Everything was great. I would like to give a shout out to the guy who manages the beach area. He was on top of it all from AM to PM. My only small problem was my parking spot, number 21, it was hard to get into each time we got home. The front desk was able to accommodate and give me another spot each time but was still a pain. Outside that, everything else was amazing. We cannot wait to stay again.

Weekend birthday stay

The location of Falmouth Tides is wonderful. It seems to have been recently remodeled so it is clean. The furniture is minimal. Could have used a small table to sit at while in the room. The bed was comfortable, but the sheets did not fit properly…stretched out and kept popping off in the middle of the night which was annoying. For the nightly rate that we paid, I would have liked better quality bedding and towels that were white and not dingy. The bike rental was a nice feature as was the little blue truck for coffee and ice cream.

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.

Very clean, super nice staff, and quiet. Perfect for a quick getaway. Room was spotless and had an incredible view. We could overlook the very small bathroom which was the only slight downside. Its a bit off the beaten path, so not crowded at all. The staff was incredibly nice.

Like being on the beach. Room clean and look great. One thing the bathroom wall plug in. Did not work asked the owner to have it fix. Never fixed it, we had to use a an extension cord we had with us. To use another outlet and bring the cord into the bathroom to be able to use the hair dryer..

I've stayed at this place before but I will never again. Unfortunately the evening after we arrived my dog had a medical emergency and suffered three seizures during the night. I had to leave and take him to the hospital. I called to explain the situation, but the manager insisted that she had to charge me the entire three day stay $2500.00 and could not issue any refund because it is the hotel's rule.Subsequently, my dog was admitted to a hospital where he was given an MRI and a tumor or bleed was found. My poor dog was in such stress and needed medical care and since I live in NY, I knew he needed to be near his home. Also I was charged a $75.00 dog fee per night when I arrived and was not previously told about it. When I had stayed the year before, there was no fee. They are extremely without compassion and are only interested in the money. For a place that welcomes dogs, they are an uncaring people where money, not human and animals, is their guiding principle. This place changed management and this present manager needs a lesson in humanity. I hope you never have to deal with a situation and people such as the manager Andrea.

We stayed here during Covid when it was a little old school motel. So happy to be back with all its beautiful upgrades and fabulous staff. What a great couple of days we had at the Tides. Room rooms are immaculate. Can’t beat being on the beach! Adorable little coffee truck right outside your door. We will absolutely be back.

I never leave reviews, but we had such a great stay at the Falmouth Tides I feel compelled to leave one. It is a great low-key motel. We had an ocean view room, which had a lovey balcony. The rooms have been renovated recently and are clean. The bathroom was small but clean and had nice products. The motel is close to the marina and the ferry to the vineyard, so there are a lot of boats, but the beach is nice, if rocky, and there are plenty of chaises and umbrellas and towels. We also took out the paddle boards. There were two fire pits on the beach at night, which was fun, and the roof deck is also a great place to relax. The location is great—close to the center of Falmouth, which is cute, and also the path along the coast. On top of everything, the ataff couldn’t have been nicer.
