The staff was very friendly and accommodating! Tide’s Inn is a prime location, close to the beach and the town and just a short drive to many tourist attractions! Great to have free mini golf next door! They’re such beautiful courses! The units have been nicely renovated and I love the inclusion of a small kitchenette so you can prepare a meal or two without leaving the premises! I do, however, miss the breakfast they used to offer as part of the stay. It was such a great start to the day! My niece and I always looked forward to the arcade to earn tickets and win prizes but the format changed this year and there are no longer any prizes! Some machines were out of order but I’m sure it’s a hard thing to maintain. The room prices per night have increased significantly since last year but that’s true everywhere, I suppose! The staff did a truly excellent job making us feel welcome (free coffee or tea and popcorn in the lobby) and were on hand for any eventuality! We had a great holiday!

The staff was nice and it was a short drive to the boardwalk. It’s a very clean motel with nice staff. Unfortunately our AC wasn’t working properly which made it difficult to sleep at night. We loved the mini golf next door.
