Cape Cod has a bewildering number and variety of hotels, motels, inns, bed-and-breakfast houses and weekly rental cottages.

Lodging Concentrations

Falmouth, Hyannis/Barnstable, Brewster, West and South Yarmouth, and Provincetown have the greatest variety and the largest number of lodging-places.

MA 28 Hyannis to West Dennis

From the center of Hyannis, going east along MA Route 28 through West Yarmouth and South Yarmouth for 7 miles (11 km) into West Dennis (map), is a commercial zone studded with hotels and motels from budget to very comfortable. None of these lodging places is on the beach, most are on the busy road, though the drop in traffic at night and the universal availability of air conditioning keeps the guest rooms quiet.

Chatham's lodgings are few, very nice, and higher-priced, like the famous Chatham Bars Inn. Provincetown has all sorts of hotels, motels and inns in all price ranges.

Upscale Rentals

Harwich, Wellfleet and Truro have virtually no lodgings for one or two nights, but numerous weekly rental properties.
