Confused with accomodations-need help please

We will fly into Providence R.I. on July 4th and we are renting a car for traveling to Cape Cod. We want to explore the Cape from Woods Hole to the National Seashore. We also will take the ferry to Nantucket and Martha%26#39;s Vineyard. At first I thought we needed to stay in Hyannis, but I was worried about some of the reviews,ratings and pictures of hotels. We want a very clean room with a pool and refrigerator for $300 or less. Hyannis was the only town I had heard of, so I thought that was the place to stay. We love water views and the beach, but can live without it since we have a car and could drive to it. We like to walk, so long distances won%26#39;t bother us. Is it best to suck it up and deal with dated places with a central location or will other towns be fine since we have the car? Hotel suggestions, please. We will be there until July 10th and then leave for Boston..

Hi, there are quite a few places that would fit your needs - you can start by looking here at TA for places in Dennis, Harwich, Orleans, Brewster. These are all great towns and there are lots of choices with good reviews here. (Chatham, Wellfleet %26amp; Flamouth are all good choices to, but further from Mid-Cape)

Hi,

While there%26#39;s nothing wrong with staying in Hyannis, it is a bit on the busy side. If your looking for a more quiet place to stay, look into the kendrick%26#39;s suggestions. You can stay in Chatham at The Bradford Inn for under your budget. You could take the ferry from Harwichport (next town over) to Nantucket without needing to go to Hyannis. I%26#39;m not sure if you would have a waterview but the water certainly isn%26#39;t far. It%26#39;s somepleace to consider. Best of luck.

At the risk of sounding snobbish, I find Hyannis tacky touristy and trafficky (is that a word?). There are some great places to eat and the ferries to the islands. The beach at Kalmus is lovely for a picnic and views. Otherwise phooey..head to charming 6 AM from Sandwich to Brewster, or Chatham or Woods Hole, IMHO

Since you included your dates I was able to try a few sites that I could recommend to you and found no time in the first two weeks of July that had 3 to 5 days available together.

Here%26#39;s an idea though that I did not check: www.beachhousecapecod.com. The rate range is $225-275. Their pool is called Nantucket Sound and that is their front %26#39;yard%26#39;. The rooms do have refridgerators. Plus this is a Mid-Cape location from which you can explore. If they don%26#39;t have rooms then try:

www.threeseasonsresort.com

www.colonybeachmotel.com

www.sandpiperbeachinn.com

The first two have pools and fridges and are on the beach in Dennisport. Don%26#39;t miss having dinner at the Ocean House if you stay in this area.

The third is in charming Harwichport and has a fridge but no pool (I think) and are directly on the beach. Hope you can grab a room soon. Good luck.

You might try the Four Points Sheraton in Eastham. That would put you midway between Chatham and Provincetown, close to National Seashore beaches where you can walk all day on the beach and never reach the end, and just a few minutes from charming Wellfleet and Orleans with its many shops and restaurants. And they have a pool. Not my favorite place but I think it might work for you!

If they still have room for you consider the lovely Fort Hill Bed and Breakfast. All three of their rooms fit into your budget and include breakfast and wonderful charm.

I looked this up in what I consider to be the best guide book for Cape Cod and it starts out stating ';Perched on a little knoll overlooking Nauset Marsh.....enjoys one of the Cape%26#39;s best locations.';

It goes on to describe each delightful guest room then on to the common space: ';The casual , yet refined 19th century Greek revival farmhouse is a charmer - with wonderful hosts, separate guest quarters and ....'; Lastly the author speaks of the delectible full breakfast which is included.

I haven%26#39;t stayed there but one of our reliable posters on this board does regularly. So, if you want to located on the Outer Cape this might work for you if they still have room. You%26#39;ll enjoy the Cape no matter where you land. Have a great time.
