Corporate needs a real job!
Corporate knows how to make money when oppertunity knocks....hell , i'd raise the prices too. That like hotel prices on the Cape during the week cheaper then weekend , Then the Summer rates. The rooms never change or your getting more. But , damn they go way up.

Both are right in the area

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Pinot Noir in one hand - chocolate in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming "WOO HOO"

So if you're going for no reason, it's only $120, but if you have plans for an event that require spending money they charge you even more?

Then Hampton would be easier...it's right off the highway......i've stayed there in the past. If you're looking for a pool , then not the place.

Matt, my therapist gave me a Teddy bear I could talk to when I was feeling really bad. I'll bring him to you.

Tig - We met in November and some of us met last week in Tampa. It's just harder to get to them.

She's talking about the Inn, you have to email them. I was surprised it was just about the same as the motel.

wonder why they show the other rates , but not those.....if i go , i'd probably stay in Hyannis , join you guys at the Comber on Sat morning , play golf on Sunday and hit Trader Ed's on Sunday night , need to support all the other bars that were good to me when spending summers out there.
