Just wanted to tell all you other regular Breakwater visitors (I've been going for 30 years to this place) that they finally put new windows in and they look (and work) great! They put new rugs in...little funky on the design but very cool. Glad to see that young foreign couple back...Les and Niki. They always have such an eclectic group of people working there and some colorful locals staying. I never know who I'll meet when I stay. Good job guys! See ya again in few weeks with my pooch. Spunky still loves the beach across from the motel.

I stayed here with several friends for the week of Carnival. It is just what we needed. Clean rooms, clean and comfortable beds, friendly staff. Clean linens were brought every morning and our rooms were cleaned every day! You can't ask for a better rate to stay in Ptown! It is located a mile from the town hall. Close to a nice restaurant for breakfast or dinner. It is also right across the street from the ocean, with a nice beach area. We are al looking forward to the stay again this summer! Thank you Leslie and your staff!

Years ago, way before my time, Provincetown was an isolated little fishing village with a reputation for tolerance that suited people whose lifestyles were beyond the mainstream. Then along came the MONEY. Real estate prices went crazy and everyone got an attitude. Good luck finding a decent room for less than $200 per night in season, and forget about staying less than four nights. What will all that money buy you? A tiny room with "luxury bath products" if you're lucky. Maybe a breakfast with homemade scones. Probably fellow guests with big money attitudes of their own.

Well, I have my own travel kit with my own luxury bath products, and I'd much rather explore my breakfast options than to be locked into the offerings at one B&B. I've stayed at many of the finer establishments in Provincetown over the years, and for my money the Breakwater gives the best value of them all. NO, it's not fancy, but it's clean and the people who run it are friendly (I believe it's family owned). They do not put up with nonsense from the guests, so you don't have to worry about a bunch of rowdies ruining your weekend. I tell everyone about this place, because I think people are suspicious of it because it's so cheap. I tend to steer clear of cheap hotels, especially if, like the Breakwater, they look like the Bates Motel (from Psycho). This is not your typical cheap motel though!

It's located about a mile from the center of town, right across from a nice harbor beach, so there's no noise from late-night parties. You can hop the shuttle every 20 minutes and be in the middle of all the excitement in five minutes, or enjoy the nice walk or bike ride. They let you use the pool next door at Cape Inn, and they happen to have an awesome little outdoor restaurant with poolside service. I had some excellent raw oysters! Hello? There aren't too many places in town that will give you that. A lot of those VERY EXPENSIVE B&Bs don't have a pool or a restaurant.

I last stayed there July 2008, but I'm writing this review in July 2009, just after making my reservation to visit again during my vacation in August. I'm really looking forward to another great weekend in "old P-town," and I'll write another review once I get back!

We were looking for a no frills motel to say in, after a couple of days touring around Cape Cod. We came across this place, and decided to stay the night.

We were offered a cheaper room at the back part of the motel, but decided to spend the extra dollars to get a room overlooking the water. The room was clean and the beds were fine for a welcome nights rest. The front desk staff were polite and helpful with information on where to go and what to see in P'town. There was the offer of a movie viewing in one of the conference rooms, but as we were only there overnight, decided to head into town. Being late October, most places had closed for the season, but we found a lovely restaurant with home cooking. Breakfast at the hotel was your basic continental type, although there could've been a little more on offer, but it was filling enough.

If you are looking for a no frills motel, with friendly staff and a great view, then this is the place. Thanks for a great stay.
