The Tides is situated right on the beach. Great views from all of the rooms. Nice restaurant on site. The staff was exceptional. Very welcoming and attentive. The room was good. Clean and plenty of room. The slider doors are older. Didn’t slide very well and the UV protection film bubbled here and there. But overall, great place to stay. Walkable to several good restaurants. Easy drive to Charleston and the airport.

Great location and lovely pool. Staff is super friendly and helpful. The property is aging and needs some updating but it gets the job done. No gym but beach is flat and runnable.

Arrived on 4/20 early. The room wasn't ready yet. We wanted to go into the restaurant and have something to drink while we waited. The host wouldn't let us sit in the restaurant outdoor area even though it was not busy. The cleaning staff did not understand the things we were asking for. The TV didn't work & had to be switched out. Only 2 elevators, 1 broke & there was a line of 20 or more people waiting to get on. The one working elevator was being used by cleaning staff making it very very slow. I asked at the front desk if they could tell the staff to wait moving their big carts around until the elevator was fixed. That didn't happen.

The Tides has many outstanding qualities. The view is superb. There is a small balcony that you can stand and watch the changing ocean rhythm. I upgraded to the premium oceanfront. The room and bath were updated. The bed was very comfortable. The staff was excellent. Check in was easy. There is a Starbucks coffee shop which was great! The restaurant was very good. Sitting in the covered patio area, watching the ocean and having a delightful meal was a perfect vacation.

The staff has to be commended.. I felt like they went over and beyond to be friendly and take care of our every need. The rooms were simple and nice and what I would expect at the beach. The property was well maintained and the restaurants and bars on the beach were unsurpassable.

The staff was amazing! From friendly text messages before we arrived, to being greeted as soon as we pulled up. The lobby smelled amazing. It was lovely to sleep while listing to the ocean. The heated pool was perfect for us as well. The "Do Not disturb" plaques even have magnetics to stay on when windy. The bar was great. Had a nice view and music. The drink selections were fabulous! Only complaint I can even think of - it rained while we were there. Water pooled up on the walkway outside of our doors that could have been squeegeed down a drain. But that's a minor observation.

In general, I like this property and the staff, but it is a little rundown for the price and does not have a gym. I do like that it is beachfront and dog friendly, especially in the off-season.

Right on the ocean. Comfortable and liked having a restaurant in the hotel. Loved having someone greet us and give us any info we needed anout the area. We did make a note that the bathroom needed more light more makeup/shaving. And suggested more light at beds for reading.
