Best thing was that we had 2 King beds and a pull out sofa. Beds were good, but sofa bed was hard. We had to take 2 cars for family, but could only park one on property. Plus they charged 19.99 per day to park car. Refrigerator was falling apart, but we would stay here again because of the proximity to everything.

There was mold in our room… made both my fiancé and I sick…. Didn’t realize it was there until we woke up the next more. However, I reached out to management and they got back to us in a timely manner and was very helpful and apologetic for it and gave us a full refund with no issues. She promised to search the room we stayed in after it was treated and treat all rooms around it. Overall the stay made me sick but the manager did everything she could after they were made aware of the issue.

Paying $400 a night, I expected so much better. Pool bar was nice and (most) staff were very friendly. One night we were getting an Uber, and a man with a blower working (possibly mgmt) was very helpful we got in the right uber. Bar tender was very accommodating to what we wanted. Our pool suite had bars around it
so we couldn’t go out to pool, had to take a long maze to get there… lol. Bed was fairly comfortable and rooms were spacious.
From the pool you can also view the beach through two hotels. You are close to beach and boardwalk.

Major Negatives: Room and bathroom floor were filthy. Bed skirt was coming off bed. Towels were old, dinghy and smelled like smoke. Couch had a huge white stain on it and was held up by blocks. Curtain had a huge red stain on it.
There needs to be a lot of updating. Everything looked old, smelled moldy, and the staff cleaning did not look happy…

I would not recommend this place to stay.

The rooms are very old and dated. Sink was cracked and falling apart and walls and ceilings were dirty and stained. Mattresses had stains especially the couch bed. Hallway carpets stained and old. Really needs updating. But it was right in the boardwalk and staff was great. 2nd floor pool was pretty good with the bar and grill. Reasonably priced food such as $8 mozzarella sticks. It’s kind of what all of the old hotels are at the beach. Pretty dated. No recent remodels.

I was charged $40 per car I had 2 so $80 for parking that could not accommodate my parking they have lots everywhere with a car to bring you back to the hotel after you finally found a parking spot!!!!! We was on the 4th floor we had 2 rooms so my mom and mother in law was in one room!! Last night they had water coming through the ceiling made my mother in law suitcase all wet and her clothes!!! I went to the desk to complain about the parking and the water from the ceiling all they said was to talk to the manager in the morning!!!! The floors in the rooms are very slippery!!!! For the price of the room and what they charge for parking do some upgrades to make it better!!!! I will NOT stay here again and don’t recommend it at all!!!! Only 1 elevator for all the rooms and the line was always long to get back to your room and small as well !!!! Not happy at all I should have gotten some kind of a refund!!!!!

Location is good. On boardwalk, but suite rooms need updated for the price. Hallways smelled terrible, stained carpets. Room was spacious but cabinets peeling, sofa was a bit ratty but functional. Jets in tube have never been cleaned. Pools were clean and well maintained. Room was not cleaned once in five days stay but had fresh towels delivered daily.

Room was dirty and needs lots of upgrades. Bathroom toilet and shower were ready to fall in. Our stove burners in our room didn’t work reported it to front desk and nothing was done. Ice machine on the floor didn’t work. Only one floor had a working one. Very loud building makes it hard to sleep they have quiet hours from 10 pm to 8 am but it’s not enforced so no one respects it. Pool signs all state that the pool opens at 10 it never opened will 1. Staff at the pool bar are not very friendly and seem to not know what’s going on. Location is great and the second pool on the roof top was great but mostly likely will not stay again.

Overall, this hotel was exactly what I expected. The rooms are definitely dated and could use some updating, but they were clean enough and provided a comfortable place to rest after a long day. The staff was friendly, helpful, and accommodating throughout our stay, which made a positive difference. The pool area was also clean and well maintained. If you're looking for a luxury hotel, this probably isn't it, but if you want an affordable place to sleep with good service, it gets the job done.

We very much enjoyed our stay. The only downfalls were: The tile floor is beyond slippery so you have to be very careful. When we asked for a new towels it seemed to be a little bit of an issue as well as trash bags. The room was not cleaned during our stay. Great location though! I think the price point was excellent. We were near the elevator so it would get noisy in the middle of the night but I can't hold that against them. Parking is definitely tight but again that's in most places in Ocean City. We will definitely return.

I had a reservation from July 17–20, and unfortunately, my stay was extremely disappointing.

When we arrived on Friday, it took us about 45 minutes just to find a parking space, which was a frustrating start to our vacation.

