Sands of Time Motor Inn

A lovely spot and very good location. An easy walk to town. Beautiful view and a very nice pool. No fridge in room and breakfast could be more healthy. Fruit instead of donut holes. Would highly recommend this hotel. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

Absolutely loved this hotel they have a friendly helpful staff clean well kept rooms beutiful harbor view and very convenient to get to the ferry actually the town and ferry is walking distance from hotel they have a pool but it was not open when we went we would recommend this nice hotel

I would not recommend this place. I realize it’s an old place, but when you are paying $ 249. a night for a room and there is only a tin shower stall, and the bathroom is so tiny there’s no room to put your things, the direct TV is so far across the room you need a Telescope to view it and it has to be reset constantly if you hit the wrong button, the electrical outlets are controlled by the light switch on the wall so that if you turn off the switch they stop working (unbeknowst to you), and there is no coffee machine in the room, well… need I say more. Go somewhere else for this kind of money.

We walked in to sands of time hoping for a last minute room we got that plus a whole lot more! Don — at reception — was so accommodating and helpful! When my husband decided to drive down and join us Don rolled in a roll away bed at no extra cost. In the morning when we all slept until 10am, I requested a late checkout and was provided one with no bother. The experience overall was so relaxing and quaint we are already planning a return in August! And the free beach access to Nobska and sparkling clean pool didn’t hurt either!

Terrible experience checking into this motel. I was quoted a discounted price of $ 189 per night when I called to reserve a room. When we arrived, the clerk insisted that there was no way I would have been quoted that rate and insisted on charging me $ 209. When I pushed the issue, her reply was that she could refund my money and we could go find another place to stay — at 11:30pm in an area with no other hotels nearby, when we already told her we didn’t have a car. The price difference wasn’t huge, but this felt like blackmail. Also, in what scenario does essentially calling your customer a liar seem like a good business decision? Stay anywhere else but here.

What a nice place to stay. Beautiful view. Nice grounds. Clean pool. Short walk to town. Rooms are a bit dated, however this is Cape Cod. The staff is very friendly. Good value for the money.

Yes, the décor is a bit dated… but I had a great experience at this inn. I stayed here for one night between a weekend in Martha’s Vineyard and my flight out of Boston. The view of the water from my room (see pictures above) was absolutely breathtaking! My room had a nice balcony where I could sit and watch the boats on the harbor. At night I could hear the sound of the ocean.
The room itself was clean. The bed was comfortable, the TV nice, and FREE wifi. The lobby has fresh donut holes and coffee every morning (what’s not to like?).
A tip: When I called to book my reservation the rate they gave me over the phone was $ 20 more than the one I saw online given the season. When I told the clerk what the rate was online he gave me the room for that amount. Sounds simple, but normally there is some excuse as to why they want to charge you a higher rate. I was impressed :)

Country look, i.e. enough flower motif to last the lifetimes of a thousand suburban white mothers and grandmothers, but equal amounts of service and friendliness. The views from the house are good to marinate and soak in. Granted, there aren’t many choices in the area in terms of accommodation, but even if there were, I’d frequent the Sands of Time by choice.

While the staff is nice and the location is prime, this hotel is in desperate need of a renovation. This is particularly true of the back house, where my friend was staying. It smelled strongly of mildew and was even more careworn than the front lodge. The pool was clean and I’d stay here again if I had to, but I really hope they renovate this place because it’s a great spot!

The place to stay in Woods Hole! A spectacular view out over Vineyard Sound and the Hole and easy walking distance to everything. The staff is wonderfully friendly, knowlegeable about everything, and can steer you to the best beaches. We stay here every time we visit.

With clean spartan rooms and a helpful friendly staff this motel close
to downtown Wood’s hole is a great place to stay if you want to walk
into town. The only downside is that the rooms, while they have a
great view of the bay, also overlook the main road and are quite
noisy. If it were not for the noise this would be a solid 4 stars.
