know our card had been locked due to suspicious activity and initially declined. Front desk employee seemed very annoyed.

Nature: the beach, flowers, breeze, and bunnies. The "Resort" Reality: * Parking: $25/night--no spots when we arrived (on a Monday night). * Room: Looked like the photos, slept well. * Coffee: 1 used pod, 1 hazelnut. * Breakfast: Buffet nearly empty at 9:30 AM. Ordered à la carte--raw eggs, missing toast, slow service. * Atmosphere: Chaotic. Screaming kids, crying babies, coughing, spilled food, no peace. * Beach: Towels require 1 card each--only given 2. No beachside service. * Food/Drinks: Few options, overpriced. $17 for a plain burger, $15 for weak mixed drinks. * Pool: Packed with kids. Cabanas are rentals--no casual use. * WiFi: Gone by Day 2. That was the last straw. We left early. Some staff were nice, but overall service was inconsistent. This place leans on location and nostalgia, but the experience doesn't justify the price. Maybe worth $250/night--maybe.

It was a slower weekend, likely because the on-site bar and restaurant aren't open for the season yet, and the weather was still a bit chilly. We stayed in the Cross Rip building, one of the two main buildings on the property. The room we stayed in was small, quaint and a bit dated in terms of decor and appliances. There are also a few houses available to rent and a pool house with a game room located across the street. The game room was a bit of a letdown--only the shuffleboard was usable, and we couldn't find paddles or pucks for air hockey or ping pong. It's possible you need to request them, but nothing was clearly indicated and we didn't end up asking about it. The highlight of our stay was definitely the heated pool and outdoor jacuzzi at our building! we spent a lot of time there. It was never crowded, and at times it felt like we had the whole place to ourselves. I imagine it gets a bit busier as the season kicks into gear. Every staff member we interacted with was warm and welcoming. I'd absolutely come back for the peaceful atmosphere and beautiful setting!

Unreal.
