The room was clean & everything was fairly new. We had stayed there for years before being sold and really liked it. It's "new & shiny" now but there's no coffee pot, all the dishes, silverware, mugs & glasses have been removed. We had to buy paper & plastic for the week. There's no light in the kitchen area! no shelves in the bathroom for makeup or small jars etc. no hooks on back of door to hang clothes while showering. there used to be a small round table on the balcony for drinks that's gone too. we will definately be back because of where it is but we will be forced to bring all the little things they've left out!! UNLESS we find somewhere that has them ....

Everything was excellent about this property. I have a recommendation to the hotel…Please place something wood/rubber or otherwise, to help bare feet walk across the rocks to get into the ocean. I would definitely stay here again!

It is a convenient location where you could walk to the Ferry and places to eat. On the beach. It still has a Motel feel. It needs some pictures on the wall—very nice staff. Clean and the staff was very accommodating. I would stay here again.

thought that I had signed up for an ocean front room but turned out it was an ocean view room. It turned out ok but be careful what you sign up for and are expecting. The parking was numbered but the slots overlapped so we ended up checking in the office and were advised each night which room number was available to park in. It worked out but was a little awkward. Overall it was a nice place to stay and convenient to everything that we did.

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

I thought I paid for a water front, balcony room for $800 but ended up with a parking lot room with no hot water and no air conditioning and people smoking cigars outside my room.