Once we entered the room, we immediately noticed a strong, unpleasant odor. As we looked around, it became clear that the room had not been properly cleaned. The floors were dirty with visible debris throughout the room, and there was hair left in the bathroom, suggesting it had not been properly sanitized before our arrival. The bedding had visible stains, the bathroom sink was clogged, and the kitchenette countertops were stained, with crumbs and residue still left on the stovetop. Even the balcony was covered in ash and other debris, making it unusable.

The most concerning issue was the bathtub. Its surface was peeling, and it noticeably flexed and sank while standing in the shower. This created what appeared to be a potential slip-and-fall or structural safety hazard and made using the shower feel unsafe.

Overall, the condition of the room fell far below acceptable standards for cleanliness, maintenance, and guest safety. This experience did not reflect the quality we expected, and I hope management takes these concerns seriously and makes the necessary improvements so future guests do not encounter the same issues.

The property was nice and location was great. Now the downside was the parking. At one point I had to park a block and a half away. But what bothers me the most they was going around parking lots and putting letters on cars that was not supposed to be parking there because they was not staying on premises. They was warning them they would be towed. So the next morning the vehicles were still there with the letters. So I had to walk another two and a half blocks to my car. Most places would have had the cars towed so paying customers would have a place to park. Bit this was my biggest gripe the rest of the property was great.

Beware! The hotel charges $20 per night extra for parking and there are not enough spots for all guests!! Luckily, I found a close spot, but then didn’t drive anywhere. Huge downside! Also unruly kids were running up and down the halls banging on doors in the middle of the night. The rooms could use an upgrade. On the positive side, the location is great as well as the two pools and poolside bar. All staff were super nice too!

We stayed in the suite room on the third floor. Hallway stank to high heaven. The carpet was filthy! As soon as we walked into the room it was very musty. Black mold in the bathroom! Only nice about this place was the pool and bar. This place has gone down hill big time. I can go on on on but you get the picture!! When you spend close to $1,500 for five days and than an extra $100 for parking. This place should be spotless.

Room was clean, needs a little maintenance in the bathroom and balcony. Staff was friendly. Beach view is great, right on the boardwalk. Kitchen area very small, but doable . Linens were clean and in good condition. Parking is a problem, and now they charge $20 dollars a day to park for the hotel. Only 1 elevator in the front building for 5 floors and it is very slow.

They make you pay $20 a night for parking at the hotel. They say it's because they got rid of the resort fee. The only problem with that is it's more expensive than the resort fee was. Also, I didn't know about the \"parking fee\" till I arrived to check in.

Cons:

Insects throughout the room

Dead bugs on bed upon arrival

Tub and shower looked like it wasn’t clean

Rusting on boarders and on bathroom walls

Off white looked like heavy use of towels

When we cleaned the tile floor with a Swiffer mop the floors were very dirty. We used 3 of the swiffer cloths to clean the floors (this was for 1 room)

No do not disturb signs

No peep holes in doors

Slow to check in, multiple people behind desk but not helping

We had to pay $40 for parking for the price of the room parking should have been included.
We paid $1510 for 2 rooms for 2 nights.

Workers should be mindful of the customer service provided. How they speak, body language, facial expressions. I have worked customer service and my husband does as well (law enforcement). When we went to the pool and sat the tables surrounding the pool. We waited 20 mins while servers were walking by not taking our order. We got up and went to order directly from the bar. When we were ordering we were getting looks and energy from the bartenders that were not right. We are black and at that time we were the only black people at the pool. We were treated differently in a manner that I believe was influenced by racial bias.


Pros:

On the boardwalk

Has tile floor

The location was great as were the pools.
We had an ocean view suite which was spacious. The bathroom was absolutely disgusting. There was a hole in the door, water stained ceilings, rust around the faucets, moldly areas through out the bathroom and the toilet seat was broken which we notified the front desk immediately. They said it would be taken care of, 4 days passed and nothing. By day 2 the garbage can was over flowing with trash. No housekeeping the entire stay. We did get a knock at the door and handed towels once because they overheard us talking as they were walking by. When I arrived home I realized I had left my tablet there, again contacted them. Front desk said they had it and would ship it. 9 days have passed, I've called 5 times only to repeat my information and be told they would ship it. (I'm only 6 hours away) at this point I'm losing hope.
Parking was horrible as well.They have an over flow lot across the street with a sign for Tidelands customers. It is not monitored and the public uses the lot. You get charged an extra 20.00 a day when you arrive for Parking and it's impossible to find a spot. After driving in circles for almost an hour, I ended up parking in the public lot and paid for parking.
I do have pictures but there's no way to share them.
With so much competition and hotels on the boardwalk you would think they would be on top of things. 1400.00 for 3 days wasted.
I will only recommend to NOT choose this hotel.

