Great that it was right across the street from Craigville beach, and that's what you're paying $300 a night for. But that's where it ends. Rooms were cute, but basic. Air conditioner was obnoxiously loud. Front desk closes at 7pm, so if you need a microwave or ice, you have to do it before then. There's only 2 restaurants that are walkable, and they close at 6 or 7, and are super overpriced. Not worth the money.

Ocean View Motel Reviewed

This was a great place to spend some much needed time away. Since it was off-season it was very quiet and most of the seasonal stuff was closed. Accommodations were excellent and staff connected with us both before check in and during our stay to make sure we had everything we needed during our visit. The views are spectacular and the beach was beautiful. Loved our time there and would recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable place to enjoy the beautiful sunsets and sunrises. 5 stars.

The Perfect Cape Cod Beach Hotel

The Ocean View is a picturesque beachside hotel that has that essential Cape Cod charm. I stayed in the Osterville room which fabulous views of the beach and was clean and spacious with a comfortable bed, mini fridge, and new bath. The best part of my stay was the service. I unfortunately lost my key while out and the management service met me at my room at 10PM with a back up key. Much appreciated!
