“Back Again”

Reviewed 8 May 2013

My wife an I are excited to be heading back to the GP for our 5th stay this summer. The staff always treats us great and the comfortable rooms is perfect for walking and bike riding all over Orleans. They are making updates every year while they have been able to hold the prices down. Excellent value.

“Great hotel for the price!!”

Reviewed 5 September 2012

Upon arrival the staff was very friendly and informative. The rooms are very quaint and a good size. Beds were extremely comfortable and hotel was in the perfect location! The only cons are the room could use a little repair work, shower head was very low and the carpet near the fridge smelt a little musty but nothing that was... More

“Just a place to stay”

Reviewed 28 August 2012

This place is is bad need of an overhaul. Room had no coffee maker; we brought our own which we had to use on the floor. There was a 15" round table, nothing more. The cable has very limited channels (Orleans does have an extensive cable listing). There were two outlets in the walls which were useless, the plug would... More

The staff, owners and I understand that our guests have high expectations when they arrive here on their vacations. We are always concerned when we did not meet a particular guests' desires. We do strive to offer visitors to Orleans a good clean room at a fair price. As I have mentioned in previous posts--we are a older--but well maintained... More

“There will not be a second stay......”

Reviewed 2 August 2012

I want to first say that the staff at the Governor Prence Inn were very easy to talk with and were helpful any time necessary. That being said, I was not impressed with the Inn. I know it takes money to fix up a hotel and if you don't have guests, how is that going to happen. The GPI needs... More

I know that the traveling public expects a lot these days--and its unfortunate when their expectations are not met when they stay here with us on Cape Cod. As this reviewer did note: we do try --and we are always in the process of working to improve the property--in order to make sure our guests have a pleasant stay here.... More

“Just ok, very clean, but needs lots of TLC.”

We stayed last weekend for one night at the Governor Prence. It was just OK. The positives are that it was very, very clean, and the staff was very helpful. It's in a good location, and we really appreciated the proximity to the Cape Cod Rail Trail. Someone there loves birds, as there is a beautiful little garden area with... More

We are always interested in hearing the guest's feedback regarding their stay here at our motel. I know that the traveling public and society in general has very high expectations--and we do our very best to meet or exceed them. Sometimes those expectations are unmet--I know from speaking to our many customers that most people appreciate the fact that our... More

“We like to be lost in another time!”

Reviewed 12 July 2012

The Governor Prence Inn has authentic, retro charm. Staying there felt like being on vacation in a "Mad Men" episode, complete with vintage grills at pool side. It may not be for everyone, which is fine by us. The staff was beyond friendly, and also politely let us enjoy our stay. Housekeeping also was diligent in their cleaning, and respectful... More

“Has Potential... Needs TLC”

Reviewed 10 July 2012

As the website describes, it really does have a nice setting - albeit zero landscaping to make it enjoyable or anywhere near the "5 acres of award winning rose gardens" advertised on the site. That said, its location is great. The staff is friendly. And the price is right. But in general, if I'm objectively reviewing this motel... it's just... More

We're always concerned when one of our guests doesn't feel that their experience at our motel met all of their expectations. It is our goal to ensure that people enjoy their stay here.

“Stay every summer”

Reviewed 2 July 2012

We have stayed here every summer for > 12 years. Never had problems: clean, kind staff, big pool and great location. Can walk to 5-6 places at night, and short drive to Nauset beach. Free cereal, fruit and bagels in morning is a plus.

We always appreciate when one of our many satisfied customers takes the time to write a positve review here. The staff, owners and I always strive to ensure that our customers have a great time here---- when they choose to stay with us. It is especially gratifiying to know that someone has enjoyed their time here so much-- that they... More
