We have stayed at the Town Crier twice and are considering another visit this summer. The rates are very good compared to others in the area and the rooms are satisfactory.
Again, the rooms are simple and basic and fairly clean. The location is good, area restaurants are great, much better than what's available up in P'town. We did not use the pool; we did get the breakfast once; the food was good for the price, but the service was lacking. I was surprised the coffee and tea were not included in the price.
My main complaint is about the owners. They park their big SUV in front of the door all the time, so it is difficult to access the office which, most of the time is empty. The man who seems to own the place is surly and unfriendly. I went to the desk to ask a question about the movie theater and he was not the least bit interested in helping me.
I realize that times are tough and getting worse, so everyone wants to get the best value for their shrinking dollar. I am sure it is stressful running a business. But all of these Cape motels are competing for a limited amount of customers; many families are deciding not to travel this year because of gas prices and fear about the economy. I really expected businesses to be more considerate of their customers to keep them coming back. The reason I am planning to return to the Town Crier is that it is a known quantity, a good value, and acceptable.

My husband and I have been staying at this motel for a number of years. Whenever we go to the Cape, this is the place of choice for us. We have never had any problems with the staff, cleanliness of the room, bathroom or any other problems.

We had an air conditioner "quit" on us on the Fourth of July (extremely hot) one year and spoke with the front desk and within one hour a new one was up and running in our room.

We have found the staff to be friendly and eager to make our stay comfortable. They come into the room daily to vacuum, clean the bathroom and make the beds.

If you want a family friendly place to stay, I would recommend and have recommended the Town Crier to any number of people.

I loved staying there. I got great service and the rooms were very clean. I would have friends and family come down here. There are a lot of things to do down here.

Cute place with nice clean rooms. Very pleasant staff. Great location.
