Parker Beach Lodge

This Inn is totally overpriced! The first day our rooms were done, even if very poorly. But on the second day the room service only did our comforter, the beds were not properly done, no fresh towels, no cleaning nothing. Why do they come into our room and don’t just do the comforter. The pictures are AFTER room service! After complaining the incompetent man at the front desk told us that the room service is only on request and send us to grab fresh towels by ourselves. For that price it’s ridiculous! There is no breakfast. Parking costs extra! Rooms are sparsely furnished and very small. Beds are uncomfortable and cracking all the time, A/C is very noisy. Staff very unfriendly and don’t speak English, even at the front desk you hardly understand them. Luckily we stayed only 3 nights. If I had to say one good thing, it’s the location close to the beach. But there are plenty of other better options with a good location. If you want to stay in a shabby motel for the price of a good and clean hotel, this is the place you’re looking for. Otherwise don’t spoil your stay in beautiful Cape Cod.

Service is disappointing at best. Asked the front desk for new towels, he said to go find a cleaning person and ask them. I clarified that he wanted me to go around the hotel looking for a cleaning person to ask for new towels and that he could not ask them for me, he said yes. I walked around the whole place, no cleaning people. We left for the day and came back, finally found a cleaner and asked for new towels, they were decently quick about it. Now, we had a spill on the bed and it went through the sheet covering the comforter and it got on the comforter. We couldn’t find any cleaning people and had to leave for the day. When we came back we asked the front desk again for a new comforter and sheets. He said that all the cleaning people are gone so that’s not possible… how is that an acceptable response? I clarified that he expected us to sleep with nothing on the bed tonight. He said he could try to find something. He came up with a mattress protector and pool towels. My partner went to ask and he said he understood now that we need the comforter and sheets and would have them for us when we returned again that evening. Surprise, he did not have them. And had my partner go to the storage room with him to try and pick it out herself. He then said that they don’t have any. The man at the front desk is incompetent beyond reason. Will happily be avoiding any Bluebird or Lark properties and making sure our friends and family avoid them as well. TL;DR the front desk staff is incapable of helping with basic asks like extra towels or linens - especially after hours

Cute, quaint, clean lodging! We arrived late evening on our scheduled check in day & after hours of travel and was so kindly greeted by the night staff member who was very helpful to help us get checked in. Our plans changed during our travel time for location (we were traveling to move our Daughter to the Cape for a job) so we only ended up needing one night- he was so understanding and passed off notes to the morning staff member who was also so kind and helpful as well. We thoroughly enjoyed conversation with staff regarding the area, And renovations recently done of the place! Very quiet location, walking distance to the beach, In a very nice pool/patio conversation area.

I felt safe staying here solo while visiting friends who were staying at a nearby resort. I was welcomed by a friendly person who offered tips to make my stay more comfortable. The room was spotless, and a fair value for the area. I wasn't expecting the $25 parking fee, I don't remember it being mentioned in the listing. The town is replacing the water mains in the street outside, apparently for the second year in a row, this made it a little challenging to navigate the area. I would definitely consider staying here again.

The best thing about Parker beach lodge is its beach proximity, just across the street from the lodge. What could be improved is the room service. We went 2 days without room service and had to bug them before it was done. Aside this we had a wonderful stay.

Had a great short stay at Parker beach lodge, the room are clean, well designed and look like they’d been recently renovated with a handy little microwave and kitchen sink for washing up/reheating/popcorn! Parking was an additional $25 a night given spaces are a bit limited

This place is so bizarre. Our bathroom has a backlight for some reason? The smoke detectors went off at 2:10am and 3:45am while we were sleeping. The guy at the front, who seems to be the only poor soul working here, couldn’t reach the detector so my husband had to remove it. We stayed for six days and didn’t have a working detector. They told us maintenance may or may not come into our room during our trip. They had no other rooms with a single bed to put us in so we stayed in this limbo of never relaxing because we may need to leave our room at a moments notice. We made our reservation over a month ago and they knew how long we’d be here. Why would they book us in a room that we couldn’t use? The tv and its remote were a mystery. We’re tech savvy but somehow it was impossible to get the right resolution so whatever we watched had a thick black border around it. And yes, like others say, the plumbing is terrible with standing water in the tub. The front desk said that’s just how it is since they were at full capacity. Looking at other reviews, it just looks like the excuse of the week. The bathroom door was too wide for the opening so you’d need to force it open. The ac and the fridge worked, at least. The cleaning staff were good, except they skipped our room a day without reason. But overall, a seriously terrible experience during our vacation.

