I beg to differ with the people who have written negative reviews of the Cape Ann Motor Inn. No, it is not the Hilton with all the fancy furnishings, but it is clean and Brad Pierce, the owner, and his staff, especially Margaret, our housekeeper are wonderful friendly people. We have been going to CAMI for 12 years with our 3 children and our neigbors. We just came back from our annual getaway and had a great time. What you pay for is for the view and the convenience of being directly on the beach. You can't get any closer to the water than this place. How can you not enjoy yourself when you can either sit on the beach or on the deck relaxing with a good book, searching for starfish or crabs, making sandcastles or riding the big waves with your kids? There were 20 surfers in the water the first day we were there! You can take a ride to the local store(4 minutes) and bring back everything you need for a clambake on the beach - or if you don't want to drive, there is a great pizza place that delivers - delivery charge is $1.00!!! After dinner you can take a walk to the corner ice cream store. Every night you go to sleep with the slider open listening to the waves crashing on the beach. In the morning you awake to a beautiful sunrise over Thatcher Island and the sound of seagulls. Every morning around 7:30 freshly made donuts and muffins are delivered by a local bakery. There is always orange juice and fresh coffee and even a bird named "Bert" to greet you. My children and I were in the water within 20 feet of a seal who was just hanging out offshore. To see the look on their faces to be that close to a seal, or to show off how many crabs and starfish they have caught --- it's priceless. While I wish the charge for the kids, anyone over 5 is $15.00 was raised to perhaps anyone over 12, we feel that we love CAMI so much that we are willing to pay the extra money to make memories that will last a lifetime. Thanks Brad for making these memories happen!

We stayed at the Cape Ann Motor Inn over July 4th weekend and had a blast. The staff was kind and courteous and our room was clean and ready upon our arrival. With breathtaking views and reasonable rates I would recommend checking in as soon as possible!

My husband and I stayed at the Cape Ann a couple of years ago and although the room wasn't 4 Stars . the view and the sound of the ocean so close was spectacular. It was one of the most peaceful and restful vacations we have ever had.. As I told my friends and co-workers when asked about our vacation .. the room may have been $100 but the view was worth a million ! We would go back in a heartbeat... ken and fran wharton

We had a wonderful summer vacation staying at the Cape Ann Motor Inn. People were extremely nice, service was great, breathtaking view, and we were right on the beach. We could even bring our family dog!! :) We have already booked our reservations for next year. I would highly reccomend this hotel for anyone looking for a great place to stay on the beaches of Cape Ann!
