Wonderful location on the beach. Very good value. Theme park next door for children with pirate themes.

This place is NOT what's advertised online. Absolutely HORRIBLE Do not stay here. Just awful. From 35 minute checkin into NOT the room I booked, could not get money back, dirty, seemed more of a residence for indigent and addicts than a hotel, shower did not work. Can go on and on. Bottom Line: DO NOT STAY HERE

New, “home and family-style” management with friendly attitude. They’re still sorting out details as I had no soap, broken TV but such a great location for this old school motor inn. My room was recently renovated —I like this place and I hope they focus on getting things more professional. The potential is huge. A major capital improvement would make this place very special.

Situated in an absolutely fantastic location on the beach. The interior is adequate for the price but it’s well worth staying there because it’s the waterfront property

The owner was very nice but the arrangements were last minute and I ended up being double booked. Stayed in a room that had someone else’s belongings in it, along with their food and cosmetics, it was very awkward for my family, but we had no choice.

I was over charged when I got there. And this place is dirty. Worst than the pictures they gave on line. Rodents. Just disgusting

got what we paid for. was cheapest option in the area, and was sufficient for what we needed. lock on door was old and hard to figure out to make it work. The staff was responsive to fixing a few issues - needed an extension cord to turn on AC, needed a remote to make cable box work. We paid a small bit extra for a room with kitchenette, but that part was unsatisfactory. Did not even have silverware to use. Cupboards were dirty. No microwave.

The property had hot water, which was the only positive thing I can say about this motel.

Right across from the beach. Had several food options that were close

Great location on the beach

Tide motel...old..shabby The room decor very dated not nice Wi Fi signal very weak. Not usable Morning coffee lobby good bit No muffins..bagel nothing But coffee tea Bathrroom best of all Old...buy clean ..usable Outside sidewalks tricky to walk Broken cement Overall the outside & inside Of this motel looks Poor unattractive run down! Location **good right outside Beach across The Sound ..public beach We took this booking Ist..the photos deceptive And last minute Few** reasonable hotels to Be found anywhere on North Fork areas So please folks Unless desperate*** Stay** away from this Tides Inn hotel..motel Waste of $$ time We are grateful that We stayvhere just one night!!

It quite area the room is nice but need to be repaired and painted.

Absolute dump. No-tell motel. AC and bathroom fans sound like lawnmowers. You won’t be able to sleep. Moldy, damp, a lot of crazy people.They use regular keys. Everything is from 1960s

The service was not very pleasant, I was attended by a very young young woman and she was a bit rude, The entrance to the hotel is super late at 3pm, and you leave at 11am. I missed leaving at 12pm. the hours do not cover what you pay, the bathroom shower was damaged, and the sheets did not smell good. The hours of stay do not really cover the cost you pay.

Needs renovation big time. Everything is old, looks like a motel from the 80' Location is great.

There is not much in the area for hotel choices so this one isn't to bad. But outdated for sure ( still has an actual key for the door lol) Older Tv's but does have cable. Beds were very hard, but we like that. Air conditioner does not work that well. the shower is not very high pressure and the temp changes from very hot to very cold frequently during a shower. Room was relatively clean and the staff were helpful getting us extra linings. Bathroom was large with a big counter and room had a nice and cold mini fridge. Pool was big and refreshing! Conveniently located across from the water and directly next to a mini amusement park. The beach was very rocky not a lot of sandy area.

Cool place. Pretty run down but thats part of the charm. Great place to cheat on your wife with an alchoholic side chick. Bring your own herion and keep to your room is my advice.
