Pro’s first: Room was cute. Nicely decorated. Large enough for 3 of us. Shower large. Enough towels. 7th floor amazing view of the ocean. Reception desk people are amazing. Restaurant people were sweet. Restaurant food was just mid. Ok for dinner nothing fancy. Cons: Room was dirty when we checked in. Contact lens stuck on the bathroom counter. Coffee drips on both surfaces. It was clear the room wasn’t cleaned fully. Let front desk know. We went to Walmart and purchased cleaning materials. Front desk offered to move us, but we had already got our stuff set up and decided if that room wasn’t cleaned then wasn’t really confident there was anything to say next room was cleaned either. The bathroom door didn’t close. Reception sent someone but he couldn’t fix it. It got fixed while we were out the next day. Honestly had the room been clean, none of this other stuff would have been a problem. Also there is only one elevator working - we were on the 7th floor. Not super convenient. Just all little aggravating things but cleanliness is a biggie. Ironically we would stay again. Great location. Good rates. BUT Would bring cleaning supplies :)

The hotel is very clean and the staff is great. Perfect location for Folly Beach. Walking distance to everything and right on the beach. The hotel is older so the rooms are a little dated, but it was fine. We enjoyed our stay.

There were many things wrong with our room. None of the outlets held any chargers. they all kept falling out. Our toilet didn’t flush. Our tub didn’t drain. Our balcony door didn’t close properly. There was only one elevator working so it literally took you 20 minutes to where you needed to go.

Heater sounded like a reving go-cart. Wind entered room under main door blowing cold air about 8 feet into room. Sliding glass to balcony would not lock Room was not swept or vacuumed even after we asked. Toilet stopped up on day 2 and was never really cleared. Front desk did not seem to care...

This was our 1st time staying. When we arrived to the room there was 1 wash cloth and 2 hand towels. No Bath towels for showers? No blow dryer, No Microwave , No working phone, No chairs for balcony. We paid $250.00 a night plus fees. I’m almost 63 years old and have NEVER stayed at a place without the necessities? For the price that We paid .. I had no idea that I had to bring my own towels and blow dryer… I had been so excited to stay at your property “ The Tides” but was so disappointed to the point that We only stayed 1 night. Had scheduled 2 nights but was so disappointed.
