Cute hotel in an easy to travel from location. Rooms were decorated tastefully (and wood floors which is always a plus in my opinion!) and plenty of parking. Grounds were well maintained. Outdoor gazebo and nice pool with plenty of seating.

Older property with a typical Cape Cod feel. Not fancy or upscale but had all the basic amenities. Contactless checkin. No paperwork. Just a text before we arrived as to room number and door lock combination. Limited lobby hours 7:30am-10:00am. Very pleasant staff. No complaints.

We stayed for one night at the Escape Inn and thought it was great. Check in was easy, the room was very clean and the bed was comfortable. The property was quiet and pretty. Parking was free and easy and we enjoyed a swim in the pool. We did not partake in the free breakfast so I can't comment on that but all in all we enjoyed our stay and would come again!

A delightful, clean, pleasant place. None of the usual bells and whistles that mega chain motels burden you with. Just clean, modern, nicely decorated room with all the essential features. Really a fantastic throwback to the early days of mom and pop facilities before corporations overwhelmed tourism. Loved the place. PS. only a one minute walk to one of the best ice cream places on the Cape--Cad Cod Creamery.
