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

Great place!
Went with my 10 year old son for an overnight, they had a very well kept outdoor pool he loved, and Netflix, and great coffee the next morning at their continental for me. Very charming! Will plan to come again

Cape Cod in your pocket!
The property is newly renovated. Just like staying in a little cape cod cottage of your own. Clean, comfortable and every little amenity was there. Decorated with perfection. Clean wood floors, bed outfitted with the loveliest linens! Quiet, cozy, friendly. Close to everything and priced just right.Pool area is gorgeous and so clean! A little bit of Cape Cod in your pocket. Staff was friendly and efficient. Easy parking too! Breakfast included and welcoming outdoor areas to enjoy! Loved this place. Will stay again.Exceptional hotel!

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.

This was a lovely little inn and we really enjoyed our stay. One thing I really appreciated was the water filling station - I wish all hotels would follow suit and give guests easy access to drinking water. The Escape Inn sets a great example!

Cute little hotel right on Route 28, but past the very busy section. Clean room and friendly staff. This was our second time staying here and we would definitely return!
