The entire staff was very nice and the view from the room was wonderful. Our room didn’t have an exhaust fan so the room was extremely humid. Also the water in the shower was luke warm 3 of the 4 showers

The staff were fantastic! The rooms could use some updating however, the bed was comfy and the view was perfect. If you’re a smoker like me, it’s a little inconvenient to have to go down to the lobby and stand in front of the hotel to smoke. I understand not smoking in the room (I don’t smoke inside my home but you are not allowed to smoke in the balcony or in the breezeways. With that being said, everything you need is within walking distance. A plethora of restaurants, shops and even a little corner market that takes 5 minutes to walk to. This is a hotel we would stay at again if we visit in the future

The place seems like lipstick has been put on a pig. Very expensive for the mediocre condition of the property. The security is poor because stairwell door closers and locks function poorly. Our room smelled mildewy yntil the ac units had run for a couple days. Unfortunately the only game in town at Folly Beach. The lobby area smells like one of those auto mirror deodorizers

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.
