My father in law passed away and I had to cancel. They sent a rude and inappropriate text exchange when canceling.

Great experience. Everyone was super friendly and accommodating. They even went out of their way to allow me to leave my truck in the parking lot for an afternoon after my check out.

Great location - about a 10-minute walk to the Steamship Authority. Beautiful views of the bay from the rooms. Kindness of the staff also a plus.

Stunning. This hotel gives you the opportunity to experience the true feeling of staying in a seaside gem…without spending your whole trip budget on a room.

Nice retro motel experience at a very clean and well maintained property with gorgeous views across the Vineyard Sound. Upon arriving, we just found ourselves taking in the view and chilling for the remainder of the evening. No need to go anywhere else! Bed was very comfortable. Becky was friendly and attentive and went to the trouble of calling us after checkout to let us know we had left something behind, which arrived carefully packaged at my house just a few days later. Her care and attention was greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Very basic but functional motel, with a beautiful view of the harbor, and perfectly comfortable. I had a restful night while I visited a relative who lives quite close by. The inn manager and keeper couldn't be nicer.

Enjoyed the pool as the days were very hot. We found the bed very comfortable. No real breakfast or dining amenities (just coffee) but that is all available within a short walk (a few minutes) into town.

We soaked in all the quiet we were looking for....in a very comfortable room with a view of the ocean. Motor Inn and Harbor House staff were warm and helpful and accommodating. The pool was a delightful oasis of calm surrounded by flowers. White butterflies enjoyed, too.
We would very much look forward to a next time!

Sands of time is a gem. Prime location for starters and also a meticulously maintained property with retro appeal. Started everyday with a water view and coffee on our balcony. Ended everyday in the heated pool before a stroll to dinner at any number of good restaurants. The staff is knowledgeable and helpful—everyone made an effort to see that our stay was pleasant. The water, the beach, and a great place to stay. We will go again and again.

The Inn is in a pleasant area in Cape Cod, close to the Steamship over to Martha Vineyards. Close to many local stores/shops. It's a bit old, and nostalgic, but definitely dated. To be expected for this inn though. Check in was pleasant. No breakfast. They did provide Bottled Water.
Ample parking close by the building.
The Inn does need some updating. Room door / locks were quite old, floors are a bit uneven, wallpaper seemed to be cracked/peeling. I had spiders in the corner / ceiling of the room, found a few ants, and the bathroom floor still had hair from previous guests stay.

couples holiday clean hotel needs some TLC in the room where repairs to ceiling not carried out profesionally but did not take away the comfort of the room, comfortable room helpful staff, lack of tea or coffee making facility in room that was a downer even though they had it in reception didnt always want to wander of to reception, after sightseeing, would recommend it was relaxing

The staff very helpful and friendly. The property has beautiful landscaping. I loved I could walk to the ferry and the quaint shops. I would suggest coffee makers in the room. The book in the room needs to be updated also,Shukkers does not have a daily special as in the book. Overall I would absolutely stay there. It has an unique charm.
