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(Please note the date of our stay, 9/2010, this review may be out of date?)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. I thought it was just OK - worn and sparse but clean and good value (thus 3 stars) - while my wife loved... More

My boyfriend and I stayed here for one night while we were travelling around cape cod and it was the best value room we found. It was in a lovely setting in cape cod and the room was very spacious and clean. Kelley the hotel manager was absolutely lovely and gave us a wealth of information on things to do... More

The place is for sale and it looks like they are putting no money into the ramshackle place because of it. The room they had held for us was in a damp basement; the lamp nearly fell apart in my hand when we tried to switch it on, there was a dehumidifier in the room for the obvious dampness, there...

The inn is close to everything we went to barnstable, dennis, hyannis, and yarmouth. there is a great icecream shop a little up... More

We at stayed at the Shady Nook several times before our last stay and were very satisfied with this mom and pop type operation. However, our stay this time was very different. 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

The Shady Nook is very easy to get to and is a great value for a weekend getaway on the cape. It was quite and quaint. We had a room with a great kitchen which was convenient.

This reminded me of the roadside motels along Rt 66 in the 50s. Shady Nook is the perfect name for the nice setting. We enjoyed sitting on the porch and breathing in the fresh air while watching the traffic heading onto the Cape. Pluses: large bathroom with all new fixtures, as well as a dressing room area. Friendly, helpful staff... More
