“Not bad on short notice”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 July 2011
1
person found this review helpful

We reserved a room here with only 6 days notice.Everything around was either fully booked or 2 night minimum stay.We arrived around 5 PM and there was one couple ahead of us.We were treated very politely when we were checking in.The sign out front said newly renovated rooms.On our way into the entrance of the motel,we were shocked when we saw the main door in;a white door that had no latch or lock,and it looked like it hadn't been cleaned in weeks.We opened it with our elbows.On to the room itself.We held our breath.Surprise---new carpeting,new linens,good size room,clean bathroom.The soaps,shampoos,etc. were all minimal,but adequate with no waste.The free Wi-Fi worked very well.The TV was quite old,no flat screen,but worked ok with a good selection of channels.We had a very quiet restful night.All in all,a budget no frills hotel.

“The WORST of the Cape”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 June 2011
1
person found this review helpful

I booked here based on good reviews on another web site! Don't believe it. My first impression wasn't too bad. It doesn't look like a dump from the outside. However, when I went into the office, the girl at the reception desk was on the phone and did not even acknowledge that I was in the room! The room we stayed in was dingy, and the indoor pool was not only not heated, it was FRIGID! My son who wants to swim every day of his life could only stand to be in the pool about 10 minutes. I complained to the travel site that this place was not as advertised after one day and demanded a refund from the web site and hotel manager. The hotel manager had an attitude with me and threatened not to give me a refund if we didn't get out within an hour! Our bags were already packed!

Room Tip: Don't Even Bother!!!

“I was treated so rudely on the phone trying to book this place....”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 May 2011
2
people found this review helpful

The Travelodge is apparently now the Thunderbird. I called to inquire about availability for Memorial Day 2011. First of all the person on the phone could not even give me the correct website to view. He kept giving the name backwards. When I finally did get to the website I figured I should probably verify the info on it. My first question /comment was "Oh, I see you have a continental breakfast." The reply was NO, we have told them to take that off the website but they haven't done so. I then began to ask a few other questions to which I did not get answers to. Instead, I was rudely asked why I was asking so many questions and was told that if I got there and did not like the room not to expect a refund. With that I hung up!!

Room Tip: I can not recommend a room.

“Spacious room at a good price”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 October 2010

While we stayed here off season I still though it was good value - especially compared to elsewhere in New England. The room was clean and spacious and was quiet despite the hotel being on the main road through West Yarmouth.

“A Great Stay Even Without ESPN”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 October 2010

We arrived at the Travelodge on a Sunday and stayed 3 nights. The room was very clean,not musty or smelled like cigarettes. The desk staff was very nice at check-in & out. The only problems and they were very small were 1-not enough towels, 2-soap was not reissued every day and 3-being a big Baseball fan(Yankee-Red Sox) game was not on the TV channels that were offered;ESPNU but no ESPN. That's OK though, this motel is on Rte.28 in West Yarmouth and there are plenty of things to do (beaches-Downtown Hyannis-JFK memorial-shopping malls & restaurants nearby! Plymouth is 45 minutes west and Provincetown is 45 minutes east.My favorite restaurant is Sam Diego's on Rte.132 and by far my fave attraction was seeing the seals off the beach in Chatham!