When we checked in toilet paper was empty and no extra rolls. Staff gave us an attitude when we asked for a roll of toilet paper. Our room was only cleaned one time within the week even though we asked them to. Had to track them down every time we needed clean towels, soap, toilet paper etc. The room was not the same as the pictures. Outdated, rusted appliances, broken countertops.

Had to wait for room to be cleaned. Yet when I arrived, there was a bar of used soap in the bathroom and hair in the bath tub . The sheets felt Sandy. Stains on the sheets and bed cover. Called for new sheets and they provided a new set and comforter . Nice staff . Great location but rooms def not the cleanest. Had to pay for parking. Parking is tight but they do offer additional parking across the street. Would try somewhere else next year.

The towels were dirty with stains on them. Even when asked for new towels it was the same. The cleaning person took them out of a cart. I wasn't sure if they were dirty towels given to me. The floor when entering the room was very sticky. I've been here plenty of time just not on a holiday weekend. It was not clean. Pool had bugs and hair floating in it, where we didn't even want to swim.
The view from the balcony was great The staff were nice.

The property itself is a nice place to stay with all the mention amenities and 2 pools to choose from… The ocean front were spacious enough for a stay of 3 people.
The only set back was only having 1 elevator… But not a deal breaker.

I loved the convenience and the size of the suite. It was a little outdated, but had everything we needed. Unfortunately, I found out my hair dryer didn't work and they didn't provide a freestyle. I had to wait for maintenance to install a new. They did replace it within the day. Staff should check these items weekly. The dryer was actually rusted and the cord cracked and split.
I had to pick up towels 2x. Staff was very helpful giving them to me. I had to ask for coffee cups and coffee wasn't refilled one day, but I went to Dunkin.
We did enjoy the pools, very nice. Very convenient to the beach also. I was surprised that I had to pay for parking, but never had to move my car. Everything is convenient.
My granddaughter loved the spa tub. I was nervous about using it because of cleanliness, but the water from the jets was clean. I hope they clean them often.
We hope to return again! My kids loved their stay!

Pleasant helpful staff, We had one of the suites, the amenities were good, the bed skirting was a pain because it wasn't fitting around the beds good, the roll out sofa bed could use a vacuum to get the sand ect. out of it. The parking sucked because if you left to drive anywhere your chances of getting a spot on sight were slim. The Hook Up on 2nd floor of the suites building was great the food and drinks and staff there were great. Over all it was a really good experience there.

We loved the suit setup at Tidelands. It gave some privacy with the beds being separated, but still allowed us all to talk and spend time together. The decore was pretty typical OC a little outdated and worn, but the room was clean and comfortable. It took a minute to find the main check in desk, since it was in a different building than our room. The staff was helpful with the various parking locations. Buoy will have to pay extra for parking when you arrive. The pool is small but it’s a fun area to hangout with the bar there. Overall a nice place and a fun visit.

The room and hallways smelt like mildew. Our room by the refrigerator smelt like someone threw up. The floors in the room were dirty. The tub had mold and didn't drain while taking a shower. No wash clothes in the bathroom. 1 roll of toilet paper, and an old used one on the roller. So much money spent and was really poor quality.

We booked a room for 6 and they only offered one parking spot and had to speak to manager to even get a second spot which we pay for. The one guy told us the room wasn’t ready and then it actually was. We selected ocean view room and it wasn’t ocean view. They said that ocean view is a side view. The descriptions online were very poor and not accurate at all. They refused to help with maintenance issues. It just wasn’t good overall. Do not recommend staying here. I

1. **Parking**: I was surprised to find a $20 daily charge for parking that was not disclosed in my reservation. This fee did not apply during my stay last year, and I believe it should have been communicated up front.

2. **Room Issues**: I encountered several problems during my stay: two electrical plugs are not functioning, the Jacuzzi is out of order, and the mini fridge is not working properly. Additionally, the light in the first room is also not operational. I reported these concerns, but have seen no action taken to resolve them.

The only good thing about this place is the location. This hotel has ONE elevator! There was always a long line to stand in to get to it, and if there were stairs, we couldn’t find them! The room was very outdated and the bathroom was disguising. The tub was weirdly warped and my mother had to sit on the side of the tub and wash rather than stand and risk a fall. The air conditioning didn’t work very well which made sleeping very difficult.

