The Chamber gave us this hotel reservation. They were quite put off that we needed a room at 4 pm and the closest we could get was two blocks from the beach. No problem, we are from Wyoming and two blocks was fabulous!
The manager about had a heart attack when we checked in because he had never had anyone from WY sign his register. He gave us a second floor room that 20 years ago looked like it was straight out of a Country Living Magazine. It had a wonderful bed, fabulous shower pressure, well-worn furniture, no phone or TV, yeah!
I usually only stay in Marriotts, Hiltons, or Westins. This was so Cape Cod and we loved it! We have talked about the manager for 20 years and would go back if we ever had the time.
We don't have a clue what the renovations are, but be adventurous and break away from the chain hotels. Enjoy the beach and the great laid back atmosphere!
