“Perfect place to stay on the Cape”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 12, 2013

I think we found a hidden gem when we stayed at the Escape Inn. The owners, Mike & Holly, couldn't have been more gracious or helpful - from providing extra beach towels for us, providing us with an umbrella in the rain or giving us tips on which beaches the locals go to (which, BTW provided us with one of our best beach days EVER) - they were fabulous. Breakfast each day was very basic and healthy - perfect start to our day. Our room on the 2nd floor was immaculate - it epitomized everything you think a "Cape Cod" room should be - crisp white linens, clean lines, cheery, light walls, comfortable bed. The portable A/C in our room kept it very comfortable in the Aug heat. The location is perfect - right in the middle of everything on the Cape. We were able to do day trips in both directions. The value was unbeatable. We will absolutely stay here again on our next trip to the Cape and would recommend it to anyone! I do think this B&B - at least the room we stayed in - is probably more suitable for couples or a friends getaway than for families with kids.

“Just okay”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed December 14, 2012

Booked this room based on price & TripAdvisor reviews. However we were surprised & disappointed when we saw the room. Small simple room, so simple in fact that there was no where to sit except the bed. We had done a lot of driving so we just had snacks for dinner when we got there. No place to sit our soda cans & food. Nice wood floors but VERY noisy if someone is in the room above yours. Breakfast had only a couple choices & extra small amount of food. I'm sure the owners were lovely people, but they appeared quite busy when we were there, so very little interaction with them. The biggest plus....the bed....it was comfortable & CLEAN.

Room Tip: 2nd level may be much more quiet. Don't expect to do anything in your room except sleep. May w...

“Fresh, simple elegance, geared to guest needs, location perfect for all directions from south shore.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 21, 2012 via mobile

We stayed three separate times caring for an elderly relative nearby. Hosts made our stay much easier during a difficult time. Breakfast was easy and varied a little each day. Accommodations were just like the online pictures , we stayed in three different rooms. Clean as a whistle and white comfy bed linens. The only recommendation I have would be to put an Adirondack chair in each room for tv watching when you don't want to watch from bed.
Definitely the best buy motel on the Cape!

“Lovely little place!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 15, 2012

This is my husband's and my first visit to Cape Cod. I read overwhelming positive reviews from TripAdvisor members about this place and was excited to see what the buzz was all about. The Escape Inn exceeded my expectations. Holly gave great recommendations on things to do when I made my reservation. Mike gave great tips on where to dine when I checked into the hotel. The room is so cute and more importantly very clean. Check out this place the next time you are in town. You will not be disappointed!

“Great beach getaway ... just off the beach!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 11, 2012

Great experience, Mike and Holly have created a little home away from home on the Cape. They offer friendly, personal service and a great beachside ambience. All for a great value. We would definitely recommend to friends and family for a quiet romantic getaway and we will be back.
