Inn at Swan River

Clean with easy access to everything we needed. The lady at the front desk was SUPER!
The pool and fire pit area was nice and the heated water was a plus for our trip in late May.
I wish they had a hottub:)

Darling spot! The property was very cute, the staff was beyond friendly and the bed was so comfortable. Philosophy bath products were a wonderful touch! It would be the full 5 stars if the bathrooms were updated with new tile and stronger water pressure. Overall, we loved our stay and would absolutely return.

Family friendly, low-​key, well kept.
My boyfriend and I stayed here for two days and the staff were incredibly accommodating and excited to show us areas around West Dennis for us to visit. They even gave us a list of restaurant recommendations which turned out to be perfect.
The Inn itself is cozy and comfortable. Nothing extraordinary but perfect for when you’re looking for a reasonable place to stay on the cape. It’s right off the highway and has a heated pool as well as a fire-​pit which my boyfriend and I took advantage of both nights.
It’s a great little space and I highly recommend it to anyone who is looking to stay in the Dennis area. Plus, there’s an ice cream parlor and a Dunkin Donuts literally 1 minute away. Can’t beat that!

This Inn was super! We had reserved another property via the internet, only to arrive and find that it was nasty … so we hit the phone and started looking for someplace that would take us and our dog. From the first interaction on the phone, to our last interaction at check-​out, the staff was superb!
Nice room, fresh linens, clean-​smelling. And the backyard oasis was so nice. We were able to walk our dog back there — even let him off the leash as the fence kept him contained.
We have been traveling up to NH for years, avoiding the Cape — but, this will be our new go-​to weekend getaway. Loved it!

Every detail is attended to at this motel. i have very low expectations on Cape Cod, because most of the places are really dated and smell like mold. This place is absolutely great. The rooms are completely updated, loads of towels, air conditioning.
The grounds are impeccable, with plantings and grass perfectly maintained. Pool is clean and it too is arranged nicely, with hammocks, little trees and comfortable lounge chairs.
The location is fine, on Route 28 but short drive to the beach, and walk to DD.
My only complaint is that the foldout couch in the suite was very uncomfortable.
Otherwise, what a GREAT place.

The proprietor is so friendly… made me feel like home away from home… rooms are perfect — the towels so fresh, plush and bright white… the beds so comfy… nice refrigerator, microwave… flat screen TV with free wi-​fi. She gives great directions to the beaches… to great restaurants and I would not hesitate to come back! They do charge $ 2 for ice though… so instead, we drove to DD for iced coffee… solved that problem… lol.
After all, this IS a vacation, right? Heated pool — what more can you ask for?
I went to Falmouth for a 3 day vacation several years ago and absolutely hated it… and thought I hated all of the Cape… but now… I will know where I feel welcome the this place is the «bees knees».
The cleanliness and comfort is what I adore…

Staying at the Inn at Swan River was the highlight of our trip. Their backyard — featuring a nice pool, hammocks, shuffleboard, a fire pit and two nice gar grills — became the meet up place for friends from other hotels. In a busy town full of people on the fourth of July weekend, this place was a calm, quiet oasis. Rooms were cute, clean and well appointed. All the staff were friendly and hard working. All the amenities were well maintained and complimentary.
Only complaint is that sound travels pretty easily through the door you would open to connect this room with the next one. But the folks staying over there are respectful (more than I was, probably) and my friends in other rooms have no such partition. Minus half a star but I’ll round up because I enjoyed my stay so much.
Kid friendly, centrally located, 1.7 miles to West Dennis Beach (walkable with a new this year sidewalk around Trotting Park Road), cozy and relaxing, this hotel is a must-​return.

I almost didn’t want to review The Inn at Swan River and keep this little hidden gem all to myself but more of me wanted other people to experience this too good to be true establishment.
Check out their website for room pictures and that is exactly what they look like in person. I know, I was skeptical too, especially since most hotels on The Cape are super outdated, but everything was new, clean and comfortable!
The back yard is practically an oasis with a pool, sitting area, barbeque grills and fire pit.
After previously staying at a hotel on busy Route 28, this less chaotic main road was a nice convenience with stores, restaurants, coffee places, beaches and recreational facilities all within proximity.
The management I think made my stay even better by being totally friendly and gracious from check in to check out.
I do believe I’ve found my go to hotel for any future Cape Cod visit!
