Tides Inn Hotel

Very nice and clean hotel with an excellent location. Office staff was very friendly upon arrival. Later in the room it was difficult and I could not turn on the TV as it took two remotes that I couldn't figure out how to get the TV to come on. Then the air conditioning was set at 75 and there was a controller on the wall that didn't work. Upon calling the office the next day and tell him staff they told me they were sorry. Then called back and said that the air conditioning works fine and that the controller was inside the closet, which I had no idea that I should look inside the closet. They also said that the TV worked and they went there and got it to come on but it took both remotes to do it. It was a one-night stay for business and other than the air conditioning and television, the air conditioning being the most important, it was very nice. I felt a discount or a discount in the future would be appropriate. However, none was offered. I do come to the area two or three times a month and would love to stay at that hotel again.

Great retro hotel built in 1950. Totally updated. Super cool. Loved everything.

Poor quality

The Tides Inn was right on the beach, so a great location. Free chairs and umbrellas and staff attendant that brought the chairs was amazing. No ice machine - other than a tiny ice maker in the water dispenser in the tiny lobby. Room was clean and efficient - walls very thin so you can hear people next door. Location is great - I'd go back.

Expedia did not match the lower price charged by the hotel, nearly $400 in overcharges. The marketing of this old run down motel as a “ boutique” is a misrepresentation. No hot water on day 1. Amenities were missing, for example no bathrobe, slippers, or even soap to wash your hands. No screens for the windows. Electric plug hanging out of the wall was a fire hazard. Mattress & bedding was old & uncomfortable. No “premium” bedding to be had as advertised. They even limited towels to one per person & the “free” water was a total of 2 bottles for the entire stay. The closet consisted of wire racks & a drape. No instructions provided for the safe. I would never recommend this motel. The only redeeming quality is the location on the beach, though you had to be located on the second floor to have an ocean view.
