Tides Folly Beach, Charleston's Oceanfront Hotel

The staff at check-in was more than helpful. Very polite took care of request promptly. No complaints whatsoever upon check-in. The first night we were there we kept hearing construction noise. And the second night, it was loud also. We called the front desk at 9:30. We were told that there were no construction in their building that they did not know what it was. The noise continued until 11 PM or so. We were on the seventh floor. They were on the sixth floor doing construction. That was very aggravating. Upon checkout when talking to the front desk clerk and telling her this, she said that they were supposed to quit by 7 PM and that there was construction. The room was clean, although a bit outdated and a couple of areas could have used an extra touch when cleaning the glass that’s on th

Stayed here a few times in the off season for a little staycation. It’s a great location. It’s definitely an older hotel but it’s been renovated and they’ve done some decent upkeep on it. Rooms are decent. Nothing super fancy but exactly what you need for just spending the night and sleeping there. The hotel itself has a nice bar inside and outside as well as a restaurant.

Positive: Oceanfront. Friendly staff. Updating in progress Negative: The odorizer in the lobby is too strong. Odors are triggers for migraine headaches for many people. I had a migraine that lingered for several days due to that smell. It was not good for me

Overall great, all rooms have ocean views with small accessible balconies but hotel is showing its age. The beds and pillows are soft (for those who perfer firm), and could use more sheets or additional comforter (cold in January for just sheet and thin cover). Heater unit starts making odd noises overnight. Staff are incredibly nice and helpful, water pressure is great with very hot water. Pool is nice and heated (no hot tub though unfortunately). Lots of good tv channels with some premium (showtime, hbo) and ones for kids (disney, cartoon network). Fridge in room. Wifi works fine but is unprotected (no password). Quiet snd not busy (in january)

Loved this hotel, perfect spot! Everyone was so friendly. They were under going construction in January, once that done it’ll be a better stay. The only thing I didn’t care for was how loud they played the music by the pool even when no one was out there. My room was right above the pool for the ocean view and it kills the vibe of trying to listen to the waves in the afternoon or evening. Other than that, I’d recommend. It would be great id that was dialed down a notch or limited to hour blocks or something.