Extremely Unprofessional and Poor Communication – Avoid if You Can We were supposed to stay at Parker Beach Lodge, but after a deeply unprofessional experience with the manager, we chose to not stay here — even though he made that process unnecessarily difficult too. The manager called the morning of our check-in claiming he had been trying to reach me every day since I booked and had left multiple voicemails. In reality, he only called three times, and only left one vague voicemail saying he “wanted to ask me something.” Naturally, I assumed it was something minor — like confirming my husband’s AAA info — and not anything urgent or important. I even called back twice, but got no answer. When he finally returned my call, he made no mention of the urgency or problem in advance. No email, no text, no proper voicemail — just poor communication. That morning, he informed me (for the first time) that the king suite we booked was no longer pet-friendly, and our only option was to switch to a two-queen room for a $45/night pet fee. That’s not what their website says — it lists a $75 flat pet fee. After a long pause as I tried to process the surprise fee, he suddenly offered $35/night and said that was the best he could do because we used an AAA discount. We asked if, under the circumstances, we could shorten our stay to just one night. He agreed — but we still felt uneasy. A few minutes later, we called again to ask about the cancellation policy, and he said it would be 50%. When we asked if that was 50% of the new one-night stay, he hesitated, then admitted he didn’t know what the system would charge us, how taxes would be calculated, or what the final number would be. It was incredibly disorganized and confusing. When we finally said we wanted to cancel the reservation completely, he told us he couldn’t cancel it — again, offering no real explanation or help. We were left feeling like this entire experience was unprofessional, misleading, and honestly, a bit of a scam. We never even checked in because we no longer trusted the business or felt safe staying there. I don’t write negative reviews often, but travelers deserve transparency — and this was the exact opposite.

This place is better than what I expected. Newley renovated. Amenities are plush, no carpets (no smell). Located down the road from a nice beach (can get crowded). The only problem is the mini fridge is a very-mini fridge. Can only hold 4 bottles of juice/water. I would definitely come back here. Especially since it is centrally located to many things.

We really wanted to love this place, but unfortunately had a terrible experience. First of all, it didn't list anywhere on the website that their lobby closed at 8:00pm, which seems bizarre for a Saturday in the middle of the summer, in a popular area. So at 7:55 we received a text stating the lobby was closing at 8:00 and our keys were in the mailbox. I was super uncomfortable with this, as anyone had access to the mailbox and our room # was written right on the envelope. But luckily we arrived just 10-15 minutes later. Upon arriving to our room, as soon as I moved a throw pillow from the bed, a big flew out and landed on the blanket. Just seconds later my mother noticed another bug on the bed frame of her bed. We called the main fence number and minutes later he arrived, and showed us to a different room. Before putting our stuff down, we checked out this new rom to ensure there were no bugs but sure enough- 3 dead bugs... one on the bed frame and 2 on the ground. The workers response: "the vacuum can't reach the entire area around the bed." We then called for a manager and reported to the lobby, where we expected a refund. We then spent 1.5 hours in the lobby waiting for ANYTHING to happen. The manager on the phone said she had left for the night and was not returning and the other manager was "off site". The two main maintenance men trying to "help" (very rudely!) attempted a refund, but ended up refunding me only 1 cent instead of the over $1000 I had already paid. We called corporate the next day and dealt with them for over an hour. Luckily the corporate manager Chris was very helpful, and did give us a voucher and a refund. However the refund was via a mailed check, so I had to wait almost 10 days to receive it. Overall, it was an awful experience. This place could be great... awesome location, rooms looked nice, etc. but they have a lot of work to do as a business.

