My girlfriend and I stayed at the Cove Bluffs Motel recently and were very satisfied with our choice of motel. There are so many to choose from on the cape, but we read the great reviews and decided to stay here. Upon checking in, Norene gave us great advice on what we should check out in the area and even gave us coupons for a whale watch that we were going to in Provincetown. The motel is nearby countless beaches and also the national seashore ( great biking distance to avoid parking fees at the beaches). We had a small issue with our stove and management was very quick to fix it while we were out on the town. The area the motel sits on is beautiful and park-like; it was a great way to get away from the traffic some of the other towns in cape cod have. The room was very clean and our bathroom looked recently remodeled. Our kitchenette was very useful, especially the mid size refrigerator so we could actually keep a decent amount of food in our room. We wouldn't hesitate to stay here on our next trip to cape cod, it was great.

The smoke alarm in our room started blasting at 6:15 a.m. The motel's phone was on answering machine, the office was locked and not due to open until 8:30. No one responded to our answering machine plea for help until after 8:00. Nearly two hours of climbing on a chair and shutting the thing off every 3 or 4 minutes. No compensation offered. Fortunately, it wasn't a real fire or other life-threatening emergency.

Great location for the Cape. Although you're only 200 yards from the main road you feel secluded. Set in a wooded area with clean pool, hammocks, seating etc it's a great safe location for children. Rooms are clean and functional but things inside could do with modernising. No breakfast served in contrast to other comments. All in all though great value.

Stayed here for 5 nights in July after seeing Trip Advisor reviews. Motel is set in a little grove of trees so that even though it's just off Route 6 it feels quite rural and peaceful. We were in Unit 8 (2 bedroomed efficiency). The unit was small but really well designed and had everything we needed. There was a double bedroom and a twin - both with storage closets and a chest of drawers. There's also a living area with a large sofa, TV and dining table (can easily sit 4). Off the living area is a shower room (very clean and looked recently renovated), and a kitchen (small but just big enough to prepare a meal - full cooker, toaster and a fridge freezer). Outside we had a couple of chairs and a small table, and then a picnic bench table where we usually ate in the evening. There are also hammocks dotted about the area.

The pool was just across the driveway from the room - quite a decent sized pool for a motel with a few loungers and chairs. Also just beside our unit was the laundry which was great as we had about 4 loads of washing to do. There's also a vending machine in the laundry to get coke etc. You need to bring your own toiletries as the ones provided aren't up to much (although we expected this with a motel so didn't mind). Also didn't seem to have enough towels (there were 4 of us and were only given 3 bath towels a day which seemed a bit odd).

Motel is convenient for the sights of Cape Cod. There are some lovely beaches nearby (we quite liked Marconi Beach even though it seems to be less popular (this meant it was easier to get parked at!)). In Wellfleet (about 3 miles up Route 6) there is a drive-in movie theatre which our teenage boys loved. There's also mini-golf and restaurants nearby. In Orleans (2 mins drive) there's a big supermarket, pharmacy and liquor store to get all the essentials. I think it was around a 40 min drive to Provincetown. There is also a nice bay beach (First Encounter) a couple of miles up the road. We went there at night just to see the sunset (which was really spectacular).

Everyone we dealt with at the motel was really friendly, especially our housekeeper who did a great job of cleaning up all the sand we brought in from the beach every day!

If we come to the Cape again I wouldn't even think of staying anywhere else!
