I wouldn't stay here if there were other options. It's the only hotel on Folly Beach. It's an old Holiday Inn. They re-did the lobby and it looks great. The rooms got a fresh coat of paint and some new carpet. Don't try to watch TV, I got a better picture in the 70's. You can't take a cooler into... More

We spent 5 days here and enjoyed the town of Folly! The hotel is well decorated and comfortable, the staff was friendly and helpful, definetly what one expects when you think of southern hospitality, well done! It rained and was unseasonably cold the whole time we were there so we cant comment on the pool (other than it was small),... More

Ideally I would rate the Tides somewhere between Average and Very Good, but there isn't a rating for just "Good". The Tides is an older hotel, and when a hotel reaches a certain age, it shows. That said, our room was clean and there was nothing objectionable about it or the hotel. The lobby is very interesting, the restaurant is... More

From the first phone call to make my reservation talking to Maggie - to the last goodbye out the door from Amanda there was nothing but kindness and understanding. After a 2and 1/2 hour plane delay and getting to SC -the staff were so accommodating and gave me the best room!!!! They also gave directions to a beautiful site for... More

My wife and I recently stayed at the Tides to visit South Carolina and celebrate a birthday. Our experience with the friendly and helpful staff along with the hotel itself made this one of the best vacations we’ve ever had. I can’t say enough good things about our trip and I have already begun recommending the Tides to my friends... More

This resort has the usual structural drawbacks of a seaside resort-badly kept elevators and passages-mainly because of the sand and moisture that is carried in. However,lets glow over the positives-excellent sea facing location and friendly staff. There is plenty of parking space and checkin is fast. The rooms are a trifle small but are well provided.There is cable tv with... More

My boyfriend and I just returned from two nights at The Tides Folly Beach and we were extremely disappointed with the cleanliness at the hotel. We felt cheated by the $300 plus price tag per night ($150 would have been more in line - the dirt and grime in our room was unacceptable) and we also believe that the positive... More

My husband picked this place for our trip to Folly and what a great pick! We walked to dinner every night, had a great view from our room and the staff was impeccable! We really enjoyed our stay except for the wind & rain everyday but we made the best of it! We would stay here again!

We enjoyed the location of this hotel, but felt like it was way overpriced for the condition that it is in. It was $300 including tax, and we have stayed at $300 hotels before and they are always in top notch condition and have superb service. The service wasn't great at all...we had to ask three times for a coffee... More
