Love The Tides

The Tides is a typical beach hotel which I love—no frills and no pretense, just fabulous responsiveness when we needed something. Blu, the restaurant inside, sells pretty decent pizza…

Chris, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Value wasn't there for the price of the room $500/per night with all of the taxes. Restaurant doesn't opened until 10am for breakfast but there are other options close by. Pillows on the beds are rock hard. Live music was too loud to eat outside. Would rather hear the ocean instead. Only one car allowed per room and lot was often full at that. Good location and updates to the bathrooms. Overall enjoyed our stay and time with family:)

Leon, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Our stay was just one night and we were with you less than 24 hours, but it was convenient for our travel and fit especially well with our plans to watch the Super Bowl at Loggerheads.

10/10 Exceptional

Been coming here for many years, great place to stay!!
MIKE, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Disappointing and noisy

Overall, it was disappointing stay for the price. The place was extremely loud and there was no sound proofing at all and could hear everything above us as well as outside the room. The bed was extremely uncomfortable with no option to make it more comfortable. For the price, it was rather disappointing and wouldn't stay here again. The only great thing about this place was that it was right on the ocean and had beautiful views.
Nikki, 2-night trip
