Endless Dunes, A Modern Motel

10/10 Excellent

"The stars on this property are too low! Great updated clean room. Nicest room in the area! Staff is amazing. Free use of their bikes too!"

Rodeway Inn Orleans - Cape Cod

10/10 Excellent

"Clean rooms and nice maintained grounds will definitely be coming back"

Eagle Wing Inn - Cape Cod

10/10 Excellent

"Best hotel on the cape! Extremely clean, everything is updated. Very comfortable bed"

Olde Tavern Motel And Inn

8/10 Good

"We have stayed there 5 or 6 times in the past. The first time we stayed there under the new ownership it was during that COVID MASK baloney, but it was noticeable how much effort they were putting into the place to make updates and new furniture, etc and how clean it was. We stayed in room 105 and noticed the tub/shower was needing a repair because in was like walking on a waterbed and very dangerous to keep your balance in it. Other than that it's a good place to stay."
