The room needs structure needs major repairs the entry door doesn’t close to seal out wind blowing under and the sides of the door. The bathroom door and hinges are rusted so bad the door doesn’t close. There is black mold on the floor in the bathroom around the tub and toilet. I wouldn’t recommend staying it’s overpriced and the hotel didn’t offer another replacement room or discounting the room rate

Loved that it was right on the beach with a bar and restaurant built in. If I could change/add one thing it would be later pool hours, maybe an adult swim(?), and a hot tub.

We did not like the beds, worst bed that I have ever slept in and thought that the floor would be softer.

Our stay was wonderful, staff attentive, great ocean view. If we were to visit again we would certainly stay at the Tides. You can tell there was upgrades done to the property which are very nice but you can still tell it is an older hotel.
