Property is good, it could use some further updating, since some things are newer. The bed was very firm, so that was not to our liking. The price is right, so we would more than likely return.

Needs work
The room has obviously been under renovation and was looking pretty good but the bathroom needs work . Lots of mold on the shower door runners andwalls. The bedroom floor needed to be swept. We picked up pieces of peanuts left by someone else. The floor under the bed was dirty. Check in consisted of charging my credit card and handing me the key! It could be nice but needs work! The grounds are lovely.

This is a 1950-60 ish motel located along a busy secondary road in a remote area. Modern motels have a sort of free breakfast. The Earl had none. The lavatory and bath were installed by someone who didn't know how to adjust them. I had to yank the faucet to get any water. I had to forcibly yank the water control in the shower for my wife because it was so tight.

A charming setting
Our room was large and well appointed. The area was quiet and charming. We would have appreciated having the floors (no carpet) better tended to - swept daily - or have a broom provided so we could do so as needed. otherwise the maid service was very good.

Terrible refund policy
My company invited me and my partner to the Cape for a beach weekend but had to reschedule it due to the weather. This is the only hotel in the area that did not offer a refund with 48 hours notice, so not only did I not get to enjoy the beach weekend, but I wasted a couple hundred bucks on a hotel that I never even checked into

Don't believe the photos.
Such a disappointment. Rooms were moldy, dark, dirty, and dank. The tub was dangerous and slippery and you couldn't take a bath if you wanted to as the drain plug had been pulled out. The property is looking unloved and uncared for. We would not have stayed a second night if it had not already been paid for.

Property manager hardly spoke English. The room didn't have glasses. When asking the manager, he had no idea what I was talking about. Room had no water, no glasses, no iron or ironing board.... basics for a room at $260 per night. Bed was too small (full instead of queen size). Very disappointing

Not again
Driving up to the motel, it looks abandoned - dead vines on the front of the building, it needs to be painted and the roof is in poor condition. Inside the room, the same sort of conditions - furniture worn out and torn, drawers didn't close all the way and had broken knobs, the microwave had the wrong size turntable, the sink faucet was extremely hard to use - obviously poorly repaired. And the cleaning service didn't wipe the sink or clean the floor. The whole place just looked like no one cared about it. We will not stay there again.

The Earl is tired and in need of a complete renovation (bathrooms and furniture all need replacing). However, everything is well-maintained and clean and overall it's a pleasant place to stay and a very good bargain if you've got things to do in Sandwich. I would stay there again.

I can’t even believe that this hotel is offered on Expedia. Unfortunately, once you have booked a hotel room in that area there are not many other options if you want to change your mind and leave. I have several pictures to attach as well. The amount of filth in the bedroom was absolutely appalling
