Tides Folly Beach, Charleston's Oceanfront Hotel

Loved the convenience of this hotel! The beach access & pool is a great option. Being walking distance to restaurants & shops is also a plus.

This hotel desperately needs some updates. Only 1 working elevator, subpar cleanliness in the rooms (mold in the bathroom), no exhaust fan in bathrooms, and normal wearing of the years is visible

Sorry to say this Resort is DIRTY and in need of RENOVATIONS. Management/Investors you must reinvest back into your property. Everything needs to be painted, pressure washed, and repaired. The loungers at the pool were ripped, the tile cracked, only 1 elevator has worked for months. This property has so many good features, if the money to remodel would be invested. The rates are high but hotel standards LOW! The Staff work very hard and are courteous and helpful. I felt bad for them, as they realize the hotel is in BAD shape, but out of their control. Staff should be rewarded for handling the complaints with smiles and help. Too Dirty For Me To Ever Return!!!

I have stayed at Tides Folly Beach Hotel three times since Fall 2023, and it has easily become my favorite place for a beach getaway. After my first visit, I returned in Spring 2024 and again in Fall 2025—and I’m already planning another trip this fall. There’s just something special about this hotel. It perfectly captures the beach vibe I’m always looking for, while also meeting my expectations for cleanliness and comfort. What truly sets it apart, though, is the staff—everyone is consistently friendly, welcoming, and helpful, which makes every stay feel even more enjoyable. The location is fantastic, the amenities are great, and the overall experience is always top-notch. I’ve stayed at many resorts over the years, but I really appreciate the simplicity and quaint charm here. It never feels overwhelming—just relaxing and exactly what I need. Another huge plus is that it’s pet-friendly, so I can bring my toy poodle along, which makes the trip even more special. While my family enjoys summer vacations along the Gulf, this is the place I choose when it’s up to me. If I could visit multiple times a year, I absolutely would. I can’t recommend Tides Folly Beach Hotel enough!

We can not stayed there the hotel was in a poor condition, for that price it was incredible they people can stay there, we want to have a reimbursement of the 239 that we paid

It was a disaster, the hotel is a really poor condition, you should take this hotel from booking, we are clients of booking but this time we are disappointed about the experience that we have there, and we only stayed 20 minutes

Staff friendly

Amazed of the number of dogs. A little rowdy at times. Elevator not working
