Sea Crest Beach Hotel, North Falmouth

From the front door to the chambermaids, the service is impeccable. Beautifully kept grounds, beach, pools, gift shop. The appointments are delightful: decor, lighting, furnishings in both public space and guest room. The food is consistently wonderful, and the Sunday brunch is a destination. Can you top live music in the bar, at the pool, and at the brunch? This is an establishment that spares no expense for your vacation experience.

Wow, what a difference. We have loved this location in the past but it really needed some updates. The new owners/managment have gone above and beyond!!! The whole place looks fabulous inside and out! We were treated so well by all of the staff we encountered. The new restaurant "Red's" was just great. We ate on the porch overlooking the beach and the food was great. Thew new rooms and baths were beautiful and very comfortable. We will definately be back!!!!

I LOVE the quality of the renovations by the owners, the new staff, the new kitchen, the new furniture, etc. Having stayed here multiple times from January until May - I can attest to the absolute positive turnaround this hotel has just completed. Please make sure you visit Red's bar (new) along with having a sunset dinner in the renovated Ocean View dining area. I have no dog in this hunt - these views are strictly personal, and I have traveled around the world. Must be rated a 5 star for the Cape. ~Rob

My husband and I stayed at the Sea Crest with our 3yr old and our 10 month old. The room was filthy, the bathroom was even dirtier and stunk like urine. the front desk called at 5:30pm and told me to keep my 3yr old quiet. This is not a place to stay with kids and if you like a clean room this isnt the place to stay. Food was aweful but waitresses were so nice. front desk Omar Thomas so rude. Definitely not worth paying any money to stay at.

My husband and I stayed only one night in this horribly overpriced, extremely outdated hotel in June 2009. Not romantic at all. Ocean front rooms are old with chipping paint, faded curtains and carpets. Photo of oceanfront room on their website must have been taken over 25 years ago. Nice service just really bad accommodations. Travel a bit further south on the cape for the Chatham Bars Inn. It will be well worth your trip and money. Avoid Seacrest until the much needed renovations are due to be completed by April 2010.

Attended a conference and found the conference rooms, audio-visuals, exhibitor area, lobby and food to be great! Staff was warm and very helpful. Heard it will soon be remodeled which will add greatly to this spectacular spot on the beach.

Went for a wedding in late september, enjoyed the wedding itself and that's all. Lights in bath, door lock and all but one window didn't work had to "deal with it ". The room unbearably smelled of mold & mildew, had to keep room door open when in it, the a/c was also useless. Hotel staff walked in on semi nude wife without a phone call just a knock and enter, no time for a response, I was in the shower at the time. When I tried to speak to manager about the employee that walked in, he was "no longer on duty" to apologize, even though it was only a half hour later. Also manager did not apologize but said we requested a smoking room so that's what happens. Many other wedding guests had similar experiences, we will NEVER stay again or EVER speak highly of this hotel. Sleep on the beach if you have too you'll be better off.

The staff at the Sea Crest Resort, and I use the term resort lightly as it's more of a motel, is very rude. They were very rude to my family. Luckily we only stayed for 1 night - had we not had other people with us my family & I would have forfeited the night's rental and returned home - the service was that bad. After making us wait an hour & a half for our rooms the "concierge" had the audacity to yell at my daughter for taking one of the brochures that they have out of different attractions. Our fellow travelers had to ask for a different room as theres had an odor to it. Prior to receiving a new one the hotel suggested they leave the room for an hour so they could air it out -this after the hour & a half wait just to get into the room. The location is nice - how could it not be - you're right on the ocean. However there are plenty of places on the waterfront down the Cape to stay that are worth the $$. The Seacrest definitely is not. It is rundown & should be classified as a motel - not a resort. Our room was in desperate need of a makeover. We will never stay here again.

As you drive up to the hotel it looks very nice but once inside, you are greeted by very unfriendly customer service, don't try to ask questions or they will snap at you. Then as you are trying to find your room you can't help but notice dirty carpeting and a musty smell, oh and don't bring a lot of luggage as you will have to haul them up the stair yourself as there is only one or two elevators in whole complex. If you plan on relaxing in the bar during the evening or have a party there the bartender and ancient waitress will only greet you with a snare. The whole resort needs a huge face lift that includes more levators and better customer service.

My husband and I attended a wedding at the resort and spent the weekend (2 night min. stay required). Guest of the wedding were required to book in advance because they block off a bunch of rooms. We thougt we would get an upgraded or a discount. So wrong. The rooms were an absolute dump, way over priced, and not even in the same area as the wedding party. The resort and staff are less than acceptable. Staff was rude and liked to use profanity in ears reach of the guests (including children). Carpet throughout the resort was stained and smelled. Looked like we had a giant blood stain on ours. Never let our bare feet touch the floor, even the shower. Food was OK but over priced. Beach was only nice thing but not $480/2 nights nice. $20 to park next door at public side (same beach) is much better deal and stay some place else. Staff did not cater to bride or groom and were rude to them also. Fire alarm went off in middle of reception and we had to stand out in a thunder storm. They tried to force the bride to stand outside in her gown. After heated arguements and many tears she was allowed to stand just inside the door. 30 min later we were allowed back in but many of their guests had left. Lucky for the newly weds, peolple that stayed were able to return to the reception like noting happened. I'm sure it will be a while before they can look back at it and laugh. Not only does the resort need updates, it needs to be cleaned. Don't recommend it at all.
