I wanted a weekend place to relax in Cape Ann for my college student and I. What we got was the worst hotel I have stayed at in my entire life! Upon check in, the manager was delightful - but it went downhill from there. The carpets, furniture, lighting, TV and bed spread are easily 20 years past their life... More

What a dump!! The bathroom door had holes in it as did the bedspread. It smelled of disinfectant. The owner/manager acted as if it was a big deal to give us an extra towel for the pool. The pool furniture was all broken and torn. We expected breakfast but got Dunkin Donuts and coffee. It was dreary and poorly lit.

I have stayed here three times this summer for a weekend get away and have enjoyed myself each time. Komal, the owner, has been wonderful and has always accomodated our request for a non- smoking room. The pool is clean and the rooms are spacious. We used to stay down the street at The Vista, but prefer to stay here... More

My wife and I visit the Captain's Lodge year round as a quiet getaway from the stress of daily life. The atmosphere is clean, quiet, and relaxing. The manager Komal has always gone out of her way to make sure our needs were met. I would definitely recommend the Captains Lodge for a nice relaxing get away,

He told me there was nothing he could do, I told him, ywe there was, call the Manager that gave me that price.... More

We really don't like to be catered to and prefer being alone. We had an effeciency with fridge, stove and microwave &... More

Friends booked this motel for a group whale watching, kayaking weekend. I had read the reviews prior to our stay, thanks to tripadvisor, I was prepared and not surprised. First the positive: Warm, clean, welcoming pool in a sunny location. Pet friendly. Two minute drive to town. Can walk to Dunkin Donuts, grocery store. Air-conditioner worked great. Rooms have a...

We were going fishing in the area and a few of us guys needed a place to flop the night before. We didn't need a fancy place as it wasn't necessary but I'd never take a family or my wife there for a vacation. We got 2 rooms and both were musty and smelled we opend up the few windows... More

I did not expect this motel to be paradise, but I was still extremely disappointed with my stay. The room smelled very old and musty, sheets and blankets had visible stains, and everything was completely outdated. The woman at the front desk was helpful, but when I accidentally lost my room key the night of my stay and noone was... More