Affordable . Clean . Newly remodeled. Only real gripe is two days before our arrival we were informed the pool would be closed . Bummer ! But they credited us 20% of what we paid . Bed was comfortable and cozy . Shampoo , hair dryer , microwave included in room . Wish there had been a fridge . Shampoo, conditioner , body wash and lotion in room . Complimentary coffee in the morning in the lobby. Short walk to Parker River Beach . Short walk to Skippers restaurant and ice cream . Close to many shops and entertainment . Located on a cozy quintessential cape cod back street.

Placed reservation, had to cancel 24 hours before because of covid, then had to cancel. All interactions top notch. Will definitely stay there in future.

Stayed here for one day with my family to celebrate my birthday and this was a very good place to stay one minute walk to the public beach staff was very kind Stayed here for one day with my family to celebrate my birthday and this was a very good place to stay one minute walk to the public beach staff was very kind

This was our first time staying in cape cod and i know we will be returning to the windjammer! I love that its family owned! Our check in was smooth and friendly. Our room had a king bed. We had extra pillows and blankets. Our room was on the first floor. It wasn't noisy at all. You can walk less than 5 minutes to the beach. The hotel pool is wonderful. It has 2 gas grills with tools so you can grill up dinner. We checked out at 11 but they let us stay at the pool till whenever and keep our car parked there when we went to the beach! Bravo Windjammer!!! We will see you soon!

On the plus side, the Windjammer is clean, accommodating and the people are very nice. They will go out of their way to assist you or get you things like extra towels. The place is fairly quiet and the pool is surrounded by the rooms so there is no public view of you while you swim. The pool water was immaculate and you could swim from 7AM until dark. The public beach is a very short walk across the street and that too is clean. On the down side, the hotel is old and is in need of some updating. The WiFi (at this time) is very bad and that is in the lobby. It is non-existent beyond the front of the building and that means most of the rooms have no WiFi access. Add to this the cell phone coverage is positively horrible in this area (not the Windjammer's fault) and I mean ALL the major providers have little to no coverage here. The rooms are outdated but as I said earlier very clean. If you want to watch TV, prepare yourself..... 20" old style, no flat screen. One very big problem is that smoking is allowed anywhere. We had smokers next door on the last day and due to my health, that is a problem. My stay was not too bad but I had to deal with the terrible WiFi as I am on call 24 hours a day for remote computer work. I was able to do my tasks but it was difficult. Finally, the Windjammer is best described as an old fashioned Cape Cod retreat. No phone, no Internet, just relax. I can only give this a 3 star rating because the WiFi will be a definite turn off to younger people. But if you can deal without WiFi and you don't mind the "old charm", pay a visit to the Windjammer.

Very reasonable rates and walking distance from the beach. But although you can walk to the beach you CANNOT hear the surf from your room. Family owned and operated...nice folks However the rooms are dated and worn. If you plan on spending most of your time out and about and you are just looking for a place to sleep the Windjammer will do just fine.

This was my first time at the Windjammer, and I will definitely be back. The rates were great, the rooms are clean and comfortable, and the staff is incredibly accommodating, sweet, and helpful. The beach is across the street and a very short walk, and the pool at the motel is very big and clean. There's a great restaurant just next door, with beautiful views and delicious food. They allow you to check in before the room is ready, and you can leave your car in the lot and use the pool or head over to the beach.

My husband and I have been staying at the Windjammer once or twice a year since 2009. Family owned and operated. Staff is excellent, very nice and very accommodating. Willing to offer recommendation on where (and where not!) to go. The rooms are outdated but they are very clean and comfortable. There's a large pool with plenty of chairs and the beach is right across the street. We've always got a great rate there including over a holiday weekend. We are looking forward to seeing them for Memorial Day weekend!

Very Clean, a bit dated but doesn't matter because you are never in your room. Across the street from the beach. Family owned and operated and you can tell. The staff helps you with everything from where to go ( where not to go) . Where to visit and how to get there. The pool is crystal clear and pretty big for today's standards. Best bang for your buck on the Cape. We had a wonderful time on our vacation. Love Cape Cod and the Windjammer.
