The room was soooo clean, large and spacious. Christopher is so nice and helpful. The pool was so clean. We can't wait to go back and stay their again. Highly comfortable and recommend! We booked directly with the owner.

An exceptional experience all around; we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Escape Inn. The room was as clean as advertised and the bed was very comfortable. Even more the host/owner, Chris, was exceptionally friendly and helpful. We were scheduled to stay two nights but, due to a phone number mix up and late arrival, didn't stay the first night. While Chris was perfectly in his right to keep the money for both nights, he worked to get us a refund for the first night - a truly customer-focused effort. I wish we could have taken advantage of the pool, which looked immaculately maintained, but the weather wouldn't support that. The location right on Rte 28 makes it a convenient place to stay.

Feels like home. Husband and wife owned and operated, and it makes all the difference. The rooms were clean and tidy, the pool area was beautiful and well maintained. Breakfast was great, and we wanted for nothing. Check in and check out was seamless. The whole property is taken care of from the flowers blooming in the walkways to the parking lot being swept throughout the day. It’s not often these days to stay at a hotel/motel and you feel like you’re staying with family. Highly recommend this as a must stay if you’re in the area for work, play or just to get away for a few days.

Spent a couple nights here for a friend’s wedding in West Dennis. This place was great! Contactless check-in and check-out was a breeze. The rooms were spacious, clean, and updated. The rates were VERY affordable, especially compared to nearby comparable places. The service was great. Light breakfast was generous. Couldn’t ask for a better spot to spend a few nights!

Such a perfect place to stay on the Cape! It was everything we needed and we could not be happier choosing this hotel. The property was adorable and very well kept. The room was spotless, charming, and had great amenities. We enjoyed a comfy, cozy, and quiet night's stay here. The free breakfast was a plus too! Highly recommend and will definitely be coming back in the future.

From the moment I called the establishment , I was blown away by the warmth the owner gave off when he picked up the phone. They worked to all of my needs. The check-in process was seamless, and the owner went out of their way to make me feel welcomed when I arrived on the property. The room was immaculate—spacious, beautifully decorated, and equipped with everything I needed. The bed was incredibly comfortable, the linens were high quality, and housekeeping was offered. If you’re looking for a cute , stress-free getaway where everything is simple this is your place! The Escape Inn is amazing. The prices are also insanely reasonable! Best escape ever!!!! Will be returning and making this place a regular stay ASAP <3
