| When heading to Hyannis and West Yarmouth
I now know that there are many rooms available in the area. If I head up
on a whim I may not even make a reservation. I don't mind walking in to
see what rate a motel will charge. Frequently a walk in rate is much cheaper
than a reservation a few days earlier. Now I won't try this on a
holiday or mid-summer weekend or when arriving very late during the week.
I'd rather drive up knowing that I have a room and where and a what price.
During the week even in summer I can't see all of them selling out. I'm
willing to roll the dice than lock myself in to a particular property and
rate. |
If you go to look for room on the on-line travel services they don't
list all motels in the Hyannis and West Yarmouth areas. Most properties
don't permit on-line booking. I believe this would require them to set a
few rooms aside for the travels service. This prevents the same room being
sold by two different companies.
To get a good rate I would try a combination of and on-line travel
service, Hyannis and West Yarmouth motel listings, and calling the properties.
I have had one property quote me a rate of $80.00 (summer/weekend) while
another motel charged me $55.00. I don't mind the lower priced motels.
I have only had one bad stay at one motel. I won't go back there. |

Cape Holiday
(formerly Cape Cod Inn,
formerly Country Squire Motor Lodge)
206 Main Street,
Hyannis

During my last visit in 2001 this motel had a completely
renovated lobby. The rest of the property could very well have changed
after that visit.
I stayed at this property the most. I looked for a room here
first
when in Hyannis. While the outside looked beat and worn. The
rooms were always clean and comfortable. I could get very low
rates here during the week. Weekend rates were higher, but for the
most part less than all of the other motels. |

This hotel may very well become my first
choice during my 2002 visits to Cape Cod. The rooms are very clean and
comfortable. Very reasonably priced. A free continental breakfast
is available (Although I usually get a great full breakfast at the "Heavenly
#2 Restaurant" down the road.) Refrigerator in all rooms. Large outdoor
and an indoor pool. |

Sadly this property is in the process of
being demolished. As of 3-18-02 the only section left was the first half
of the main building from the office to the outside stairs. The property
is completely closed. A good inn is no more. |

I recall this was a very nice Inn with clean,
comfortable rooms. The rate, while higher than the lowest motes in the
area, was not too high. The have a 24 hour lobby staff for those who arrive
late at night after work. |

This is a very nice Motor Lodge (Inn) located
on Route 28 in West Yarmouth. The drive, when there is traffic and a red
light or two, is between five to ten minutes to downtown Hyannis.
The room I stayed in was very roomy. It had two double beds. A table with
two chairs. Kept perfectly clean and was very comfortable. Bathroom was
'spic and span'. They have three pools on location, one of which is indoors
with a nice hot tub. Coffee in the lobby. They also have coupons in the
lobby for use at advertising restaurants for a good discount on food. |

The very first Cape Cod hotel I slept in
on my first night in Cape Cod. As I recall it was a nice room. Clean and
comfortable. As this hotel has interior corridors, and my room was on the
third floor, it was a trek from my room to my car. This is only a
minor inconvenience.
An inside and outdoor pool is available.
Very convenient to downtown Hyannis. One block from Main Street. |

Spent one night here prior to flying to
Martha's Vineyard. Nice motel located on Route 132, Iyanough Road. Room
was clean, comfortable and reasonably priced. Motel staff was very nice
and accommodating. Motel is about one mile from downtown Hyannis. |
