Excellent. Great location, super host who makes you very good coffee and clean airy rooms. The whole place had a fresh happy vibe. Only a couple of minutes from beach and shops. Wish we were still there

I love this place! This is just a simple motel that with nothing fancy but David and chu-chu are a friendly and a pleasure to be around. The service is great and within walking distance to the beach and one of the best ice cream shops on the island... Definitely a hidden treasure!!!

Great value! We go early June, great prices, big rooms, very clean. An older motel but very pleasant. The owner. David is pleasant and helpful. Excellent location, can walk to beach. We stayed again in June 2021 and had a great stay. We had the kitchenette which was helpful!

Down to earth and unpretentious, even without the beautiful swimming pool this would still be a great place to stay... A 5-minute walk from the beach (saving you $35 a day beach parking), and about 7 minutes walking in the other direction to the Sundae School. Owners are as nice as can be and very accommodating. The Doryman is a true gem.

Absolutely the best real-time Cape Cod lodging experience. Price is right for this super clean and comfortable throwback to the 1970’s motel. Innkeepers are polite and helpful and always on premises. Huge pool with crystal clear water. Best deal in town!

We spent several nights at the Doryman this summer. The rooms are clean and well equipped. The pool was great and only a short walk to the beach. Plenty of excellent dining choices nearby. It's a great spot for a great vacation! We had another great week with David and the team at Doryman, our favorite summer spot walking distance to ocean and Sundae School!
