Been going to the tides since the late 1950's. Still owens by the same family. Nice to beable to talk to the owner as well as his very nice staff. Have already made our trip for our 40 wedding anv.

Great motel, great, super-nice staff, great cat, great location! We love how everything seems stuck in the 50s. Reminds us of our childhood visits and that era. We want to live there! That's how much we loved it. If you're super picky and need to have first class everything, then you probably won't like it. Then again, you probably wouldn't fit in there anyway. We can't wait to return. Thanks for such a memorable vacation.

i love the tides its cheap, which is the main thing i love, but the owner is amazing. you cant compare these hotels to other places with out comparing the price difference as well. she charges you less, meaning she has less money for up to date applances. plus your at the beach, who really cares about the hotel other then the beds. which are super comfy!! ive never ever ever ever had a problem with it being dirty and i have gone many times at least 8 times.

it so so close to the beach, you can see it from almost any room. there is a private stair way leading to the beach that you get a key to while staying there. its perfect. if your looking for a beautiful hotel with amazing decore, please go esle wear. to high of standards for paying close to nothing.

We had the last room available this particular weekend. Our room was small, and very old. Though the room looked a bit dirty it was relatively as clean as it could be. The bathroom was very clean. The bed sheets were old, but smelt fresh and the bed was comfortable.

We hd two major issues:

1) After returning from dinner we got locked out of our own room even though we had our keys. The key I used to lock the door did not work to open it. When I called management, they were unable to open the door. We had to climb through the bathroom window (break into our own room) so we could enter our room for the evening.

2) The room had no heater. We froze that evening with very little sheets supplied.

If you are looking for an inexpensive stay in a city where hotels are very expensive, this would be a decent choice. I do know I will not be staying here again though.
