Hotel in zona Old Silver Beach, Falmouth

We were so looking forward to the long weekend. I am not a camper but the kids had been asking. When I found what looked like carefree glamping, I thought it was perfect. Check in time is later - 4 p.m. - but I thought we'd at least get the chance to walk the grounds and hang out. When we got there we couldn't find a parking space anywhere so we drove up to the front of the clubhouse and there was a large wedding reception. We literally walked into someone's wedding reception with our luggage. It was so loud we couldn't hear any details from the front desk. We grabbed our keycards and were bummed to see that the entire clubhouse and lawn were taken by the wedding. This is a big part of their advertisement. The space doesn't lend itself to hosting a function like that and not having it be at the expense of the guests not attending the wedding. An earlier check-in or some sort of acknowledgment you were being cheated would've gone a long way in the hospitality dept. We got to our airstream which was clean and in a good spot. However, we were sparse on any extras - cookware, flatware, outdoor lights (no latern), matches. As I mentioned - not a camper and this felt like you still needed to bring everything so what am I paying a premium for? The wedding was also super loud so we spent the first night inside our very crammed quarters. Didn't hear much after 10 though so it was an early shutdown. When I made the reservation I asked if the pull out would fit two kids and was told that would be fine. It was incredibly tight and uncomfortable. It's a very small, thin lean back which leaves a big space right down the middle which we stuffed with towels. The bathrooms are large and modern. The water pressure is better than I anticipated for a campground. The next day there was granola, tea, coffee and cocoa with other items available for purchase. At around $450/nt I think a big tub of granola is a bit sad. A toaster with bread or yogurt to go with the granola would've looked like at least some effort was made for the cost. Overall, a cute idea that looks great for your social photos but not at all worth the price. And, the space simply doesn't lend itself to having a large function that overtakes all of the common areas.

I had low hopes for this stay and those hopes were even beyond than I could have imagined. We walked into the room and it already smelled like dead fish. The room looked somewhat updated but don’t be deceived. I logged into my computer to finish work for the day and was greeted with tiny flies. They swarmed my head and became more annoying as I sat there on my call. I then went to get my bathing suit and there were bugs on my bag and some of my clothes since my bag had been opened so my kids could get their bathing suit. First floor room, zero privacy, people constantly walking by and looking in to see what was going on in the room, closing the shades meant being a vampire on a beautiful day. I finally head out to the pool and thought something was wrong with the pool, it was beyond cloudy clearly over chlorinated. Not a single pool towel could be found either. Day 2 more bugs in the room. They give you shampoo, body wash, and a soap bar but no conditioner. the towels were a perfect size for our toddler not an adult and they only gave you 2. No tissue box under the tissue dispenser. TV would turn on but never worked. Two doors in the room, there should be a high deadbolt especially for first floor rooms. We had to barricade the doors at night to ensure the kids didn’t get up and leave the room. By day 3, we were ready to leave and the fridge is finally cold. It’s like they tried to update it cheaply but its true colors came out. Can’t put lipstick on a pig, it just doesn’t work.
