I am very displeased with my stay. first out room had problems with the air and we had trouble sleeping due to it. Someone checked the room and it didn't stay working. we finally got another room and then we had issues with out toilet. They phone wasn't working properly in the room either. We stepped out for a little bit and put the do not disturb sign on the door since our wallets and what not were in the room. Someone went into our room and changed out our towels and what not and we didn't want anyone to go in there. I paid a lot of money to stay there and I am not happy with how it happened.

The tidelands was by far the best choice I could make for my Ocean City stay. Accommodations were clean, extremely spacious, and well equipped. I have been a gas multiple times in the past and will continue to be a guest in the future. Everything is walkable that I want to go to and I can usually get an oceanfront room for about half the cost of the competitors!
