We were attending a Celebration of Life on the Vineyard and wanted a less expensive option for our accommodations. We had stayed here several years ago, (before we started traveling with our dog). Cape Sands was a reasonable drive for places we wanted to visit, particularly Hyannis. It's also a reasonable drive to the Steamship Authority parking lot. Be sure to check out the view in the back. We were fortunate to overlook the lagoon and had a beautiful view of the sunrise and all the wading birds before starting our day.

Room smelled of bleach so much that we had to keep the exhaust in the bathroom the entire stay. The walls were paper thin and heard talking, doors shutting, ambulance and knocking from 12-6:30am. So many people were walking, smoking, and making noise outside of the room that I was unable to sleep the whole night.

The room seems to be clean when you enter the room but has a noxious smell like dirty wet clothes! Curtain or blinds on the bathroom window so I can shower without worrying about people looking in would be nice. The receptionist was very nice and polite so that was a big plus.

Loved everything about the place. We will not have a problem staying there again. It was right on Route 28 and had restaurants and shopping all within a mile or so. Beautiful place. And we were in true fascination over the birds that swam the day away, everyday in the water behind Cape Sands.

Room was clean, but carpeting was still wet from recent shampooing when we first checked in. Noise from furniture being moved around above us in the early hours of the morning, probably shampooing carpets again. Both nights I was awaken from that noise. The room itself was nice, but I think the water in the hot tub near the swimming pool was way too hot. Not sure how safe that was. Probably won't go back.
