Being newer to New England, I always hunt for renovated and modern stays. Bluebird Parker delivers with clean and comfortable rooms. Staff was friendly and property was quiet. Beaches across the street are convenient with warmer waters of the Nantucket Sound. I suggest walking up the coast for a nice spot without seaweed depending on time of year. Its a nice walk regardless. Seafood restaurant next door was nice to get takeout for beach picnic across the street. Location is convenient to mid cape attractions. Only nit is the coffee bar was pretty basic (eg tasted like Boston beans with limited non dairy creamer). And yes, fridge is small but I read that on other reviews so didnt have missed expectations.

We recently stayed at Bluebird for a few days. The location is amazing, just a short walk to a public beach. The pool is a good size and beautiful. The rooms are beautifully decorated but a tight fit for a family of 4. The bed frame was an issue for us as we kept hitting our legs on it. The chandelier light between the beds is too low and we kept bumping into it. The fridge is extra tiny and doesn't fit much. Also a huge problem was the bathroom windows. Although they are frosted you can see right through them. We were putting our boys into their car seats and facing the lodge and they got an eye full of a guest drying off after her shower. I'd recommend staying here as a couple but not with little ones. And please cover your bathroom window with a towel.

Do not let the photos and marketing fool you! This is not a fully-renovated, modern hotel, it is an old, run-down motel with some new paint and superficial furnishings. It is very clear the "remodel" was low-budget. As soon as we checked in we started feeling uncomfortable about the accommodations. At first glance the room looked nice enough, but as we walked through the room some glaring issues became apparent starting with: 1. Doors are not secure. No interior security latch, light weight and old, don't fully seal letting in bugs, noise, and light 2. Bathroom had obvious water damage and black mold (photo included). Room #123 3. Vinyl flooring was dirty and sinking in many places As we tried to settle in further other issues related to comfort and function hampered our interest in staying (many of which mentioned in other reviews): 1. Mini fridge is MINI - literally room for two cans, its almost unbelievable 2. No where to sit or place belongings. Beds serve as the ONLY seating (which is unpleasant, especially in a sandy place like the cape). 3. Windows are old with no screens, letting in bugs and noise. 4. Lack of privacy on 1st floor with pool area just feet away. Also lots of noise from 2nd floor. Taking all this in within our first 20min of checking in, we had solidified our decision to shorten our stay. We had planned to stay two nights at Bluebird and truly didn't want to stay any nights after checking in. Unfortunately, with limited alternative options on the Cape, we ended up staying one night - requesting a refund on our second night. The one positive I can say is that Greg, the manager, did accommodate that request with only a little hassle/push back. After visiting our room with us and viewing the mold in the bathroom, he agreed to the refund and moved us to a new room on the 2nd floor that was a *bit* nicer (primarily, no mold). However, we still walked away from that interaction feeling let down by the following: 1. Lack of apologetic approach or reassurance that the first room was not acceptable to their standards. 2. Offered to help us move our luggage to the new room on 2nd floor on the other end of the motel, but disappeared and never followed through Proceed with caution! Safety: Doors to the rooms are not secure, do not have an interior security latch.
