Loved the hotel. It was clean and close to everything but the AC in my room didn’t work properly the entire time I was there. We had to sleep with the fan on and it was very uncomfortable. Other guests were complaining about the same thing. We reported it but they couldn’t do anything about it. The staff was very helpful and I would go back if they correct that issue.

Our stay at The Tides Inn in Fort Lauderdale was unfortunately, a very disappointing experience. One of the biggest issues was the lack of parking. The hotel had rented out its own parking spaces, leaving guests like us scrambling to find somewhere else to park. We were told to “just park” at a nearby hotel across the street, even though it wasn’t allowed—which we chose not to do. Instead, we had to pay to park in a public parking lot, which was inconvenient and added unexpected costs. The room itself was also a letdown. It was very small, and the beds were extremely low to the ground and uncomfortable. It felt more like a budget motel than a relaxing beach getaway. Overall, this was not the experience we hoped for. Between the parking situation and the uncomfortable accommodations, we will not be returning and cannot recommend this hotel to others.

We had a wonderful stay at the Tides Inn. The rooms are renovated and you’re steps from the sand/beach. The pool and deck area were great, we traveled with young children and they were very happy to play in the pool. Good communication with the front office, very friendly, accommodating and helpful. Proximity to restaurants was ideal.

This property is clean and there is maid service. The beach chairs are uncomfortable and hurt your back. There is no foot rest They advertise robes and you do not get them. Room smelled of mold and clothes did upon returning home. The beds were comfortable but very low to the ground.

I arrived early at 1:40pm (check in is from 3-5) and was approaching the office to see if by chance my room was ready. The lady working office could not have been more rude. When I was reading reviews on places to stay, almost every one spoke of great/friendly staff. NOT my experience..at all. Was told yes room was ready but I would be charged $75 for early check in. I left saying I would return between 3-5pm. I received a call at 4:10 from same lady telling me I needed to be back before 4:30 because she was leaving. Hotel itself and location are really nice but absolutely will spend my money at a different hotel next trip to the area.
