Hotels near Sandwich, MA

“As always, the main dining room of the Daniel Webster was beautiful and welcoming. Our server Molly was efficient, pleasant, and fun. My friends and I have eaten here many times and have never been disappointed. The grapenut pudding on the dessert menu is a bonus.”

“PROs: The location is great, and the rooms themselves are clean and have clearly been renovated. The rate is good, and so if you're looking for a truly decent place to stay near the beach at a fair rate, this is probably a good spot.

CONs: There are just details that could benefit from some tightening up, and that in my mind keep it from being a spot I'd seek out again. The wall Heat/AC unit was fussy to say the least. We reset it three times, and it finally operated as it should. When we arrived, it was cold outside, and the room temp was in the 50s, so its needing that much troubleshooting was a bummer. Similarly, despite literally downloading the manual from the web, we could never get the in-room coffeemaker to brew. It's a Keurig knock-off, and it shows. And when we wanted a late night snack, the vending machine wouldn't take bills, just coins.

I love these renovated old-school motels, but when they're not traditionally operated, meaning you don't check in with a human on-site, things really do just have to work for a customer to feel great about the property. We've stayed at several over the years, and while the attempt at excellent was there, the bummer in my mind is that it just wasn't. I hope that a year from now I read that all of these wobbles have been resolved. I'm rooting for Team Sandy Neck.”
