chris (the owner) was amazing and hospitable. the rooms were clean, beds were comfy, and we loved the nautical theme. the breakfast wasn’t anything fancy (bagels, yogurt, coffee, breakfast bars, mini pastries), but definitely hit the spot. 10/10 would recommend.
The Escape Inn was immaculate, quiet, comfortable and nicely appointed. Easy self check-in/check-out. Close to good restaurants that are open off-season. On a main road but set back and private. Excellent value.
The hotel was clean and bright. The breakfast was quite good, better than you get at the chain hotels that include continental breakfasts.

The room was clean, comfy and cozy.
The breakfast area was a cozy place to start the day. An array of choices. And, Chris the owner, was very friendly and attentive to everyone. We will definitely return.
The property was clean. I felt safe, especially because I was traveling alone. I didn't try the breakfast because of my schedule and other things I wanted to do. I would stay here again.
We really enjoyed our 4-night stay at the Escape Inn. Our room was spacious, well-appointed, quiet and very clean. We could request that it be 'refreshed' as frequently as we wanted. The Inn's central location on the Cape made it an ideal base for exploring the area. Breakfast was varied and ample.
A single night stay on a rainy October day. Room was bright, clean, and roomy. Attendant at the front desk was super helpful, pointing me to a great sushi restaurant.
Comfortable bed, clean bathroom & shower. A very nice establishment.
Stayed for 3 nights- very clean, easy check-in and check-out, affordable, great central location to explore the Cape. The bed was a bit mushy and my room directly under the stairs was a bit loud. But would definitely stay again- much prefer supporting small local businesses than corporate chains when possible.
My husband and I stayed here for 2 nights. We loved the contactless check in and outs our room was exceptionally clean. The free breakfast was perfect for us with options and coffee!
