The room was spacious and decorated with a wonderful beach theme. Actual glass to drink from instead of plastic cups! Thankful for decaf coffee choice. Comfy beds. The only negative thing was the bath water was not very hot.

Super charming little seaside spot. Quaint & clean room, charming decor, small but all we needed. Comfy bed. Could be quite fine for two for several days. If one were exploring the cape for a few days it’d be a great home base. Easy check in, we were texted the code for our external entry door. Management went above & beyond - we left a Kindle behind & they mailed it to our home on their dime. Next to cleanliness, that level of customer service is just so important to visitors and we truly appreciated it. Highly recommend this lodging location & would absolutely stay again. Thank you!

The owners were welcoming, friendly and attentive. The property was very clean inside the rooms, the linens and the grounds. I wish the breakfast had more choices of cereals, teas, breads and fruit. The room was small with a low ceiling. However, I was delighted to see the television was 48" with plenty of streaming channels. It's called the Escape Inn, but it's really a motel, not an inn.

This is an older motel style inn but very quaint and updated/maintained. Breakfast was sufficient, everything clean and bed comfortable. Pillows were a little hard. Floors were hard wood and room spacious

Nice stay. Clean, comfortable and quiet room. Nice pool. Ice cream shop next door . On main street, but had a room a little further back which limited the noise. Only complaint was that there were 2 of us in the room and only 1 Regular Keurig coffee cup. Thought I would go to the lobby to ask for another but no one was on the property.. Lobby hours 7:30 am till 10 am. Left early so did not partake in the breakfast, just wanted 2 cups of coffee...

We were disappointed overall. The bed in our room was awful and we were not able to sleep throughout the nights. They use YouTube TV and ours did not work throughout the first night say too many users were using the license. The room was small and did not have enough electrical outlets. The bathroom had nowhere to put stuff again small. The breakfast was not worth going to. On the positive side area was quiet, unit was clean and the owner Chris seemed nice. It was a 2 day getaway for my wife and I without family, grandkids etc. and although days were good nights were just not because of the bed. I guess this was just not our cup of tea.

Great escape to the Escape Inn

So glad I decided to book here. Cute inn, close to everything. Bed was very comfortable. I initially booked 2 nights but slept so well the first night we added another day to our trip. So glad there was a room available for us to extend our trip. Owner was pleasant and accommodating. Rooms are a good size, nicely decorated. Bathrooms are a little on small side but shower had nice strong water pressure. Even though its on the main road it's very quiet at night. Pool is very clean with plenty of seating with nicely kept flower beds. Price was good for summer on Cape Cod. Will definitely be back again and again.
