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.

This is not a boutique hotel as advertised and is in fact a low budget, rundown motel. The rooms have no amenities and are minimal with makeshift bathrooms, old furniture, cheap mattresses, and thin walls. You get two bottles of water and one bath towel on check/in. You are charged for everything and it is run like a third world motel. Our room was in disrepair and smelled like strong floor cleaner. It is located on the beach but views are only available on the second floor from the narrow porch.

I don't give it zero stars because they don't let them, the place the only thing is good is the location in front of the beach, the hotel has terrible conditions the bathroom pipes are rusty and very bad cleaning and why attract the customer's tension horrible They only have 4 parking spaces in front of the hotel and if someone else supposedly pays for a better room than the yours has priority in those parking lots you will have to park very far from the hotel it seems to me a lack of respect they also gave me a pass that is a literal paper a printed paper so that the city does not tow your car whose paper they do not tell you or that you have to return or what to do with it When I did my checkout the office was closed and they called me claiming the paper the person who attended me, a woman whose name did not say, clearly told me that it was my responsibility to deliver it when no one really told me anything about it and also she was not at the time of checkout I WANTED YOU TO PAY $30 TO SEND THEM SAID PAPER, I think it's incredible for a paper that you can reprint, in fact I HAD TO SEND IT ON MY OWN In the area there are many better places to stay, I don't recommend it at all My experience was horrible Ah, then,the checkout is at 11am and from 9:30am they are touching you in the room to know what time you leave I come back and I repeat I will never go again and I do not recommend it to anyone

Location is great, staff is very accommodating, it is an older establishment, nothing fancy, but everything you need. It’s a quintessential beach motel. The beach is gorgeous and it’s far enough off the beaten path to be nice and quiet, except you can hear people in the neighboring rooms so be aware the walls are thin. Especially if you’re on the lower level and there is someone above you. I recommend getting a second level room if you can. Convenient to everything. Pool is very nice and clean. Steps to the beach. Only downside is the beds need to be higher. They are literally a foot and a half off the floor, which is WAY too low for adults. Fix the beds, make them taller and comfortable, and it would be five stars.

I love staying at Tides Inn. We have been there several times. It’s quiet and the beach access makes it the perfect spot for early morning coffee and sunrises. The rooms have everything you need but a little updating (specifically the beds) would make it the perfect place to stay. Tides will always be one of my favorite hotels in this area.

This is a very basic little place but William and Scarlet are amazing and the location can't be beat. You're just far enough away from the larger hotels to avoid a crowded beach, yet close enough to walk to amenities. They put out the beach chairs and umbrellas for you(no charge) and they have bikes you can also use at no charge. We really enjoyed our stay!

First the positives. It’s a great location and just a few steps to the beach. Also the hotel will provide you with chairs and an umbrella on the beach. The pool is very nice. And the staff are friendly. Plenty of parking available. Now, for the not so positive. The room itself left a lot to be desired. The bed is a very low to the ground frame and has a super soft mattress and poor quality, ill fitting sheets and duvet which meant for uncomfortable sleeping. Also the rooms have those connecting doors for housekeeping and you can clearly hear the conversations of the people in the next room. Attempted to iron a shirt and the iron leaked water all over the shirt and floor. The room lacks quality for the price point.
