I wanted to give it a 5 but…

Review of Tidewater Inn
4.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 4 weeks ago
First off let me say the place was exceptionally clean. It smelled good and the bed was very comfortable. That said, that part of the motel we stayed in was tired. From the keys needed to open the doors to the decor, the place was worn. I would stay there again but if you want modern amenities this is not the place. If you want a clean, affordable place to rest after a day exploring the Cape, stay here. The pool hit the spot after a day in the ocean. The other guests made it feel like we were staying with family!

The room was nothing like the pictures on the internet. The room itself was dingy at best. Air conditioning intake was covered in dust and dirt. They stress family owned. However, I do not think the family would even stay here. I spent over 3000 nights in hotel rooms over the course of 25 years of work travel. This is not the worst I have stayed in. However, it made the top 2.

Room tip: Stay away!

I have a severe gluten allergy, so we packed three days worth of food. Not only was the fridge in the room tiny, it was also not keeping the first two shelves cool. We did not realize until the next day, when are food was warm (not even room temperature). We talked to the person at the front desk, and they said they would have the manager call us. We never got a call, and had to go back to ask again, where they told us that the maintenance man had looked at it and said it was working. Magically when we got back to the room it was fixed. That didn’t matter though, because our $40 worth of food was spoiled. We asked for the manager again, and were told they would give us a call. They never did. Not only did we have a terrible experience with the management, but the room was also dirty and moldy. By far the worst place I have ever stayed.

The room was clean and comfortable bed only basics no coffee maker microwave in room
Upon checking in I had to pay 100 dollars not sure what it was for. Was not told ahead of time of this charge. What If I wouldn’t of had extra 100 dollars to pay upfront? It left a bad taste in my mouth I should of been informed ahead of time of this charge

I am surprised at all the bad reviews. We had a top floor room overlooking the pool. The room was immaculately clean, new carpet, comfy beds, pool was crystal clear. Bathroom had weird yellow lighting but all of the bathroom stuff was immaculate and no rust or ugly stuff. The bathroom was a lil dark in that weird yellow light way, but honestly it didn't impact our stay. I think the older rooms are the ones in the back of the parking lot where Helens Diner is. I would not stay in those rooms as I like rooms that you enter from the outside. We stayed for 1 night and it was perfectly fine. I will say when we came back from dinner there were a lot of people hanging out in the parking lot and by their cars etc. Not sure they were hotel guests, but it gave me a creepy feeling. We could hear people outside until about 11PM and then it quieted down. This place doesnt have any security or late night workers so knocking off a star for that. I would stay here again for 1 night.
