Located on Route 6A in Dennis, the Briarcliffe Motel is inland on Cape Cod, about two miles from the ocean. Accommodations vary according to the room. Though small, rooms have a refrigerator, cable television and Wi-Fi; and a pool is on-site. Shop at the Antique Center of Cape Cod, which is across the street next to Captain Frosty's Fish and Chips. A two-mile walk down Main Street takes you to the Cape Cod Museum and the Cape Playhouse. The motel is open seasonally, from about the second week of June through mid-October. Rates run from $59 per midweek night for a room with a queen bed to $209 per night for a two-bedroom suite, as of summer 2011.
Glorious blue hydrangea bushes grace the serene property of the Sesuit Harbor House & Motel. Though not oceanfront, the motel is centrally located in Dennis and about a mile's stroll to Harborview Beach. Dine on lobster at the Sesuit Harbor Café, a five-minute drive from the motel, or golf at the Dennis Pines Golf Club. Neither pets nor smoking is allowed in any of the four houses. There is an on-site pool, with towels and floats provided. Rooms offer Sealy Posturepedic mattresses and 100% cotton linens. Units range from a standard queen room for $135 to the Martha's Vineyard Suite, which has a full eat-in kitchen and sleeps six, as of the summer of 2011.
Head south of downtown to Dennisport to find Colony Beach Motel, located on the beautiful sandy beaches of the Nantucket Sound side of Cape Cod. If the ocean is too cold to swim in, choose the on-site heated pool. Accommodations range from a two-bedroom unit for as low as $90 per night to an efficiency unit with kitchenette to a two-bedroom apartment for a week for about $2,300 as of 2011. Grab a snack at the Sundae School of Ice Cream, just up the street, or dine elegantly at Ocean House Restaurant, 850 feet from the motel.
Unlike any other motel on the cape, or perhaps anywhere, the Holiday Hill Motor Inn offers not only four styles of room accommodations but also a family arcade, bumper cars, miniature golf, a heated indoor pool and its own ice cream shop on-site. Conveniently located on Main Street in Dennisport, this motel offers room rates ranging from about $50 to $135 per night, as of 2011, depending on choice of room and season.
