The TV is okay. Shower kind of poor quality. It is inexpensive, clean, pretty good bed. They allowed a late check-out and if you want to do mini golf next door, it is free with your rental.

We could park right outside our room. excellent staff members, very guest focused. We could walk to the most beautiful beach in two minutes, walk way out on the sand and then look at the high tide level a few hours later. Paradise fun Park is a one minute walk away. mini golf, bumper boats, cafe, patio, gifts, etc. We had three generations for our stay: Grampa, Son and two grand sons. We played 36 holes of mini golf late every evening. Absolutely exceptional fun! Thank you all for a wonderful visit, and we will be back just as soon as possible.

The staff were very welcoming and offered coffee, water, and popcorn upon arrival. You also get to play free mini golf at Paradise Park next to the hotel. The location was great right off the highway with lots of food options nearby. There is also a walking path down to the beach about 300 m away. The room was on the smaller side causing it to become stuffy during the day. A larger bathroom would have also been nice.

We requested a ground floor room due to mobility issues for my 87-year-old mother-in-law. What they did, they provided a ground for room all the way around the building into the very far end. Not good!

I am not sure if it was The Tide's Inn or the domestic violence incident that occurred while we there, but there was smashing, stomping, screaming, and crying, and no one responded or did anything. The room smelled like smoke, and we didn't get any sleep. Free goofy golf was nice, so was access to the beach.

Average stay
Room was much smaller than expected for the price, bathroom very small and location next to bed was very awkward and uncomfortable and the air conditioner was very loud! Husband got scalded twice in the shower when another unit either flushed the toilet or turned on the water.Bed and pillows were comfortable.
