Great place to stay. Perfect location to walk to shopping and restaurants. Room was large and clean, bed was very comfortable, staff friendly, breakfast was an added bonus.

We were going to a Wedding in Cape Cod and had to find a place that was both clean and affordable. Luckily I chose The Olde Tavern Motel! It was very clean and very comfortable! The staff was great and the manager, Peter was very accommodating and pleasant! They have a pool but the weather did not cooperate. Breakfast was available and offered a great selection of quick grab or sit down items. I highly recommend this place!

This is the best option for a motel on the Cape. We have come here 3 years in a row at the end of July and we truly enjoy our stay. The bedding is comfortable, the rooms are spacious and clean, and the owner is extremely kind and accommodating. We love the breakfast offerings and make sure we get there every morning. The pool is never busy and always crystal clean. Tonight is our last night and we’re already looking forward to next year!!

This motel is perfect for a 2–3 night stay on the Cape. I’m giving it 5 stars for what it is — a clean, convenient, and affordable place to sleep while enjoying the area. If you’re expecting luxury or high-end amenities, this isn’t that kind of place, but if you want friendly staff, comfortable beds, and a hassle-free stay, it’s exactly what you need. We’ve stayed here several times over the past five years during quick weekend trips (we usually rent a house for longer stays), and we’ve never had any issues. I’m leaving this review now because during our most recent visit, the staff kindly let us cut our stay short due to incoming storms and didn’t charge us for the unused nights, a gesture we really appreciated.

I was very pleased with my 2-night September stay. Classic old-style hotel where everything is clean and in perfect working order. Bed was really great with plenty of pillows. (My one 'complaint' might be the lack of a variety of pillow styles. Option for a fluffier one would have made it perfect for my personal preference!) Breakfast selections were quite varied and satisfying. Wish I could have stayed another couple of nights.

My husband, 8 year old daughter, 4 month old son and I stayed here for 3 nights in June 2025. The room was spacious for all of our baby gear and very clean. No bugs! We had to wash bottles in the bathroom sink for my son and that worked fine. I never heard any noise coming from other rooms. Beds were comfortable and we all slept well. The expanded continental breakfast was perfect for us every morning. Such a nice perk to the motel! My only complaint is that there was very little water pressure in the shower. Plenty of very hot water, but minimal pressure. There were a lot of touches that made me feel the owners thought out a comfortable stay for their clients. Loved the back deck, and we checked out the pool but never got the chance to go in. It looked very clean and water temps were warm.

Great price for this location. The room was clean, the bed was comfy, and there were coffee pods for my morning cup o' joe. It was exactly what I needed, when I needed it.

This motel is a hidden gem. I was looking for something cheaper outside of Chatham and this was it. Thinking it would be just ok because it was a “motel” was totally wrong. The rooms were outstanding and updated. The bathroom had a heated mirror and light. The shower head was the strongest I’ve ever experienced. The back door led to a cute area with tables and a pool. The pool was very nice. If you need a place to stay near Chatham, I would highly recommend this place.
