The Cove Motel

Nice, QUIET, clean motel with a lovely view of the Orleans Cove. Service is paid attention with detail! I will certainly be back.

Seriously doubting the review by Steven D. I’ve just returned from a wonderful off-​season weekend on the Cape. Stayed at The Cove, and can’t wait to go back. It as was quiet, clean, affordable, centrally-​located and perfect for a Spring vacation at the cape. They have done an excellent job of bringing an older place, preserving all of the charm, but making the rooms and grounds perfect for resort-​worthy praise!
It is now my go-​to place when I want to spend time on Cape Cod!
Kudos Cove in Orleans!!!

Absolutely love this place. Incredibly friendly staff, great location, clean accommodations. An all around great experience. Will definitely be back!

We stayed at The Cove as part of an annual family reunion. We had a wonderful time! The room was clean and quant, and very «Cape Cod». It is convenient to shops and eateries, especially a wonderful bakery, creamery and The Christmas Tree Shoppe! I would highly recommend it!

First time visitor to the Cape and Orleans. Cute motel, clean and adequate. Stayed in a suite that overlooked the water. Décor is nautical but dated. The kitchenette was from the ’80’s. The pool is small and simple. Nice small outdoor patio for families and friends to gather around tables/​chairs and enjoy cheese and wine. Walking distance to several stores and restaurants. If you are looking for old-​fashioned (they still use a traditional key to open the doors!), no-​frills place to stay, this place is quite nice.

Waking up to find roaches in my bed was enough for me to get out of there. When I went to the front desk to tell the girl there about the situation, I was met with a «we never had that problem before» no offer for solution or anything. needless to say I will be calling the Orleans Board of health because no one should have to waste their money on a roach infested motel on the cape.

The motels is more than a few years old but is modern and clean, The room has a coffee maker, microwave, refrig, iron, coffee maker flat screen tv and wifi. The room was as clean as I’ve seen. The grounds are clean and well landscaped. The pool is heated. There is a fire pit by the water. There are charcoal grilles near the pool. The staff is very helpful. The bathroom is modern and clean.
We are attending a wedding in town and The Cove was picked by the wedding party and it was a great choice. There are several restaurants and shops within walking distance so you can drive here, park your car and not use it until it is time to go home. All this and the rates are reasonable for a nice place on Cape Cod,

We booked a room late here for Labor Day. We got a great room with a private balcony overlooking the cove for half of what other places were charging. There’s a nice gazebo and fire pit down near the cove to relax at. It’s a fantastic hidden gem. I can’t wait to come back and stay here again for a longer stay.

I stayed at the Cove Motel 12 months ago and it’s one of the nicer Motels in the Orleans area. Don’t be fooled by the entrance to the Cove. It’s a large piece of property which is well maintained and the view is great.
The room was well lit and airy. A bright room with a clear view of the water which was a welcome surprise. The seasonal rates are not cheap but you have access to the property and the service was very good. Rooms were spotless and the bedding was crisp and fresh. There is nothing worse than having that musty smell of the dead air room bt that was clearly not the case there.
There is easy access to all of the local eateries and entertainment in the area. Traffic can be bothersome on the road so take care when approaching the entrance because you can pass it very quickly if you don’t pay attention.

A great property well managed in a unique location. The management and staff are professional, engaging and on top of their game. The property has a great view of the Orleans town cove which makes being there a simple delight.
We have been staying here for a number of years and find all of the things that you care about to be excellent and consistently delivered from year to year.
Orleans has a number of good restaurants. One good advantage that the Cove offers is that you can walk to some to them.

Stayed here this summer for 2 nights and loved it. Rooms were clean, spacious, comfortable, reasonably priced. Within walking distance of great restaurants (both casual and fancy) and shopping, and a short drive to both Nauset and Skaket Beaches. It also has a lovely place to sit and look at the water — very nice early in the morning or early evening.
I wasn’t blown away by the pool, but I’m still giving the place 5 stars because you don’t go to the Cape in the summer to swim in a motel pool, do you? :)

We have stayed here twice a year for the last two years, and absolutely can not say enough good things about this place. The rooms are clean, comfortable, and homey. The staff is hospitable, helpful, and flexible — we have arrived late at night each time, and each time they were so accommodating (we’ll leave the light on for you, check in in the morning, no rush, etc).
When we stayed here most recently, over the summer, the A/​C was incredibly noisy, so much so we couldn’t use it at night because it was keeping us awake. We told the front desk about it, and they delivered us a fan. Luckily the nights were cool, so we just left the window open with the fan in front of it, and it was perfect.
This place is situated in a beautiful, quieter area of the Cape, far from the noisy hustle and bustle of the Hyannis area. Lots to do in Orleans (bike trails, kayaking) and in nearby areas of Wellfleet and Brewster.
Definitely consider it if you need a place to stay in the area.

I have never stayed here.
But family and friends return year after year, and extoll the facility, the view, the location, the staff, the (relative) reasonable rates, and so The Cove is my «go to» referral for folks visiting the Cape and needing a place to stay. What I most love is its proximity to genuine Cape Cod — an old fashioned ice cream parlor, a lighting fixture antique store that is wonderfully musty, the french cable station museum, and several great local restaurants like the Land ‘Ho (lunch) and The Academy Ocean Grill and the Saltwater Grill. all within walking distance.
If you are the type of person who feels that Bed and Breakfast are too familiar, and that area motels lack seaside character, turn here immediately. Well done, The Cove.

We stayed at The Cove Motel for 2 nights last week.
There were 6 of us in 3 different rooms, we were in town for a wedding.
The rooms were VERY very clean with plenty of room. Outside all of the rooms were tables and chairs to sit and visit. We spent the entire morning on the deck, before moving our party to the pool area– to enjoy some sun. The pool area was also very clean.
The office staff was very friendly– I was bad because I never stopped in the office until the morning we checked out, we had arrived late on Wed. night and our friends had grabbed the key to our room– then Thursday, I just never made it to the office even though we spent the day at the motel-​before leaving for the wedding– which was down the road. This wasn’t an issue in anyway, we had pre-​paid so it was fine.
I would love to stay here again soon!

Great location, polite staff, and clean pool. Some of the rooms even have a full kitchen. Great for families as well as couples. Walking distance from several restaurants — but a drive to the beach. A safe bet for a place to stay in a pinch.
