Cove Motel
13 S. Orleans Rd., Orleans, Massachusetts 02653, USAWhy We Like It
Reasonably priced, family-friendly and centrally located, the Cove Motel offers lots to recommend it in terms of basic accommodations. While not for those in search of luxury, rooms are clean and comfortable and the water views are lovely.
Fodor's Expert Review
Consisting of two main buildings overlooking Orleans Town Cove, this tidy but prosaic year-round motel has large rooms, most with decks or patios overlooking the water. Furnishings are undistinguished but updated and pleasant, and rooms have tasteful, neutral color schemes. An attractive picnic area overlooks the heated pool.
You Should Know There are limited amenities at the hotel.

Restaurants
Why not have a lobster throw down while on vacation? The Lobster Pound (3-minute drive), lets you pick out your own lobster to be cooked, while the Lobster Claw (5-minute walk), which has been serving up seafood since 1962, also makes lobster the star of the meal.
