Nice little motel, family operated, clean comfy room, large comfy beds, swimming pool outside was clean, never crowded. Great little sandy beach with free parking about a mile down the side road. Two awesome mini-golfs nearby. Loved it! Considering it's Cape Cod and low priced we were very happy here, family of four visiting from Norway. Don't listen to the picky negative people reviews.

Great place to stay I have stayed here a few times and everytime the rooms smell clean when you walk in it’s not run down and beat up and they do have a grill out back if you want to make some food

This is a simple, no-frills motel that offers excellent value for the price. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. My room was well-maintained, and the housekeeping was always done very accurately. A great budget-friendly choice for a stay in the area.

Very clean, very quiet (my kids are the loud ones), great location. The staff is very kind and courteous, the grounds are maintained well, the pool is kept up daily. 5 days into our stay and we are loving it! Windows that open are a huge plus for the beautiful weather that we don’t get back home in Florida this time of year. Highly reccomend!!

Great value for the price. Quiet, clean, spacious room with notably good amenities. There was a well-stocked coffee station as well as microwave in our room.

I needed an inexpensive room for the night and this was the cheapest place I could find. That being said, I was more than satisfied. The room was large, updated, and looked nothing like the Pic on the booking site. They should update their pics!!! My room was immaculate. The shower was hot and water pressure great. It had the apt size fridge , a microwave, and a keurig. The pool, although not open was sparkling clear. . It is the off season, but was a weekend and found parking to be ample and the grounds clean and quiet. Would absolutely recommend.

We had booked this at the last minute since my family and I were tired but it was still so above our expectations. I cannot overstate that I swear this was the cleanest room I have stayed at IN A LONG TIME. Management was very nice and even brought us a crib for our baby.

We stayed at the Cape Shore Inn back in July and it was a solid place. The woman helping us check-in was very friendly and made sure we were enjoying ourselves throughout our stay. The location was great and we will use this place next summer when we come to the Cape.
