Tidelands Caribbean Hotel and Suites

Tidelands Caribbean Hotel and Suites

8/10 Good
"My family and I’s stay was memorable! We absolutely loved the location — if you are all about the location this is the place to be! Ease of parking (that you pay $20/night for) is questionable— first come scenario under the property itself, then one 1/2 street block length on-road parking strip is reserved for guests one block away from the property, and then your final choice seems to be about a mile away heading towards the bay. You don’t want to haul luggage from any of them so plan to unload prior to parking! Finally, cleanliness and state of the rooms.. this took a minute to adjust to. The few is great, the beds too along with their bedding, but the room itself smelled the minute that we opened the door. Initially the smell was almost of cigarette smoke (which I wasn’t getting blamed for!) but as the days went on I was more under the impression that it was more uncontrolled moisture. Next door to a beach I get it! Nobody was allowed to walk around barefoot in the room. Our bathroom felt like it hadn’t been cared for a bit — hair in the corner, outdated sink and vanity, signs of deterioration. There were also super questionable markings on one of the upper walls in the unit as well as on the ceiling. Overall, we made it through just fine, and quite honestly I would even go right back to the same room, but this time I may just bring my own cleaning supplies to start the stay off fresh!"
