Lovely stay at the Tides! The staff was always so helpful and friendly. The view, awesome! Really really enjoyed the bonfires they started on the beach so we could sit in the evening with our wine and listen to the waves. Was a great stay!

This property was AMAZING!! From the view, to the staff, to even the great little blue truck selling coffee and ice cream was great. The room even had a record player with cool vinyls ready to play like Beach Boy’s Pet Sounds and Bob Marley’s greatest hits. How cool! The property was clean and looked like it was recently renovated with some modern touches. Another great perk if you have kids, they had fire pits on the beach they lit every night. One night my daughter asked if they were going to light the fires so she could cook s’mores, but unfortunately it was too windy and unsafe too and knowing she was sad to hear the news they gave her a bag of chocolate, marshmallows and graham crackers to eat in her room. That just made her night! Thank you so much Tides! Nobody would be disappointed to stay here. The only down side, if there is really one, is we would have wished the bathroom was like a foot bigger. It’s pretty small, but the room, staff and view makes up for it! light so theyto because she wanted to cook s’mores, they . The only downside, if there is one.

I love the place itself. So clean, people were so sweet and helpful. Loved having the ocean right there. The loungers were great. The only things I didn’t enjoy was no coffee pots in the room, no plastic cups for water or to rinse your teeth. Also the deluxe queen had a view of the side parking lot and food truck. But overall I enjoyed my stay!

This is a truly wonderful place to stay on the Cape. The staff is amazing, the location is perfect (if you like watching the boats in the harbor) and the property is the perfect size.

As a native it is wonderful to see an older property all freshened up. It has great amenities and of course is an amazing location on the beach at the mouth of Falmouth Harbor.

Other than a location and the view I was not impressed . The room was very dirty and poorly cleaned. The floor was absolutely filthy and there were stains on the sheets. Very disappointed for this over priced property.

The good, the bad, and the ugly. The good when it comes to this hotel is the location and the view. If you want to be steps from the beach and listen to the sound of the ocean all night and you don’t care about anything else, Then this is the place for you. The bad is that there are no amenities if they are really are staying there for more than one night. The rooms have a kitchenette, but they don’t stock it with any dishware or even a coffee maker! The only way I could get a cup of coffee was to pay for an expensive cup at there Little blue truck outside and around the corner from the hotel. I wanted a glass and they would only provide me a paper cup for my room. The parking situation is also very bad. Twice, someone from the yacht club parked in my spot, and there are no extra spots to park in as they are all accounted for. Each room only gets one spot. Now for the ugly… The walls are very thin and it is basically a two-story ranch motel that’s very small. I can hear the man snoring next to me and the girls on the other side of me talking about renting bikes. Unfortunately, the same girls decided to party and drink until 3 AM and I just had to deal with it. This is not a full-service hotel 24/7. There was nobody to help me in the middle of the night deal with this and the office does not open up until 8 AM.Overall, if you only care about being steps from the beach than this hotel is for you.
