NO hot water
We always enjoy our experience at the Tides. I stay here frequently, however, we did not have hot water in the shower, which was unfortunate for the cold weather.

Enjoyable stay
We enjoyed our stay at Tides Folly Beach Hotel. The room was very clean and quiet. The staff was exceptional! The young lady in the coffee shop was always very friendly and was very professional. The hotel is very close to some good restaurants and we were able to walk to every one that we ate at. Good view of the beach and fishing pier. We stayed during the off season so crowds were not a problem. Definitely recommend them!
