Settled along the windward side of Cape Cod Canal within fog-horn distance of the early morning Striped Bass Fishermen, the Shady Nook Inn & Motel sits in a hollow of Pitch Pine and Maritime Red Oak trees halo'd in a horseshoe of brilliant sea-blue hydrangea. Located on route 6A - the Inn's nestled in the center in Cape Cod's oldest... More

Im very pleased with my decision to stay at the Shady Nook. The staff was prompt, courtieous, and very helpful. The rooms are very comortable. Aaron

Stayed here for the weekend and rarely if ever have found a dirtier bathroom. Room itself clean and large but when we picked up the bathmat it was covered with dirt and bugs. Also there were four (4) air fresheners in the room including one plug-in. The smell was horrible. All we could figure out was that the musty smell... More

(Please note the date of our stay, 9/2010, this review may be out of date?) This is an old-fashioned mom and pop kind of operation. My spouse and I were split on this, hence the four stars.

We were put in an adjoining room which offered NO sound barrier at all. A very noisy couple was fighting and watching tv very loudly in the adjoining... More

I stayed at the Shady Noon Inn over the July 4th weekend. We arrived early in the morning and the manager was nice enough to allow us to check in to our room so we could drop our bags and get on with the sightseeing. It was also the only motel in Sandwich that didn't impose a 2-night minimum when... More
