Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Shoreway Acres Inn 59 Shore St; Falmouth MA 02540 We stayed at the Shoreway Acres Inn for 5 nights whilst touring the East Coast of America. Location wise Shoreway Acres is great. It is just a few minutes walk to Falmouth’s main street in one direction and to the seafront in the other. Great location for exploring Cape Cod. We caught the ferry at Woods Hole across to Martha's Vineyard. There is a parking lot in Falmouth for the ferry with a free bus to the ferry port. This is only a 10 minute walk from Shoreway Acres. We got an UBER to the ferry but jumped on the free bus on the way back. We also hired bikes one day and rode along the old railway which has been converted into a cycle path. The Shoreway Acres Inn occupies a series of buildings housing a variety of different styles of rooms. The buildings are former houses which have been converted into hotel rooms / suites. From the outside the buildings are typical white washed Cape Cod properties dating back many years. Their website says since 1806. It reminded us of the type of complex in the film Dirty Dancing but not as big. Inside, the rooms are in keeping with the style of the buildings but are somewhat dated and could do with being refurbished. Very much 1950’s style. The first room we stayed in was on the ground floor of one of the houses. The room was large and spacious with a super king size bed and a kitchenette consisting of a cooker, fridge and sink unit. There was an ensuite bathroom. The issue with this room was that it had an adjourning door to the next room in the property which was locked but you could hear everything that was happening in the next room. The people occupying the next room were not being noisy but I could literally hear word for word the conversation they were having. That along with the 1950’s fridge that kept churning all night and the noise from the dated air conditioning didn't give us a good night's sleep. The following morning we spoke to the hotel staff about this and straight away without any fuss they offered us another room in the same block. This again was extremely large with two queen beds, a separate kitchen area and ensuite bathroom. Again the interior was extremely dated. A much quieter room though. The complex also has an indoor and an outdoor swimming pool. We didn’t use these but they both appeared very well maintained and inviting. Our package included breakfast which was buffet style. Pretty much what you would expect, nothing exceptional but enough to set us up for the day. This review wouldn’t be complete without mentioning the staff at Shoreway Acres. They are absolutely fantastic. They cannot do enough to help you. Nothing seemed too much trouble. They were all brilliant. All in all we enjoyed our stay at the Shoreway Acres Inn and I would stay here again. In my opinion though whilst the bedroom areas of the rooms were in keeping with the style of the properties and were comfortable the opposite could be said of the kitchen and bathroom. These along with the air conditioning require being refurbished and bringing up to date.

Quaint historical inn 1 block off main street restaurants and shops. Bed was very comfortable. My room had a window air conditioner that worked well and wasn't too noisy. Breakfast is included or a wonderful french bakery is a 5 minute walk away. Would book again because of great location.

Much more a motel than an inn, lovely exteriors but less appealing once you check in. Biggest issues -- the room lock is the same kind I use on my bathrooms at home, literally, and accessibility is a big problem. On the locks, I only stayed because the building we were in (the one with the indoor pool) required a room key to enter, but then the front door was completely unlocked for two straight days. A large toddler could break the door down. On accessibility, no one mentioned our room would be on the second floor and there's no elevator. Not a big deal for us but anyone with even the slightest accessibility challenge would be dismayed. While the room was clean, it was dated and poorly equipped and there's no daily service at all, even to empty garbage. They said it came with a coffee maker but not really, it only uses specific disposable coffee pouches in a little plastic tray you push into the machine and the room only came with two -- tried to get more but had trouble finding employees to ask. Laminate floors are warped, toilet and AC leaked. Having an indoor pool is great, but you literally have to go down to the basement and then take this very narrow stairway with no handrail back up to the ground level to gain access to it (logic of this arrangement escaped us, there's a door right there but you're not allowed to use it). Also very odd -- tables around the indoor pool had umbrellas over them but no umbrellas at all around the outside pool. The two stars reflect that the location is terrific, less than 15 minutes to walk to the beach and just a few minutes to main street, truly ideal.

Lovely place to stay - friendly, helpful staff, lovely room and quiet location. Frankly, I don’t understand the negative reviews at all. There’s even free breakfast and both an indoor and outdoor pool. Location is great too - just 5 minutes to the Main Street.

Delightful property, just off main street, just a minute away from shops and restaurants. Comfy bed, fridge, microwave, all you could need. Indoor pool was warm and well maintained ( the outdoor pool was being filled in preparation for the summer season). The real credit goes to the staff, the nicest, friendliest of our vacation. Rhey were wonderful.

We were booked into the Shoreway Acres Hotel by Trailfinders otherwise we would have turned tail and left. We were in room 135 which was typical of the rooms in the indoor swimming pool block. I can only describe the hotel and room as very tired old and dirty The hotel is positioned in large grounds and close to the town centre but clearly it is in need of major investment.

This hotel looks so much better in the photos than it is in reality. It is very outdated and tired. Our room was clean enough but the communal areas were a bit grubby. A breakfast was included but very poor with little choice. The hotel is in a good location both for the Main Street in Falmouth and the beach, there is plenty parking.

My wife and I stayed here for two days in July to see local sights and take ferry to MV for the day. Highly recommend Falmouth area for short vacation. The ShoreWay Acres Inn was convenient to town and ferry and the grounds were neatly maintained. There are several buildings. We stayed two nights in the one with the indoor pool and where breakfast was served. The room was large with a refrigerator and a step-down (be careful) area with a table and two chairs. The room, key-operated door and accommodations are rather dated, particularly the bathroom with its very cramped tub/shower, unusually small toilet and lack of a vent. The tub and soap holder appeared to have not been cleaned. Towels were skimpy. The breakfast was excellent and made even better with the friendliness and competence of Paula and Stephen. For what we paid to stay at this Inn, it was rather ordinary. We expected more.

Just back home after a short stay in cape cod. The location of the Shoreway Acres Inn is hard to beat. Just off the Main Street with plenty of restaurants & boutiques and about a 10 min walk to the beach. Plenty of parking and very friendly staff. The rooms are big and the bed is very comfortable. Rooms are dated but I like the retro vibe so wasn’t an issue for me. Only thing I would have liked in the room was a safe to keep our passports etc but that wouldn’t stop me from going back.

Just had a neighborhood gathering at ShoreWay Acres Inn in Falmouth, MA. The event was an ‘after the Christmas parade chowder hour’. We took a chance on an outdoor event and we were not disappointed - sunny, warm for the season day. The Innkeepers did a fantastic job Great clam chowder, hot drinks, fun assortment of sweets and of course S’mores kits for all. The grounds were beautiful and additional heat was welcome from the fire pits. Thank you Dorrie and Greg for a wonderful holiday party.
