Once i arrived at the hotel, I was told that there are additional charges and taxes that needed to be paid, I paid full price and taxes at when i booked the place at Hotel.com. This never happened to me at any other bookings.

Macy was amazing!! Friendly very helpful. She and Cordale helped me get my firestick working with the tv so my husband could watch his football game.
Kat at the front desk was also awesome. I lost my bracelet. She checked all the lost and found. So hopefully it will turn up.
Everything was great as always!! Staff is great!!
Now neighbors top and side not so much. But we love Folly & Tides we will be back!!

The front desk staff was amazing and the location was beautiful but the property itself was rough around the edges. The tub was in bad shape and the shower curtain rod was hanging on by a thread. I understand we were by the ocean but there was an excessive amount of rust in the room. One elevator was out of order and the other either had a 12 person line or a cleaning cart waiting to get on it. I was on the fifth floor and had to use the stairs everytime. Which was not convenient with all my luggage and pet.

Just beautiful. Perfect spot, perfect view, the sound of the waves. Sunset and sunrise!

We had a great visit and would have planned to return every trip to Charleston but I noticed a very big charge on my cc bill and when I called I was told it was a " Smoking Fee", WHAT?? She said they have these super sensitive sensors that detect smoke, candeles, burned hairspray from a straightener, but they definitely wouldn't pick up the smoke from the corridor or balconies that we could smell from our room during our stay, eye roll.. so we were falsly accused and charged a ludicrous fee of almost double what the room charge was for something we didn't do!!! I will NOT be returning and I would suggest AVOIDING Tides Folley Beach. I'm also shocked that they can do servalence like that without any notification, shady.

Great view but cleanliness was a major problem. MOLD was everywhere and the sink and shower was clogged
3.0 / 10.0
They were renovating rooms right next to the pool. Theyd drill mid day and you could hear the drilling vibrating in the walls in your room. We moved rooms further away and you could still here it. The construction was right next to the pool so youd hear it at the pool as well.
Pros: excellent room cleaning and staff service, pool, beach views from room, great location close to restaurants and restaurants on site, free parking
Cons: really dated rooms - very rusted light fixtures & banged up furniture/walls, uncomfortable bed, construction

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
5.0 / 10.0
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

Couldn’t sleep at night with loud heavy machinery operating all night long to restore the beach there. No TV also!!
4.0 / 10.0
Lobby is beautiful! Can’t beat the beachfront location. Fun beach bar. Loved that parking was included. Rooms need some TLC. We were charged $30 to sit on beach chairs for the day. We’d assumed a beachfront hotel would provide their guests with beach chairs; quite a shock.

3.0 / 10.0
Hotel was old and needed updating. Phone charger stations in my room didn’t work. Balcony was so small you couldn’t fit a chair on it to sit down. No smoking allowed on balcony even with door to room closed. $350.00 fine. Very overpriced at $250.00 a night. early check out required a forfeiture of one nights room fee.
8.0 / 10.0
The staff was amazing, every single one was so friendly and helpful, addressed any request immediately! The coffee shop was great, and the restaurant was wonderful. My only disappointment was that you had to purchase a chair on the beach, I realize that the chairs were managed by another company. It would be nice if there could be so sort of collaboration with the hotel for guest. Otherwise, it is a great place to stay!
8.0 / 10.0
Price was too high. Did not have a microwave or chairs for the deck in the room. Turns out that we could have asked for these. The chairs we figured out on our own and the microwave we were told about when we checked out and complained about it. This should be offered. Plus, at this price point there should be free breakfast since the units do not have kitchens - they have a restaurant on site that could handle this.

We really enjoyed our stay at Tides. We came the week after Labor Day so getting into the off season. The staff were friendly and helpful. The room was clean and had a beautiful unobstructed ocean view. Parking is easy and we never needed to use our car. We were able to walk to bars, restaurant, shops, etc. within a few blocks.

Terrific long weekend stay at the Tides @ Folly Beach! We played in the ocean and swam in the pool. We ate poolside and had dinner onsite at Blu. We have made this or base of operations while visiting Charleston a couple times. The staff is attentive and friendly - that has been consistent over our trips the past couple years. We will stay there again.

Staff outside and front desk were great. The place needs a total renovation and management to train the staff. The room cleaning staff was not very willing to do their work. No English, didn't even know to take the tips we left every day. Then our 4 year old decided to do some cleaning and.....idk what she got from under the bed but it was nasty. For a cracksmoking hotel ok but oceanfront and the dollars they charged nope never again

We just spent three nights at this property. The entire staff did a great job of making our stay more enjoyable. If we needed anything it was taken care of immediately!
We appreciated the fact that everything was a short walk to access. We stayed Wednesday thru Saturday. Wednesday they were hosting a surfing experience for autistic children , the property was very busy but the staff handled it well. Thursday was a quiet day on the property but by Friday you could tell that things were ramping up for the weekend.If you want quiet and relaxation, I recommend staying Sunday-Thursday, weekends have a party atmosphere .
We had appetizers and drinks at Blu on Friday night. We got right in without reservations but I would recommend reservations! Service was great and food was good.
The hotel is a former Holiday Inn , great location right on the beach with all rooms having ocean views. The first floor has been updated and very nice, the rooms have had some updates and are satisfactory but the bathrooms could use a complete redo. It’s clean , just needs updating! We had issues with a loud air conditioner in our room and they immediately checked it out and moved us to a different room. We ran into a problem with our phone not working and it was taken care of in less than 10 minutes.
You can’t beat the location, with bars and restaurants located at the property and right across the street. There are many choices in a four block area. Loved the laid back vibe of Folly Beach !

Location directly on the beach is rarely found at this affordable price. We enjoy parking the car once and being able to walk wherever we go.

I love this place. I think they are in the process of renovating some of the rooms. The place has been here forever and needs a little facelift. Best place to go if you have a dog, especially in the off-season. I come here several times a year.
4.0 / 10.0
We enjoyed an upper level room that had been completely remodeled ~ new flooring, bathroom, etc. We loved having an ocean front view ~ although it took two of us to open and close the sliding glass door (it was not recently replaced). The beds were comfortable, but were soft and a bit lumpy like they had maybe not replaced the mattresses, but added toppers. Overall it was really nice, although there was an incident a couple of doors down from us where a man had beat up another man. Lots of uniformed people and emergency vehicles and after they all left a woman was crying and wailing on the balcony until almost midnight. Not the hotels fault, of course, but lots of noise and commotion.
8.0 / 10.0
Staff was friendly and attentive. From the bellhops to the front desk to the bar and wait staff - all very good. Property is in a great location. Right in the center of it all in Folly. . .on the beach, near the pier and many dining and drinking options.
