Very good one night stay!

Review of Windrift Motel
4.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed Sep 11, 2023
Check in was easy and the lady was very friendly and informative. The room itself was nice and looks to have been recently renovated. The beds and pillows were soft and comfortable. Huge TV with lots of channels. A nice little outdoor sitting area with dinette just outside of the room. Good water pressure in the shower. A nice location very close to Hyannis and lots of tasty food.

The only reasons I am not giving 5 stars are the following:

-There were NO sitting areas in the room. Not a single chair. Seemed very odd. We brought the outdoor lawn chairs inside to sit on. No one wants to eat sitting on the bed.
-The bathroom is extremely tiny and has NO storage for toiletries.

We stayed for 2 nights and upon arrival, we thought it was going to be a nice place. However, we went out on the second day and when we returned that night we found that there had been no housekeeping service. The beds weren't made up, the trash can (only one) had not been emptied and the towels & washcloths had not been picked up and replaced. I went to tell the front desk clerk about it and she smiled and said that maybe the chambermaid was tired. I couldn't believe it!

Also, the outdoor pool had it's paint chipping away and some of the chips were floating in the water. We definitely did not want to go swimming.

I would not go back again and would not recommend this lodging property to anyone.

Clean, spacious room with mini fridge, microwave, hair dryer, A/C, TV, which were lovely additions, especially when traveling with kids. The central location was excellent and the staff was exceptional! They really made the experience with their kind, generous hospitality.

Room tip: Don't go to the mini golf next door. More expensive and run down.

Stayed here with family and had two rooms. We all had a horrible stay here. Voiced all our concerns at check out and nothing was done for us. This is a one floor motel with entry directly from the parking lot. Our door was not properly sealed. The was a big gap along the entire door and frame and cold air blew in all night. Did not feel secure with the ill fitting door so we pushed a chair in front of it. Turned on the window unit for heat and it smelled so bad we had to turn it off and had to deal with a freezing cold room. Carpet was stained all over. Beds were terrible. Super noisy/squeaky and saggy mattress. We received only two bath towels that were still wet! They were very thin and stained.
The walls are very thin. We heard the people next to us until 3am. This place does not have someone on the property after 11pm to report issues to, so we had to suffer through all this.
There were so many other issues with the room. We had a horrible, sleepless night.
We asked to speak to the owner and was told they don't have a phone number for them or knew when they would come in. We were told they have our number and would contact us. After three more calls to the motel asking for the owners, we still have not been contacted.
We were very unhappy with our stay. Would never recommend this place.

My sister-in-law and I stayed at Windrift three years ago; it is now under new management and I cannot be positive enough. If you're after a bunch of fancy amenities, this isn't the place for you. It isn't five star in the traditional sense. But: Our room and tiny bathroom with great shower were clean, the beds were very comfortable; we had a small fridge, coffee maker, and microwave, a nice flat screen TV, Wi-Fi, fresh towels and remade bed every day, heat and/or AC under our control, a nice outdoor pool, outside table and chairs, parking directly in front of our room, and a location convenient to all main routes. Oh, and on the way out to somewhere, I asked for a good reading lamp and when we got back, the lamp was by my bed. Staff always pleasant! All for a very reasonable rate!

Room tip: I believe all rooms are ground level; we were there for a week and were not disturbed in any way by ambient noise.