The hotel and rooms could use some updating. Our room had a jetted tub but the was soft, it felt like you could fall through. The little refrigerator didn’t get too cold it worked enough to keep our food from spoiling. This hotel is right on the board walk and steps from sand. I would stay there again because of the location

Check in was at 4:00 and we arrived shortly after that to find a lobby full of people who were obviously annoyed and some were yelling loudly. The internet was out (which understandably does happen) which was forcing guests to pay cash or wait until the internet was back up to check in (no reasonable time was given when this was expected to happen) Luckily we had cash and proceeded to be able to check in. The next 20 minutes were spent counting and recounting the cash they had asked for several times and then being approached by an employee named Ford who was quite frankly the rudest human. He informed me that the person checking me in didn’t speak good English and didn’t know how to count currency. (His words not mine). He then expressed to me that I was being rude by helping to count the currency. At this point I just wanted to check in as it had been a long travel day. I was finally given keys, told no smoking for vaping in the room and we headed to the room. The room was extremely disappointing as it was dirty and worn (including water damage throughout the ceiling). On a normal stay at a hotel I would have called to make management aware but after what I had just experienced I wasn’t even going to bother. The next day we were on our balcony smoking (again had been verbally told we couldn’t smoke in the room, no mention of the balcony) when Ford appeared on the street level screaming up to our balcony that we were receiving a $350 fine! I proceed to go

One elevator for 500 rooms is crazy then u can’t use the steps half the time because they lock them.good luck if paid to park it seems they don’t check for passes and nobody leave the spots that are full most the staff park there too so paid parking is a joke. The pool area was so gross dirty diapers laying around no dry towel. All of them were just laying around the pool area and gym and the gym omg why out a gym next to the pool everything was socked in the gym.the ONLY staff that told ANY kind of info was the black dude with the thing on his ear the rest of the staff was a joke. The food at the hook is disgust just plan gross no flavor and just bland. The only good thing about this location is probably just the location. Also I asked for ocean front and they considered the side by hooters “ocean front” u can’t even see the ocean for real because your on the side of the building and the balcony is so small u can’t see over the railings when sitting down.our room was dirty blood on the bed and trash all over the floors also the tv was broken so was the blinds

Though Tideland have their own parking lot I did not realize until shortly before arriving they charge $20 a day for parking.
A/C and TV were troublesome most of our stay.
When asked about A/C maintenance installed a portable A/C unit in our room.
Tideland was waiting for cable provider to repair cable.
Needed to ask to freshen the room.
Staff was incredibly accommodating to needs
I would not stay at this hotel again.

0/10 — Do Not Recommend This was one of the worst hotel experiences I’ve had. The staff were disrespectful, and I received conflicting answers from different employees whenever I had questions. We were told we could have 2 parking passes only to get there and say they never said that. Then we called to have a family member check in ahead of us, gave them their info only for my family to get there 3 hours before me and they refused to check them in, again saying “I don’t know who told you that.” The room itself had multiple maintenance issues, including a broken door that had to be slammed to even close, a bathtub drain that wouldn’t stay open (we had to prop it up with something just to use the tub), and water that was either scalding hot or freezing cold with no in-between. Customer service was equally disappointing. Over a 3 day stay, I called several times for towels and trash bags, I had to track down a housekeeper to get them myself because no one answered our requests. Between the poor and downright disrespectful customer service, lack of communication, and numerous room issues, this stay was extremely frustrating. I would not stay here again and cannot recommend this hotel to others.

Arrived and couldn't check in and your early because the room was being cleaned, so we went to eat. Finally checked in and the floor was sticky, stuff left in drawers, mold in the tub, pull out couch mattress was something you'd see int a true crime documentary. Staff was friendly though, and mostly helpful. Its an old hotel, so i didn't expect perfection, but a vent fan in the bathroom would solve some issues I'm sure. The pools and the hookup bar restaurant were nice though. 5/10. Probably wouldn't stay there again just based on the bathroom mold issues I saw, especially with two young children.

I paid nearly $1,000 for this stay and was very disappointed. When I checked in, the room had a strong moldy odor and what appeared to be moisture damage. I reported the issue immediately, but I was told there were no other rooms available. I contacted Hotels.com and spent hours trying to get assistance, but no meaningful solution was provided that night. I ultimately had to sleep with the window open because of the odor. My vacation was significantly disrupted, and I lost valuable time dealing with this issue instead of enjoying my stay. I hope the hotel thoroughly inspects this room and addresses any moisture or mold-related problems to protect future guests.

Hotel room was pretty clean. My biggest issue was the staff the third day we ran out of towels and we asked all around, but there was no towels available. Another big issue was the room service. They would aggressively knock every morning around 11 AM after the first day we added the do not disturb to our door, but that still didn’t stop them from knocking…
