Fodor's Expert Review Cape Ann Motor Inn

On the sands of Long Beach, this three-story, shingled motel, open year-round, has no-frills rooms except for the balconies and ocean views. Half of them have well-furnished kitchenettes. The Honeymoon Suite is pricier but has a full kitchen, fireplace, whirlpool bath, king-size bed, and private balcony. Free coffee and pastries are available in the lobby every morning. Cape Ann SUP rents paddleboards and surfboards at the property from Memorial Day through Labor Day.
