In reference to the review from a Pennsylvania group dated Sept. 26, 2010, this review is totally unfair to the Chatham Tides Motel and its owners. We are the owners of rental property next door who happened to be staying that night. We tolerated loud noise from 10-midnight. From midnight-1 more joined the party which was fueled by alcohol. Swearing was also taking place. Our renters with young children could not sleep. After we and the owner next door asked them to quiet down, with no results, WE were the ones to call the police twice to get the situation under control. On the second appearance by the police they were told to take the party inside or people would be taken to the station.

First - we stayed in a ocean front room and had the smallest shower ever seen - my friends camper has a bigger shower! Sink was 4" deep, frig was dorm size and no microwave!
Second - police were called when friends were sitting outside talking in front of their room after midnight. The group I was with were the majority of those staying at the hotel and the owners called the police. Just to preface this, the majority of the group are over 60 years old. When the conversation did not move inside , the police were called back!

After reading the reviews on TA we weren't sure what to expect. What we did not find was a large 5* Hyatt or Marriott resort. What we found was a clean, charming motel on a lovely beach in Chatham. The rooms put us into a time warp, but they were spotlessly clean and both the TV and AC worked well. We were happy to have a refrigerator and the free WiFi. The bed was comfortable and when we asked for more towels they arrived promptly. Every room has a view of the ocean. The motel has Adironack chairs on the beach, but we had brought our own lounge chairs.
The location is in a quiet residential area and it was a welcome respite away from the bumper-to-bumper traffic on Route 28. The town of Chatham with its fabulous shops and restaurants is no more than 10 minutes away. Right on the corner of Pleasant Street (the turn off of 28) is a great restaurant called Pisces.
If you are looking for a quiet beachfront resort near Chatham to relax, this is the place.

This hotel was wonderful. We stayed in an oceanfront efficiency. The bathroom was small..but, we had read reviews and knew that ahead of time. It was immaculate and seemed to be newly renovated. Very, very clean. Probably the cleanest bathroom in any hotel that we've seen.

The staff were very helpful. Our bed was a bit hard and they provided extra blankets to put under our sheet as a cushion...that did the trick!

This is a romantic and unique location for the Cape. Very much "not" your typical chain...hotel.

The view was spectacular with crashing surf and there was an amazing view. There was a high powered ceiling fan in our unit which my husband loved. We had our choice of fully functioning a/c or heat.

There were people (rooms) to the left and right of us...but, everyone was quiet and respectful. I would much rather have people on each side than above and below! This was a one story unit....it was wonderful. (No clomping footsteps from above.)

Someone in another review said that it was too pricey...well..."hello"...it is oceanfront and about 20 yards from the water. My guess is that those people have not stayed at many other locations. A bit pricey...yes...but, also fantastic. How often to you have an opportunity to go away and have such a secluded, private, lovely location like this?

I would definately recommend and we will definately go back!
