This was my first visit to Dyer’s after many years of vacationing in Ptown. Staying at this inn is all about the view of the harbor. The sea breeze blows in in the evenings and you hear the gentle waves all night. It’s reasonably priced and the staff was a pleasure to deal with.
The layout of the motel is two rooms on the second floor each with private balconies. We stayed in one of these rooms. The first floor has three rooms with a shared deck of which our friends stayed in one of these. We found ourselves more on our friends’ shared deck because it was a more social setting and had lounge chairs to lay out in the sun. The private upper floor balconies are smaller and only have adirondack chairs. We had many good times mingling with the other guests out there in the evenings. Houseboy David was friendly, pleasant and attentive. He does a spectacular job with the flowers and grounds! There is parking. The rooms themselves are basic, no frills – again it’s all about the water views. But they are clean and roomy. The beds might need replacing, they are a bit dated. The bathrooms were a bit tight. These are minor things we noticed but we were comfortable throughout our stay. The only room I’d avoid was the middle room on the first floor because it has no windows which may get a bit claustrophobic. The windows and views from our room allowed plenty of sunlight and fresh air in. The outside decks are the highlight of staying here and provide breath taking views of Provincetown Harbor. Our room had a large refrigerator which held plenty. Also, remember this is a motel not a bed and breakfast so no complimentary breakfast is served int he morning.
We tend to like to be right in the action on Commercial Street. The motel is set off to the back and offers real privacy and quiet from Commercial. Which is good and bad depending on your preference. Sometimes we felt a little detached from all the action but it was a nice change of pace. We’d go back again and recommend anyone who loves to be right on the water to stay at Dyers!
