Short 1 night stay. Room was clean and recently renovated. It was very noisy. Was in the harbor so could watch boats going in and out but between the boats,cars, and people moving about not very quiet or private

The room was not advertised appropriately. Hotel states "All rooms also feature newly remodeled kitchenettes. If you choose to take out or cook in, you will dine with the best view on Cape Cod from your deck or patio" , just empty cabinets.. Also stated " All Rooms have a coffee-maker, and record player. There was NO coffee pot we were required to buy coffee on site and spend $10-$20 per day. There's pictures of the Nepresso, as well as mention and all articles.. Hooked up with the flying bridge. Is now in partnership with them so they remove the coffee pot, so you are required to use them again bad business decision where did that kind of ethics come into place.. Talking about bad policies.. Arrived at 1 PM check-in is at 3 PM. They said let me check to see if your room is ready.. He came back down. He said your room is ready but in order for me to give you early entry you must pay $50 I would rather them say: your room is not ready till three. I'm traumatized. The record player did NOT work. The outdoor shower was located underneath the steps so I was fine I'm size 5 feet 2 inches but my goodness.. you're hitting your head. It wasn't what I expected..

The remodel of Falmouth Tides is excellent and tasteful. Love the low-key chic vibe. Directly on Ocean- great views and boat watching. Not a full service resort, but the staff is very nice; the decor is stylish and relaxing and there is a fun coffee/truck/snack bar on property.

Falmouth tides is a great location-it was clean a s decorated well. The harbor view was very nosy and loud. The air conditioning did not work. I understand things happen but the staff were not helpful at all with this and the issue was never resolved, even though they told me it was. They gave us a small fan that had about 4 inches of dust on it. I think had a manager closed the loop on the issue with us, it would have been fine-but we won’t be back.

I don't think I've ever written this negative of a review (and I've done many. Management/ownership of this hotel is, frankly, dishonest. After checking in at 8pm after a long day of travel, we had to leave and find new accommodations, which was really hard given it is peak season. We stepped into our room and it was probably 85 degrees. Management knew the air con was broken because they told us it would not be replaced until the end of the week. They offered a fan (in mid-August, in a first-floor room where it would not be safe to keep the windows open). The motel was sold out, and no other rooms were available for our 5-night stay. The front desk was manned by a poor young man who couldn't make any decisions. He was not permitted to let me speak to management/ownership (he was on the phone with her). To make matters worse, they didn't even automatically refund the $145 resort fee I paid at check-in; I had to request it. I understand that air cons break, but the least they could have done is let me know in advance (I had to pre-register the day prior, so they had both my contact info and check-in time). This may be a cute place to stay if everything goes well but if there is a problem, you will be stranded. Real all of the critical reviews about management and beware

They mistakenly thought that my pre-paid reservation was only for two nights. It was for three. They threatened me even though the 3rd night was already paid. When the booking agency—at my request—told them the I was correct they did not apologize. I have stayed in this hotel for 10 years. They have new management that is clueless, arrogant, and inept.

We recently stayed at the hotel and were absolutely thrilled! First we were blown away by the location - the hotel is right on the ocean, with stunning views of the waves and sunsets. Every morning we woke up to the sound of the surf, which created an incredible sense of peace and relaxation. The rooms were spacious and modern, with large windows and balconies that allowed us to enjoy the view right from the room. Everywhere was clean and comfortable and the staff were incredibly friendly and attentive to detail.

Absolutely beautiful beach. Steps and I mean just a few steps from your room door. Nice rooms, modern and clean. Quite possibly the most comfortable hotel bed I have ever slept in. Bathroom is small but just fine. Showers only. No bath tub, no complaints here though. WiFi gave us no issues on beach, in room or on roof deck. Was able to work a bit and connect all the kids devices. TV was great with all the streaming and YouTube to unwind after a day on the beach. Property is lovely and quiet. Staff is very nice. Walking distance to more beach and cafe/restaurants. Short drive to much more and a little downtown area. Black Dog Cafe is a stones throw away if you want breakfast or a sandwich. But warning, it’s stupid pricey but hey, it’s vacation. AC worked great in our room, nice fridge and microwave as well. Parking is easy peasy and you can park very close to your room door. On site mini food truck with ice cream and great coffee/espresso. The beach is really just awesome. Your own private oasis. Only for people staying in a room-so there was never more than a few families or couples at a time. Lots of space between beach chair set ups. Get a ground floor room-I feel like the second floor rooms definitely lack luster not being able to walk out the door to the beach. But it is only a few short stairs to get down and there’s a small balcony for each upper unit too. With small kids, you’d def want a ground level room! Kid friendly and there’s a small playground. Fire pits too

Disappointed
Our room was not ready and it was close to 5:00 pm. When we did get to our room there were flies everywhere. They had to vacuum them off the walls and ceiling. They advertise in room Nespresso machines which they do not have. The window was screwed shut - looks like a temporary fix. The shower door did not close all the way - be warned; the bathroom is very small with one person size shower. Checkout was challenging as the statement showed amount to be charged without any details and ended up being incorrect.
