Great location with ocean view but
it was very noisy at night. Also, security in the upper corridors could have been enhanced.

THE place on Folly Beach
I've been to this hotel before. There is just no better location, staff, amenities and value. I highly recommend it. The ONLY (small) weakness is how the restaurant handles dinner with small portions that must be shared. There are entrees, but they're not pushed and you feel a bit odd taking that route. Despite that the food is excellent. The breakfast buffet is super too. You can't do better than Tides on Folly Beach.

Great service
This was the best service we have ever received. The parking attendant was awesome. When we came back in the evening he would move the parking cones and help us park. He could not do enough to help us. Any one who works at this hotel was very pleasant and always wanted to help. The breakfast was not very good however, we went down around 9:30 in the morning and everything was cold. The sterno for the warming pans had burned out and no one started another. I know we were on the downside of breakfast time, but for the price it should have been hot the entire time, we thought.
