Castle Dawn Motel, West Yarmouth

The room was spotless. Bed was comfortable. The fridge worked. The ice machine worked. A/C worked. Hot water was plentiful. WiFi was strong. Very quiet (top floor). The owner/front desk guy (Nick) was super-nice. Access to non-congested roads were directly down the street. The cleaning staff were very nice and friendly. Fancy? Nope. Lots of amenities? Nope. But overall, a great spot to act as your "base" while you visit the beach and all points on the cape. Thumbs up!

Good location but older motel. No elevator to the second floor rooms. Not bad for a short stay.

Well to begin with when i booked the stay there was no mention of a deposit, but upon arrival the clerk at the desk said they required a 250 dollar deposit and piunted out that on the confirmation it stated there might be a deposit, which now at that point its already been booked and paid but the gentleman let us stay anyway and the place was ok just a bare bones motel good for a night but no place to stay for a vacation.

It was very nice...no complaints! I was only there for one night, wish I'd stayed another couple of days. The room was very clean, with a microwave, small fridge and a flat-screen TV. There was also a side chair and a desk for my laptop; WiFi was fine. There is no coffeemaker in the room but they do serve a complimentary continental breakfast in the lobby - coffee, OJ, cold cereal (corn flakes, raisin bran, Froot Loops), and blueberry and chocolate chip mini muffins. One small thing that I really appreciated about the room is that the bathroom was stocked with a small facial bar and then a bigger round "massage bar" of soap for the shower. Those tiny soaps work for showers but it was nice to have a bigger bar. Also, they didn't toss my two soaps after I used each one once, which so many motels do and which is so wasteful. I used both two times and there was still plenty left. Also, the motel is in a decent location if you want to be somewhere between Hyannis and Dennis, Harwich, etc., although the motel is closer to Hyannis than points east. A really pleasant surprise for me was checking on a Thursday night and walking two doors down to Giardino's. It's a warm, cozy place with lots of home cooking, the enormous Keno Bar AND live music on Thursday and Saturday nights. The night I was there, two guys played acoustic guitar, separately, with different styles - one more Johnny Cash, the other old standards - and a third guy also sat in at one point. Would stay here again!

The office was locked when I arrived, and it took a while, before someone showed up to open the office door. On the other hand, the office provided me with a room, even though I arrived a couple of hours before check-in time.
