Sea Crest Beach Resort

10/10 Excellent
"The Sea Crest Beach Resort is a large, sprawling Cape Cod resort, with wonderful amenities, on Old Silver Beach in North Falmouth, MA. It has everything you'll need for a fabulous vacation. The staff is helpful and friendly, the hotel is lovely, there is ample, free parking and it owns a private part of Old Silver Beach. Food and drink is readily available on-site. The Lantern Room serves breakfast (all-you-can-eat buffet), lunch and dinner and they have a great bar. Additionally, there is a pizza place, an ice cream shoppe and a sundries shop where you can pick up coffee, souvenirs and other essentials. They also have a marvelous beach bar and snack bar, to watch the best sunsets on all of Cape Cod. It's family-friendly and there is so much to do in the local area, just a short drive away, including ferries to Martha's Vineyard, Nantucket and visits to Wood's Hole--home of the National Oceanographic Institute and Marine Biology Labs. My room was spacious and comfortable and maid service was spot-on great. WiFi was fast and error-free. Overall, I enjoyed a great stay at the Sea Crest Beach Resort. Enjoy!"

"Friendly, Accommodating and clean for a decent price The front desk had to close early due to an emergency and the staff worked hard to contact us & let us know. They were helpful- also offered us late check out for a small fee & allowed us to use the pool & amenities past our check out time. Room was very clean and neat and bed was extremely comfortable. Their were plenty of towels and the cleaning lady was friendly & good at her job. The outside of the property is a little run down but everything inside was in good shape, especially the pool which was large, clean and private. We will stay here again. It's a decent hotel at a very good price."

"The free parking was nice. The rooms are fine if you’re there for the beach. There wasn’t any housecleaning while we were there so we had to fight sand the whole time but again, that’s why we went. We had a beautiful view and nice people. The lights outside the room stay on until 11pm so it is bright in the rooms. We loved our time there and the ability to walk to the beach whenever we wanted. The last night was ruff because another guest set off their smoke alarm at midnight. We recommend the stay. Bring cash bc the walkable restaurant and shopping is cash only which is inconvenient for us so we door dashed our food."
