Attractive, charming inside decor. Non-contact system seemed to work well. On cloudy days the room was a little dark inside. (Had to clean collected dust off light bulbs to improve lighting sources in main room. Bathroom well-lit.)

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities

The staff was rather rude and unavailable. The place was empty, and we were the only guests besides two rooms of construction workers. Very expensive with no amenities whatsoever. Can only get ice when the office was open. They left us only 1/2 roll of toilet paper for a two day stay. Not a good value. Inattentive property staff

Liked: Cleanliness

Great location and beautiful grounds, but the rooms need some TLC. Worst bed I've ever slept on. Totally wrecked my back. The TV was really poor quality and the WiFi didn't even work. The towels weren't great either considering the room cost $530 for 2 nights. That said, the property was convenient for a short weekend but will definitely consider spending a little extra money next time I'm in town to stay at a nicer hotel unless this place makes some upgrades.

(Note: I am a picky guest to host.) The motel is kept up well with some nice updates, such as fresh paint on the walls, newer bedding and lighting, and cool attention to detail in the bathroom amenities (new floor, barn door, and those faucets!). Everything was clean and well cared for, the pool was warm, the outdoor areas pleasant to relax in with morning coffee. The room was spacious with a good-sized mini-fridge, the beds, (though only full size, not queen), were comfortable, and the staff is very helpful and responsive. The only suggestion would be to upgrade the bath towels. Overall excellent value, not fancy but very comfortable. We would definitely stay here again!

We have stayed here for a few days the last two summers when we visit friends in the area, and it's always clean, easy to book, excellent service and communication, and convenient to beaches, dining, shopping, and touring around the Cape.

The rooms were smaller than I thought they would be. The microwave was very old. I would have liked my trash emptied and fresh towels on the second day. The grounds were very pretty and I appreciated a smoking area.

The room was attractively co-ordinated with fresh looking furniture and soft furnishings. It was all really comfortable and beautifully clean. A great little breakfast diner, Capeside Kitchen, and a fantastic seafood restaurant, Brax Landing, are a couple of minutes drive along the street. And Harwich Port makes a great base for the rest of Cape Cod.

The stay was OK until the third night,,,the battery in the smoke alarm started to fail, and we were rudely awakened every few hours...we should have been paid for the last night!! The pool was very clean. No housekeeping, but we are clean folks...so that didn't matter. There was no ice machine in sight, if in fact they did have one. No tissues in the bathroom was a poor way to save a buck.

We love staying at Handkerchief Shoals Inn. It is so clean, quiet, economical, and conveniently located between our two favorites: Harwichport and Chatham. All rooms have been updated too. It is a little hidden treasure!
