This place has a number of separate buildings. The main one, which contains the office and pool, seems nice enough, but the small outbuilding where I stayed was barely adequate. The carpet was in desperate need of cleaning (I wore flip flops rather than go barefoot on it), the bedding was low-quality and tired, and the bathroom was tiny and basic. The only extras were towels and soap, so if you plan to wash your hair bring your own shampoo. The TV remote, which I received at check-in, didn't work; when I told the fellow at the desk he said "Sometimes they are the wrong brand" and that was that -- luckily I wasn't in Hyannis to catch up on TV, so I made do changing channels manually. The door stuck and the lock seemed flimsy and worn, and the walls and ceilings were thin so I pretty good idea what the family upstairs was up to.
On the plus side the air conditioning worked and the windows open (although one was broken and wouldn't lock), most of the desk staff I encountered were cheerful and helpful, and the location is hard to beat -- only a couple of blocks from the harbor.
Also before I checked in management, to their credit, suggested I have a look at the room -- so really I have only myself to blame: I knew what I was getting into. It should have been a clue that rooms in the outbuilding were available a day before a sunny weekend in early September, when most other places in town (and out on the road near the Cape Cod Mall) were booked. That's what I get for not booking ahead on Cape Cod in late summer!
There are a lot of other places in town, as well as lots of other great beach towns on the Cape, so in the future I'll try to plan ahead and stay at a nicer place -- or at least try for something in the main building!
