Don’t judge a motel by its face! Driving by, the Chatham Motel looks a bit shabby, a 1950’s style motel, rooms all lined up in a row, wooden shingles aging to gray. A swimming pool, swing sets and a few charcoal grills make it welcoming to families on vacation. Inside the rooms seem recently redone, spotlessly clean, TV, coffee machine, etc. They are, however, a bit basic. Ours had two padded chairs for watching TV or reading, but there was lots of empty space in the room -- possibly for a crib? The was a clothes rack but few hangers. But the beds were comfortable, the heating unit as noisy as in any other motel.
For a family on a budget this may be the best place in town. Beaches are nearby, a pool on the premises. Close by are eateries at a decent price. It was perfect for the one night we needed a room for, but if you’re looking for more luxury I’m sure you’ll find it on the Cape.
