A nice budget friendly place to stay that is right on the beach. Beautiful views of the ocean, lots of close by amenities. The staff was friendly and very helpful.
Me and my husband loved this spot. Directly on beach bar and restaurant and bar on property...pool was clean and lit every night !!!we didn't have to go anywhere whole time. We enjoyed ourselves.
The rooms are in need of updating and the toilet in our tiny bathroom was the height for a 2 year old. It was clean but could definitely use a paint job and some updates. The amenities were nice but took some time finding some of them. Overall it was a great stay for the price.
Rooms were clean, staff was nice, very affordable place for the convenience. Beds could more comfortable, and most rooms toilets don’t flush well and very few pool chairs(which most were old and messed up)
Beach front room, it is spacious, could
use alot of maintenance location is great!
Even though sign said no smoking on property there was a-lot of smoking and it was not regular cigarets.

We stayed here twice..on our way to our destination and on our way back. The first time we stayed in the 3rd building and was 1st floor..it was great location and decent room for the price. Its good for a one night stay. The 2nd time we stayed to the first building..didn't care for that location near as much..we were 3rd floor and the stairs and elevator were dirty..wear ur shoes!. It was a decent place tho!..we tried other hotels the same price and this one was waaay better. We would go back i think.
This was a nice place to stay. We stayed with our 3 grandkids and was able to fit comfortably in a room with 2 beds and a bunk bed.

When we checked in, the front-desk staff was very efficient in assisting with checking in, locating our room, and informing us about local attractions and restaurants. The air conditioning system did not cool the room properly. The property is also rather run down and needs renovations. Our room was spacious and offered enough sleeping arrangements for our guests. The on site restaurant was delicious! Highly recommend the pasta dish! The staff was very friendly and helpful. Overall, for the cost and proximity to the beach, our experience was pleasant.
We love staying here! Come multiple times a year a a couple or with our kids and everyone loves it! Lots of things to do in the area. You get the most bang for your buck! Well worth it.
Really good time there. Helpful staff. Clean, comfortable rooms. Beach front! Excellent location and amenities

If this room wasn’t on the beach it would be a $60 room. I would pay for a cleaner nicer room at another hotel and just uber to the beach. The boardwalk is great the beach is great everything else about the hotel is 2 stars at best. A lot of staff cleaning outside so it’s clean ouside. Was only like $80 more than some of the other hotels … just save your money take the family to eat somewhere instead.

TIDES 2. Room staff was great. Always had plenty of towels. PARKING is TERRIBLE I HAD TO Park 2 hotels away and walk. Ocean Views not that great. Older place. AC WORKED GREAT.
The room itself was nice. unfortunately i received a double bed room when i booked a king size bed but that was okay, the room maintained a well temperature and it was a clean place. the “amenities” weren’t available during my 3 night stay. the arcade was closed the entire trip, the restaurant was closed the entire 3 day trip, as well as the bar. the food court that was on site never had hot food ready to be served, only drinks and muffins/patries. i was disappointed that none of the amenities were actually available. the hotel had easy beach access which was nice.
Needs to be updated. The whole building needs to be painted. Air was cold and pool was big and clean. The cleaning ladies did a great job. The shower coming from the beach didn’t work. You had to go to pool area to rinse off the sand.
The view of the beach is wonderful but the rooms were older and not the cleanest. The staff is not the friendliest at the desk. The bar was nice and that staff was pleasant.
