Beautiful location. Great service.
We really enjoyed our stay. The beach was beautiful and we saw dolphins on multiple occasions and enjoyed our balcony with a beautiful view of the beach. Having only 1 elevator working for such a large building was not ideal. Penny gave great customer service and was able to help us get a microwave in our room in a timely manner so we could eat our breakfast before leaving for the day. Penny was also very friendly and remembered us throughout our stay.

Great place to stay for location. Beds are comfy but nothing soft and snuggly. The hotel is in a bit of disrepair.

Location
The best thing about this place is the location. It has direct access to Folly Beach. The property itself could use some upgrades. The second elevator being broken makes for a long wait during busy times. Overall it's decent.
Stephanie, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

exceeded expectations
My girl and I very much enjoyed our Valentine's day weekend at Tides and will definitely stay here again. The staff here is super friendly and helpful. We did have a miss on our room being cleaned one day, but this was quickly corrected by the service manager. The location is perfect with about a dozen restaurants within walking distance of the hotel. Parking is free, convenient and secure. The beach here is very nice; clean, very dog friendly, and with sand hard packed enough for long walks or bicycling. The Pier next door is really great (free to walk out and on). The 'Pier 101' grill has the best Calamari you'll find on the East coast.

Anniversary Stay
Our stay was great, staff was super friendly and accommodating. The air freshener in the lobby area was very pungent and overpowering. TV could have had a bit more selection but other than those 2 items our stay was great and will stay again in the future.

Tides Folly was a lovely stay. The staff is incredibly helpful and friendly. The location can't be beat! Right on Folly Beach with fabulous views of the Atlantic. Great food, drink and shopping is a short stroll up the main street in front of the hotel.

It was nice but only one elevator worker when I arrived which was fine but the next morning for 6 hours there were no elevators at all. No compensation for the inconvenience or fact you had to carry things up and down numerous times
