The staff was nice and it was a short drive to the boardwalk. It’s a very clean motel with nice staff. Unfortunately our AC wasn’t working properly which made it difficult to sleep at night. We loved the mini golf next door.

The property is a great little spot it's right next to the ocean and a mini golf and it's dog friendly. The room was very disappointing I'll never stay there again maybe only if I have my dog again. It appeared "clean" but by NOT even taking a closer look it was very visible there was what to appeared to be a blood spot on the bed, there was white residue on the head board and there was hair in the shower (appeared to have not been wiped down at all). Not to mention the size of the room was tiny (only a bed could fit) and had a weird smell. We couldn't get the cable working either. For 205$ tax I would expect at least a clean room. The lady at the front was really nice.

The property, while not 5 star, was clean and comfortable. What made our stay the best was the wonderful front desk staff member, Joanna. She exemplified wonderful customer service and was professional yet very kind and considerate. The property has mini golf and water bumper cars across the street and the mini golf was free for guests. Loved it and will book again. Also, this place is pet friendly so next time I can bring my dog which is a huge “yay” for me. Keep up the great work in hospitality Tide’s Inn!!!!
