The best thing about the Tidelands is the location. It's close to all of the boardwalk, we wrre in the ocean view room with balcony. So many places to eat, a coffeehouse below or cheaper Dunkin Donuts 2 doors down. The staff is also great. Very friendly and helpful. There are two pools, one with a bar with drinks and a snack. Yes its a bit worn and dated, but that's Ocean City in general. This is our second stay and we plan a third for next year.

When we first checked in, they gave us a room that was not cleaned. Went to front desk and immediately gave us a new room. Staff was friendly, great location.

Tradition

My friends and I come to the beach the weekend after Labor Day every year. We’ve been coming for years. The Thailand’s Caribbean Inn has been a staple for us for years. The price and the amenities are equal, and the stay is always clean and comfortable. the rooms are updated This year. I will say there could be some updating to the parking situation, the hot water, and the condition of the stairwells other than that, I will probably still stay at the tidelands every year!

Have to admit that after reading some of the previous reviews for Tidelands, that I was concerned about my choice of lodging for our family's stay in ocean city. However, Tidelands proved me wrong! The property could use some updating, but it still has character. Our room there was fine and the beds were comfortable. The staff were great!!! They all responded to needs that we had (like additional towels and assistance with a broken bottle). Very personable. We really liked the outdoor pool with the bar that offered tasty drinks. Would definitely stay there again... Thank you Tidelands for helping to make our vacation a good one!

The best part about this hotel is the location. It’s right on the boardwalk and a very easy walk to the beach. The rooms are in need of an update. The mattress was HORRIBLE. We had to request towels three different times in one day and they were finally brought to the room after the third call at 9pm after waiting all day, not to mention when we checked in, they had no towels available and had to bring some to our room once they had some clean. Overall, I expected much more for the price we paid but unfortunately did not have the best experience.

They didn’t give us a room before 4 pm. They didn’t consider I have a kid. I asked them half an hour earlier they said no most of the hotel is checking around 3 o’clock. I went to the other hotels they even give me before that time.

Clean & nice. Only downfall was , I didn’t realize that there are 2 buildings with this hotel. And the building we were in was not directly on the boardwalk. My only complaint is parking. It was impossible to find a parking space. We ended up just paying 50$ to park for the night so we didn’t have to walk far with 2 toddlers.

Great location! Roof top pool and bar was great, beds and pillows were comfortable. Room could have been cleaner. Sand on the floor from the last people who stayed, dirty corners of the rooms and bathroom, dish soap was cheap and ice machine didnt work and had to walk up to the 4th floor to get ice. We used the pull out sofa and it was covered in crumbs and the mattress was stained. We called for housekeeping several times and it took hours for them to get what we needed. Housekeeping carts were in the hall most of the time so we took what we needed and swept our own floors.
