North Falmouth / Pocasset, Massachusetts

I must apologized for the generic pictures in this blog. I forgot my camera!!

THE HOUSE AT POCASSET

Now THIS is what I would have hoped for in a visit to Cape Cod. I didn't stay here, although alot of the events of the weekend happened there.  This is where the bride, groom, and their families stayed.

You can rent the whole house for a full week at $2500, with discounted rates for military personnel. Based on availability, you can also get single rooms from $75 to $150/night. Fabulous!

SEA CREST OCEANFRONT RESORT AND CONFERENCE CENTER aka MOTEL 6 ON THE BEACH.

I arrived at Boston Logan at 6:50am, after my red-eye flight from Santa Barbara, via Los Angeles. I drove straight to the Sea Crest Oceanfront Resort (and Conference Center), hoping they would have an empty room and allow me to check in. You know, like they said they would when I made the reservation. I got there around 9am, and of course they had no empty rooms. Not only were there no empty rooms, they had no idea when my room would be ready. When I asked if I could just have the first room that was ready (after all, I was standing right there), I was told there was no way they could do that, and I would have to wait for my room. I wasn't asking for an upgrade. Just a common courtesy extended to guests paying $155 + tax a night. Anyway, I was denied, and fell asleep in my car in their parking lot until 1pm.

The front desk manager was horribly abrupt, confrontational, and quite rude. I will never stay at this place again just for her demeanor alone. But wait, there is more.

Sea Crest Resort does not look like the website suggests. It smells like mildew, and there is an old dank feeling to everything. The beds are literally 18 inches off the ground. The cheap bedcovers were that unexplainable material that begs the question, "When was the last time this was washed?" This place is a Motel 6 on the beach. And it's not even a nice beach! Spend your money on one of the plentiful and gorgeous B&B's in the area. The Sea Crest Resort is a heap, and they took $350+ from me over the course of the two nights I was there. Do you know what $350 is? It is more than a round-trip ticket from Santa Barbara to Seattle.
