What guests think
ShoreWay Acres Inn & Cape Cod Lodging draws travelers for its walkable location near Main Street and the beach, friendly staff, spacious rooms, and family-style grounds with indoor and outdoor pools.
Many reviews note dated decor and some maintenance or housekeeping lapses, including worn areas, occasional damp or musty rooms, and bathroom or floor issues. Comfort can vary, with reports of lumpy mattresses, loud or weak AC, limited outlets, some noise, and spotty internet. Expect a classic, convenient Cape stay with warm service and simpler, older rooms.

Facilities
Indoor and outdoor pools and the spacious grounds are standouts, with easy parking across the property. Some facilities feel dated and there were occasional hiccups like missing pool towels.

We were looking for someplace well located and well priced to stay at in Falmouth. The room was simple and what we needed. The children loved the indoor pool down the hall, and we could easily have taken advantage of the outdoor sports equipment and massive lawn had we had more time. Importantly, the inn is in the town center and close to restaurants, library, playground, and ice cream. Beaches were a 5-10 minute drive away. We definitely plan to return!

Room was spacious - enjoyed the full sized refrigerator and round table and chairs looking out the big window (old style fire truck was in view). TV was out for the first night, but was available the second night. Decor was dated, but mostly comfortable for our two night stay. Quiet location with plenty of parking spaces. Close to town.

This is an older property, family owned. The rooms are small and basic but clean. Bathroom is new & fully updated- nice! This is not a five star stay in terms of finish or amenities, but the service is AWESOME!! Extremely polite, can-do, and w a smile. I arrived 430am after a red eye flight into Boston, and my check in was not until 4pm (for a 430pm wedding, I might add). I was exhausted and, after falling asleep in a lawn chaise on the property, they sent me down to the breakfast buffet on the house and checked me in at 10am!!! Keep in mind, this is Cape Cod in August, it’s hella busy! I was practically weeping tears of joy. I showered, caught up on sleep and survived all the festivities that night. If you wanna stay at a family owned business w outstanding friendly service, This would be a good bet. Prices are very fair as well. It’s a very big property with a series of carriage, houses in buildings and pools and volleyball courts. There’s a lot to do there, but I didn’t take advantage of any of that. It was a nice clean room and outstanding service!

We stayed in the double queen room in the building with the indoor pool. There are several buildings on the property so I can't speak for all. Room was spacious and very clean. Furnishings were a bit dated as many Cape hotels are. Part of the Cape charm to me. Grounds were lovely and both pools were clean and well kept up. Staff was friendly and helpful. We didn't get daily room cleaning but we were only there for 3 nights and I actually prefer to not have it. I am certain that if we needed something it would be supplied to us. Very close to beautiful downtown Falmouth and a 15 minute walk to the beach. All in all, a pleasant experience. Would recommend.

The room we wanted with a queen bed as not available. After some effort we got a king bed upgrade with an opened can of beer on the floor. The bathroom vents from the 80’s a caked in dust. Not great overall but luckily we didn’t plan to hang indoors.

The property was fine- grounds well maintained. Breakfast was excellent and the servers were prompt and pleasant. Staff was pleasant and prompt with questions. The room however was a disappointment. Room felt damp even with the air conditioner on. The rug was damp/wet and I think there was a leak in the BR wall- the paint was sagging. Towels were threadbare. Overall a disappointment.

Like many other reviews, we found this hotel very dated. The room however was a good size with a very large bed, sofa desk and a table with a couple of chairs, plus a fridge. The bathroom was fine. Importantly it was clean. The carpet in the hallway was grubby and clearly had been around a good while. The location is excellent...1 minute walk from the main street with the bars and restaurants, and a few minutes drive from the harbour.

The Inn is super cute however the functionality is bad. I heard the neighbors tv very clearly, the street traffic was loud, especially motorcycles. The toilet is so low to the floor and a tiny seat. The porch light was so bright that I couldn’t sleep. The worst was the AC was so loud that we had to turn it off at night to sleep then it was too hot to sleep. We left a day early because it was miserable!

How do you dry your hair when the only reachable plug is next to the bed behind the nightstand? And no extension cord? There is an ironing board and iron but no place convenient or easily accessible to plug in and use them?

While our room was quite spacious - even included an almost-full-sized refrigerator - the bed mattress was terrible. Both sides of the king mattress had deep grooves so that your feet were literally above our body when you laid down. It really messed with my wife's back the first night and after that she had to put pillows into the depression in the mattress and sleep on top of that!

great property with pool, lovely grounds and breakfast room. Falmouth shops and restaurants just a few minutes walk away and the beach about 15-20 mins walk at end of the road. We had a lovely couple of nights here and wish we’d stayed longer.

Right behind Main Street shops and restaurants. A historic inn in the Cape Cod tradition with indoor and outdoor swimming pools, breakfast included and comfy beds. Would stay here again for the proximity to Main Street. 15 min walk to beach.

Wasn’t aware that breakfast was an option that we could purchase onsite….front desk could be more informative.

The property was probably the spot to be in its hay day 25 years ago. But it was pretty dated. Clean, but dated. The breakfast were fun the food was good the staff were so cool and kind.

Easy to find and park close to your room. Great lawns and outside pool with loungers for relaxing and sunbathing, Close to wide range of shops and restaurants on Falmouth's main drag. Rooms a little tired but clean and comfortable. Good breakfast. We'd happily go back.

Great location to downtown Falmouth and the shoreline. The room was very spacious and the complimentary breakfast was nice, with a great set of options.

This is an older property, family owned. The rooms are small and basic but clean. Bathroom is new & fully updated- nice! This is not a five star stay in terms of finish or amenities, but the service is AWESOME!! Extremely polite, can-do, and w a smile. I arrived 430am after a red eye flight into Boston, and my check in was not until 4pm (for a 430pm wedding, I might add). I was exhausted and, after falling asleep in a lawn chaise on the property, they sent me down to the breakfast buffet on the house and checked me in at 10am!!! Keep in mind, this is Cape Cod in August, it’s hella busy! I was practically weeping tears of joy. I showered, caught up on sleep and survived all the festivities that night. If you wanna stay at a family owned business w outstanding friendly service, This would be a good bet. Prices are very fair as well. It’s a very big property with a series of carriage, houses in buildings and pools and volleyball courts. There’s a lot to do there, but I didn’t take advantage of any of that. It was a nice clean room and outstanding service!

Can’t say enough good things about this place. Friendly staff, quiet clean rooms, located walking distance to downtown restaurants and the beach. Breakfast buffet was hearty and served nicely. Great for a relaxing family vacation.

The location of the hotel is great, Proximity to Main Street in Falmouth and then access to Shore Drive to get to the beach. But the location is the only good thing. The hotel is in need of a massive update. Everything is old and looks run down, and not to the level where it looks quaint or charming, it just old and run down. We found 2 cockroaches in our bathroom, disposed of them ourselves. Mentioned this to staff when we checked out and they acted surprised but didnt seem concerned beyond that. We didnt expect anything more than an apology, but we didnt even get that.
