My stay at Sands of Time was truly wonderful. The views from our room were stunning, overlooking the harbor and allowing us to catch the ferry activity. The hospitality we received from the staff was exceptional, making us feel at home right away. The only drawback was the lack of daily maid service due to Covid, but they were quick to bring us extra towels. Overall, the experience was delightful and we would gladly return.

I had a fantastic stay at Sands of Time, with a stunning view of the harbor that made my mornings so much brighter. The location was unbeatable, being just a short walk from the ferry and town. The rooms were spacious and clean, which made for a comfortable experience overall. While I would have loved more dining options on-site, the nearby bakery provided some of the best breakfast I've ever had. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway!

I had a fantastic stay at the Sands of Time, just a stroll away from the vibrant town of Woods Hole. The view of Vineyard Sound from my room was breathtaking, and the staff went above and beyond to ensure my comfort. While the rooms were clean and spacious, they did feel a bit dated. Plus, the dining options were somewhat limited. Overall, it was a great getaway with a private pool to relax in!

I had a wonderful experience at the Sands of Time Motor Inn & Harbor House. The location is perfect, just a quick walk to the ferry and near great dining options. The rooms were clean and comfortable with an amazing view of the harbor. However, the Wi-Fi connectivity was initially spotty during my stay but improved significantly after a scheduled upgrade. Overall, it's a quaint place that I would highly recommend for a visit to Cape Cod.

Our stay at the Sands of Time Motor Inn & Harbor House was absolutely delightful! The views of Woods Hole Harbor from our room were stunning, and the cozy atmosphere really made us feel at home. The staff, especially Becky, was incredibly accommodating and friendly, which added to the charm. While the room had a vintage look and could use some updating, it was clean and comfortable. Additionally, the pool area was a perfect spot to relax, albeit a bit basic in decor. Overall, it was a very enjoyable experience, and we can't wait to return!
