5/5 Excellent
"Very cool place to stay. Near waterfront and market. Friendly, helpful staff. As we were leaving, we mentioned that we were going to Folly Beach. We were told that they have a sister property in Folly Beach and that we could use their pool, beach, parking. We did that and they were so friendly and helpful at Tides too."
