Well what can I say. It is 3 stars. My friends and I came for the night, last minute, and well it isn't The Grand. There is a musty smell but that doesn't mean it is bad. We got up to our room and were surprised. It is large and tiled. However, the condensation from the AC left the floor slippery and wet and there was sand in the floor. No biggie we wiped it up and left for an evening of fun. However we returned and there was a nasty bag of trash in front our door (which wasn't ours), the floor was soaking wet (worse than before we left), even the beds felt moist. The pillows are paper thin and

Upon arriving we were shocked to see how much of a disrepair this place was in. Check in was easy. Our room key card didn’t work, so down stairs my daughter had to go. Our room was in big need of updates, with broken furniture, pillows flat as pancakes, although they did have soaps, shampoo, conditioner, paper towels, dish liquid and makeup remover wipes. Sliding door had no lock and the inside door had no chain lock on it. Stopped at front desk and with an hour both locks were fixed. Air in room worked great. Went to take a shower and no hot water, had to call front desk after taking a cold

For starters the TV didn't work only used it once while packing up and the bathroom needs simple updating; had children with me on this trip they constantly need help with the faucet. The room was nice and clean the hallways seemed to be getting some work done. The lobby area has a smell to it. Conveniently on the boardwalk and the bed was definitely good firm not rock hard.

Room was nice except the morning crew at 8 am was next door so no sleeping in plus the bar was just outside and it was loud all day into the night. Drinks were good but expensive. One of the bartenders seemed drunk or high. Pool was crowded with kids. I did not go in because I saw diapers in the water um gross.

First let me say every staff person we encountered was very kind & pleasant. We had a pleasant stay. We stayed in a king suite, it met our needs w 3 college students, some over 21. Now I want to say, this hotel has so much potential if the owners invested $$ back into facility. The facility is old. Deserately needs upgrading.

Disgusting!!!!! The tile floors were sticky. None of us walked barefoot on the tiles. There was a ROACH in the sink. There were ants all over the place. I even found an ant on my bed. The entire place just looked nasty. The balcony was corroding and had green algae all over it. The furniture had dust all over it. I stayed one night and after I saw the roach in the sink, I left. Cut our vacation short and just went home.

This place was AMAZING! The bar and grill food was wonderful, room was nice and clean, staff was all friendly, pools were nice, and everything was super convenient to get to. Our teenagers had a blast walking the boardwalk at night! I would definitely recommend. I have seen a lot of bad reviews and i just think people are WAY to picky! This hotel was very nice.

Do not stay here! This place is a safety hazard. There's only one elevator in the building. It safety inspection expired over 10 months ago! The stairs are not an exclusive option because the let out to the sidewalk and the door locks from the outside. I went down the stairs and the railing actually fell off in my hand. The fold out couch was a joke. It was so old, broken and dirty. The room was gross at check in. There was even sand in the stove range. The bathtub had a dingy mat at the bottom that should have been tossed long ago. Also, good luck taking a relaxing shower since a high

Great location right on the boardwalk and showers were good however there was no cleaning service available. You had to make a request each day and if you are lucky you "may" get one that day. We got cleaners only once during our week long stay . Lighting in the rooms was bad. Parking is a big issue as well - they don't have enough parking, we had to park 5 street away for first couple nights.

The most honest review:
My husband and I stayed at this hotel with our two children in the beginning of June. Overall I'm not sure if I would stay here again with so many other options, here's why....
The Hotel: Perfect location, with easy check in and friendly/helpful front desk staff. Parking was convenient if you can get a spot under the hotel, otherwise it's a few blocks to the "overflow" lot. Some hallways had a slightly musty smell, as if someone left wet towels on the carpet. However, being at the beach, how "dry" can things actually be? Not a deal breaker

This is an awesome hotel with great professional friendly staff. It was clean and I will return back to it and I would encourage anyone to try it. Especially the employee by the name of Candace. She was really great and helpful and made sure that everyone was happy. Candace is a great asset to the hotel. Employees were great as well too. Great job. Keep up the great work thank you

Wow, they ask for a lot of money for a horrible room. The room smelled awful, and was dirty. Stay elsewhere else, believe me...
The doors don't open properly, and stick making a loud noise trying to open them. The bathtub drain was clogged, so if it was cleaned properly, the maid would have known.
Garbage on the deck, windows filthy (so much for an ocean view).
I'll stay bayside before booking at this s#!+ hole ever again.
Be warned, I made the mistake of not checking the reviews.

Turn around and run away!!!! I totally understand COVID but because of COVID they never cleaned our room. (My sister stayed at the hotel right nexts to us and they gave the option for cleaning when she was out for a few hours). It was so gross The sand was everywhere.
Only ONE PERSON AT THE DESK WORE A MASK!!! (Signs everywhere saying no mask no service FOR REAL listen to your own state rules) I wear a mask to keep everyone safe!!
I am sure they is some type of rule that a hotel must have running elevator for the handicap right??? Well my mother had to buy another hotel room at a different place

I made a spontaneous decision to take my kids to Ocean city a few days before Memorial Day weekend. I knew I wanted to stay at a beachfront hotel but I had no clue which one to choose. After a few minutes of reading reviews and looking at pictures online I chose Tidelands Caribbean hotel & suites, and I'm so glad I did. I admit I was nervous & didn't know what to expect staying at a hotel during a pandemic, but the front desk staff did a wonderful job at calming my fears. They were very honest about the current conditions at the hotel and the OC beach rules. They provided me with

My In-laws have been coming here for over 10 years or so and this was the first time my husband and I came with them. The rooms are great but the room service ( housekeeping) are terrible or maybe it was the first desk problem, but we called At 8am for each towels And washcloths,'we didn't get them til about 3pm! Terrible management and terrible housekeeping job! Housekeeping at any other plan would've been done by 12noon and we didn't get our room cleaned til about 4 or 5 pm! I don't think we'll book here again!

I will start with the couple positives. Location was fabulous. Right on the boardwalk in the heart of everything so we realize that's what we were paying for. The room size was also exceptional. We had a room with two kings, one being in a bedroom (but no door), a small kitchenette in the center and another room with a king bed, table and sofa bed.
Being used to run down shore hotels, we really aren't overly picky. But for $250 a night we would at least like it to be moderately clean. That's where the Tidelands failed epically. The floors are just filthy. I didn't even want

Worst hotel EVER. The girl at the front desk was not nice at all. The room was extremely pricy. We expected a nice but simple hotel and it was extremely disappointing. Stains on the sheets, filthy floors and bathroom. The only good thing about this hotel was the location.
The swimming pool was dirty and dangerous with pieces of broken ceramic tiles. The toilets of the swimming pool had blood on the door and the sink did not work.
Health department should definitely do something.

I booked two nights during a particularly busy weekend, out of desperation. I decided it would be fun to take my son to the air show and picked this location based on where the planes would fly. I can't believe I didn't check the yelp reviews before booking and relied on Travelocity reviews alone - I am no rookie! I'm still not going to read them because I'm afraid of what I might read and I still have another night).
Location is excellent if you have kids. This is the ONLY thing this place has going for it.
The check-in was smooth. The hallways leading to the room are representative

My wife and I had an awesome anniversary getaway in our Ocean Front Efficiency room. What I was willing to pay for was the "Ocean Front" and this room absolutely did not disappoint in that aspect. We were given a corner room and had spectacular views of the ocean and boardwalk. We spent so many hours sitting on the balcony and enjoying everything the views had to offer. It was especially neat to be close to the Kite Loft and watch them put up their kites every day. 10/10 for the view
The room and hotel were I think what you'd expect from most older buildings near the ocean. You
