In need of a weekend place to stay on the Cape during April, we were recommended The Cove Motel by some local friends. Having stayed previously at more expensive, and not particularly extraordinary, accommodation in Orleans, we were pleasantly surprised to discover this clean, accessible and very reasonably priced motel. The place even met the approval of my thrifty Yankee... More

This visit started with a negative. The check-in was unpleasant. Rather than a "welcome", it was"sign this and make sure you read it!". A most unpleasant woman. The room was very clean. Excellent housekeeping service. Water view. Our room was on the first floor and footsteps from upstairs were constant.

We have been returning to the Cove for weekends for approximately 10 years, which speaks for itself. The Cove is in a beautiful setting, right on the Town Cove, close to family restaurants, and across the street from the Christmas Tree Shop! The rooms are uniquely decorated with paintings from a local artist, so it's almost like visiting family rather... More

Stayed at the Cove for about 7 days with my sister mid September. We had a great time and found the Cove to be the ideal location for exploring the Cape. It was quiet and has all the basics that one would need for a relaxing time. Our room was large and clean. It is not chic and modern but... More

Stayed here on an impromptu trip, called from the road and got a nice small waterfront room at a good price for the Cape, even in the late season. Room was comfortable, in a small annex that has a large shared porch. It sits overlooking a pleasant cove, and a gazebo that, during the summer, looks like a great place... More

Third stay in about ten years, and this was the most disappointing visit. The carpets have not been cleaned in years, and it shows. When I opened the fridge door, there was solid rust along the bottom edge not to mention the wood shims shoved underneath the edge to keep it level. The bathroom showed the most neglect, with such...

This was the perfect hotel for our needs. It was clean, the staff friendly, it had a nice view of the water. I enjoyed sitting outside and reading for an hour or so one afternoon. It was convenient to the Cape Cod Rail trail and several little restaurants.

We stayed at The Cove with our two young children and it was perfect. Clean rooms, you can borrow DVDs to watch, incredible selection of tv channels and the BEST view of the bay.
