Great for families and kids
Great location for kids and families. We walked to play mini golf and breakfast. The Cape Cod Inflatable Park and Wicked Waves Water Park are both a short drive away. We also biked the Cape Cod rail trail nearby. A great family getaway.

Haunted by Chlorine and Damp Sheets
Room smelled like a public pool, sheets were damp, and cleanliness took a vacation. Wouldn’t recommend unless you're into haunted laundromats.

Needed a little updating (painting, minor repairs). Was a little bit damp but easily fixed with a dehumidifier. Beds, internet and location were all positive. The staff and their customer service skills were impeccable. Would most definitely stay again.

This is on the higher end of motels, and clean enough. I do wish they would clean the one or two dead small gnats on walls.
The pools (indoor and outdoor) go down 9 feet which I appreciate but it was difficult for me to lap swim because there are ropes that divide the pool. The hot tub is amazing though and felt so good after the Cape Cad Rail Trail bike ride.
The service was a little nonchalant, but nothing egregious.

The bed was decently comfortable and the backyard was cute and nice to relax in. Though the bathroom was tight and small if anyone was wondering, clean and good though.

The bathroom has a small window with no shade or curtain - awkward to use it at night especially. The main bedroom has a window with a curtain but it is practically sheer. There is a refrigerator in the room and a microwave in the common area, indoor and outdoor pools. The bed was comfortable but noticed a small stain on the sheets. The condition of things is mostly good but certain things look a little worn down.
