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.

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!

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.
