The location right on the beach is what makes this hotel. But, it is an old hotel, rooms need updating. You must pay a daily resort fee which covers wi-fi which is incredibly slow. Should be better fir the additional cist of it.

Room was clean, with comfortable beds. Visible wear on chairs, lampshade. Ocean view is good but balcony is too shallow for even a chair or small table. Less than three feet deep, you could only stand there, not sit and enjoy. All balconies at Tides are like this.

I cannot praise the staff enough. Macey, not sure on spelling, went far above and beyond to help me. I was confused on a few things. The room inspector, I never caught her name, was quick to help me with any issues i had. These two alone are enough reason to return.
