I like the small scale vintage motel format (not a skyscraper) and having a kitchenette was key. Everything was nicer than we expected - beautifully done decorating & landscaping, comfy & clean. I really appreciated that they had the comforts of upscale hotels like lots of pillows & a nice pool, but with the added value of easy access to my car & we loved our tiny porch with clotheslines. Their free complimentary items list was extensive & included a fan, yay! Really nice people & peaceful place.

Nothing to dislike, very nice place

The young man behind the counter was so sweet. The room was comfortable and clean, would definitely stay there again.

Second staircase outside for easier access to room 26, lol.

The lady at the front desk (sorry, I do not remember her name) was very friendly and accommodating. The location of the hotel is great, and the room itself was a good size and fully stocked. Also, it was clean upon our arrival.

Although the room was a good size, the toilet and bathtub were a bit small. There was also alot of static on the majority of the TV channels, but thankfully, we didn't have to spend too much time in the room.

Staff was exceptionally welcoming and helped with list items. Location was close to our favorite old lighthouse beach and the lighthouse. we had a suite with separate large full kitchen which really was helpful. Very clean and tastefully decorated. Near great restaurants and across from Conner grocery.

A little on expensive side. Landscaping needs major work, could look very nice from outside, a broken picnic table adorned the property entrance.

The front desk staff are the sweetest, most genuine people. Very professional and down to earth at the same time. Very clean rooms, great ac, and conveniently right off of Hwy 12. Great pool. Lots of places are walking distance. Im the type of person that doesn't want some "Horty Torty" place . If you're like me and you're looking for a clean and cozy place, too lay your head. Pull the trigger and book with Cape Pines.

Everything was great!

Property was very clean, spacious, well appointed, vintage cottage. Management was very friendly and helpful! I would stay again!

It is obvious that the property is very well maintained! So renovations have been done while keeping vintage charm. I’d like to see a few upgrades made to the sitting room furniture.
