The hotel

Just minutes over the Bourne or Sagamore bridges is the Sea Crest Beach Hotel – an old favourite that has just undergone a multi-million dollar renovation. The same great service is still available and the friendly atmosphere, but there’s plenty that’s even better than before. What will never change is the location – overlooking Old Silver Beach, an endless stretch of golden shoreline that really is nothing short of sublime. What have changed are the guest rooms – all have been sumptuously refurnished in soothing colours to bring you the utmost in comfort. The Ocean View Dining Room more than matches the beauty of its vista and Red’s Restaurant and Lounge, named after previous hotel owner and Celtic’s legend, Red Auerbach, is one of the hip and happening places to spend your evening. Just opened is the Ice-Cream shop – sure to prove popular with just about everyone or head to the pool bar and get the barman to whisk you up a refreshing cocktail. A wonderful place to feel big city stress just melt away, there’s plenty to see and do in the nearby area too. There are various golf courses or make like the locals and explore by bike.

We booked this as a stay that a one night, don’t have to leave the resort. In reality, we weren’t informed that their main amenity being Red’s restaurant and bar were not open due to renovations. We would have totally booked another place had we known this.

The worst experience ever. Booked here and was told upon arrival that the room was not ready yet and they would call when it was ready. They asked us for ID and credit card to expedite the check in process. We never received a call so we went back to the front desk at 4.00pm which is check in time.

The worst experience ever. Booked here and was told upon arrival that the room was not ready yet and they would call when it was ready. They asked us for ID and credit card to expedite the check in process. We never received a call so we went back to the front desk at 4.00pm which is check in time. Only to be told the same story as before the room was not ready but they would call. By 5.15pm no call back to the front desk and we could not be given any estimate as to when it would be ready. This not only happened to us but there was also a Lions Convention being held there and those guests were waiting also. I spoke to a few that were waiting longer than we were. With no real answer we asked to cancel and the front desk person was pretty rude. She went and got her manager who just kept saying sorry but offered no solution other than saying the cleaning crew is still working on the rooms?? At 5.15pm that’s ridiculous. By the time I received my credit back to my credit card all other hotels nearby were already full. Plus we had reservations with friends at a place for dinner since we had no place to go and freshen up so we cancelled with them as well and drove back home. The only thing that I can say that is positive about this place it is right on the beach. That is it..the lack of compassion by the management not only to us but others is totally unacceptable. Also full disclosure we have stayed here a few times without issue in the past and no one seemed to care about us being returning guests. Beware. Before wasting your money. Read less

The hotel was going through renovations and made it tough to enjoy our stay. The room was nicely renovated and spacious for three (we had an ocean front king suite). The bathroom wasn't super clean and smelled of urine upon arrival. Despite being cleaned...there was no scent of cleaning products. We had ants in our room on two different days. The front desk did send someone to spray and clean them. The water in the shower was not hot. Actual coffee mugs would have been a nice touch as Styrofoam cups were provided for coffee. The restaurant was understaffed as servers juggled between serving in house, takeout and bartending. The food and drink was overpriced for the quality. On a good note, there was ample parking and the sunsets were gorgeous. Read less

Check in was at 4. Room was not ready until 7. There was blood on the bed linens when I finally got into the room. No one was apologetic for the three hour delay or the bloody linens.
