Cape Cod Motels Directory

Cape Cod Motels have historically played an important role in the development of the tourist industry here mostly because that development has coincided almost directly with the evolution of the automobile.

The first motel opened in Hyannis in 1939, and Route 28 between Hyannis and Chatham remains the area of the Cape with the most motels per square mile.

Motels tend to offer fewer amenities than hotels, with rooms that open to the outside, rather than an interior corridor. But even though they're built with the motorist in mind, many Cape Cod motels are surprisingly quaint, particularly along Route 6a.

They're often less expensive than hotels, too, so they're great for couples who are visiting the Cape on a tight budget or for couples who are happy just to have a place to crash at the end of a busy day at the beach or seeing the sights.

While motels seldom offer any kind of restaurant, and room service is a hit or miss option, this is seldom a problem when there are so many Cape Cod restaurants to eat at. And if all you're looking for is a place to crash after a day at the beach or sightseeing, a Cape Cod motel could be a perfect option.

Our directory of motels on Cape Cod includes basic information, a brief description, a photo where possible, and a link to the property's website. On each motel's page, there is an invitation for visitors who have stayed there to review their stay and grade their visit out of five.
