For the xost to stay at the Mariner it is very good. The hotel is nothing exceptional, but decent. It is clean and the service was fine. We went during April vacation and they had lots of activities for kids to do, but it did not interrupt if you did not have children with you. The rates at this hotel were 1/3 of the rates at some hotels right down the stret that are a little nicer, but not much. If you want to save money, then go to the Mariner. There is an indoor and outdoor pool, and charcoal pits if you want to cook your own dinner, which is pretty neat. Each room has its own mini-fridge too which is a nice accessory to have.

For what we paid for an off-season rate at the Cape, this hotel was well worth it. The room was spacious and clean. All the rooms have indoor corridors that lead to the hot tub and pool area. The hot tub and indoor pool are open until midnight and it's adults only from 10:00 PM on. Big plus there!
It's centrally located on the Cape and it has Molly's next door. Not the most upscale pub I have been to but it's a cool sports bar to grab a couple of drinks.
Overall, I would stay here again. It's technically a motor lodge, and for that I would give 3.5 stars out of 5. Compared to actual hotels, 2-2.5 stars.

We were there last week (first full week in October). We were with a bus group and stayed four nights. The biggest complaints from everyone is hard beds and flat pillows. Also, since a lot of the people were seniors (I'm not but some people have a hard time walking), they had a hard time going upstairs. There isn't a elevator. The employees did help carry suitcases upstairs. I didn't use the indoor pool (seemed a little cold for me) or the hot tub. The people were friendly. I asked to use a computer and they gave me the key to their break room. One of the people in our group pulled their sheets back and found hair under the sheets. The lot is nice to walk around. They gave our group a continental breakfast. Nothing fancy but if you want something to eat, they had fruit, cereal and pastries. I would have liked to walk to the beach but we were only there at night so I didn't get to see how far it was.

I think that is all I can think of.

I chose this hotel for the rate and the reviews on tripadvisor. The hotel was clean and neat. It is not very modern, but it is very well kept. It was a very comfortable environment. It is a typical Cape Cod style hotel. The staff were friendly and the hotel offered plenty of local information. You were even able to BBQ if you wanted and they supplied the tools. You just bring food and charcoal. The hotel also offered free miniature golf and they had a small play area for kids. The location was great to all. The beaches were not too far away. We enjoyed the pool especially the indoor one. The only thing I would like to see is a coffee maker in the room and alittle less over kill on the air freshener. The refrigerator was a plus. The hotel was a great place for my family. They offered breakfast . We would return.
