What guests say
8.8 / 10 · Very good on Booking.com, from 127 guest reviews
Cape Pines Motel earns consistently strong marks for spotless rooms, a convenient location, and a warm, memorable staff — with multiple guests explicitly stating they would return. The main caveats are a tired-looking exterior that can underwhelm on arrival, limited parking, pool access tied to lifeguard availability, and the occasional comfort issue with mattresses.
