Wife had mentioned vacationing in Cape Cod.  Could anybody recommend some hotels that are priced decent.  Is there alot of attractions around?  I couldn't find much online which really scares me.  Dog tracks?  I'd love to go see some greyhounds race, and maybe win a little money.

Seabrook, NH is home to Yankee Greyhound Racing. It is about 2 hours from the Cape.

No Greyhound racing on the Cape, but they do have one in Rayham.   Not sure where to direct you too - depends on what you are looking for besides the Dog Track.

Cape is a great place to visit, I agree with Hanna need to know a little more about what you are looking to see. Here's a link to check some things out http://capecod.com/

The islands are beautiful but can be pricey depending on your budget.

Seabrook 2 hours from the Cape?  I want your car.

Taunton/Raynam has a dog track.

I was going with middle of the road. It used to take me about two hours to get to my family is Barnstable from Seabrook.  Now if they will be in Province town with the traffic it will take longer.

Sorry to drag an old topic up, but I'm still searching for places to stay.  It'll just be me and wife, so a queen size bed or larger would be ok.  I'd like to stay by the beach, doesn't have to be super fancy, where I might play golf a time or two and get to eat some fresh seafood.  I'm not opposed to hotels at all.  Seems most everything I'm looking at is resorts that are $200+/night.  IMO spending more than about 125 bucks a night is wasting money.  Most of the time when you vacationing, your at the beach or checking out the local attractions.

Not too sure what on the Cape but do know there are tons of new places in Plymouth that are fairly reasonable.  Close to the ocean, and 10 minutes from the Cape Bridges.  Also tons of golf in the area too!    When are you traveling?

Early Spring Summer in Hyannis - http://www.anchorin.com/cape-cod-hotels ... -rates.asp  not too bad for rates.

We're gonna be traveling June 5 (after work) to New Hampshire for my wife's high school reunion.  Gotta get there by Friday night.  I'm looking to stay some place from June 8-12.  I don't know much about the coast, this will be my first trip to a northern state in about 7 years.  Only times I've been up north is when we used to travel to Canada to party.  Is there anywhere you would recommend besides Cape Cod that might be in the general direction of travel of Tennessee to New Hampshire?  I've always traveled to Florida for vacations, fairly cheap and tons of stuff to do!

there are some GORGEOUS places in NH..on the ocean...not so expensive ....cape in the summer is MADNESS..to say the least...i remember growing up dreading the summer b/c took 10 minutes to get to work in all the other seasons...in summer it took an hour ..b/c of tourist traffic...

Thanks for all the links!  To be honest, after alot of researching, I believe we're gonna stay in Portsmouth, NH.  The hotel rates are about 20-30/night cheaper and it's actually more convenient to our overall trip.  Don't know much about the area, but as long as there good seafood, a place to play golf one day, I'm content.  Found lodging with indoor pool and hot tub.  All the reviews from tripadvisor comment on how clean and well-kept the place is so I'm gonna give it a shot assuming the wife approves.  Had everything nailed down for Cape Cod except making the reservation and she changed her mind last night!

Porthsmith is a great place.   We have gone up there for dinner  - ate right on the harbor.  It was a nice time.  There is a little Italian place that has the best muscles I have ever had - cannot think of it but if I do - will let you know!

 

[HannaBanana]

Ok Found it - Its the Rosa - if you like muscles in a garlic white wine sauce - this is by far the best I have ever had.
