Tides Inn at Stehli Beach

The water backed up in the bathroom and the sink. I told management about it before I left. Room #25!

The room was large and clean. I had trouble opening the room, door stuck and the key did not work easily. There was no phone in the room and I did not have service for my cell phone at that location. The TV was not easy to work, I had 1 channel that I was able to access. Really big step up from parking lot curb to side walk in front of my room. Bed was comfortable. Room was quiet. I think the price was a bit high for the accommodation.

Well done good customer service

Super comfortable bed with soft sheets made for a very relaxing night.

A bit rundown. It did the job well. Close to dining. Staff was great. Just needs to tidy up a lot and maintain better. It’s ok that it’s dated; actually kind of liked it, but if you’re going to charge high, you gotta maintain high too. Thanks again!

This property is terrible. No housekeeping, bugs, mold. The police came due to unruly guest. I understand they are new owners, but this place needs a lot of work to be fit for humans. The shower had no light so the shower curtain had to be kept open otherwise it would have been pitch black. Dave, helper, tried but he's not a miracle worker. Wasn't expecting a palace but this was horrible.

This is probably the nicest motel I have ever stayed in. It was clean, in a good spot, and the staff was kind. The outside of the building does look rough and can use a clean-up. There is a lot of garbage in the front and around various corners. My only complaint about the actual room was that it was very hot and the thermostat was broken, they do provide an AC and fan that helps a little. Also, the only shampoo, conditioner, and body wash they put in the room was a 3-in-1 kids' wash and bubble bath. Other than that the beach is right across the street, with plenty of stores, restaurants, and an adventure park. We stayed for a show at UBS arena which is a 40-minute drive from the motel but it was simple and felt much faster. Overall I recommend it!

The Tides Motor Inn Stelhi Beach, Bayville, NY - Thursday, June 13, 2024 This Inn is not as advertised. Pulled in and appeared rundown with peeling paint, not just a little bit, but all over the building. There were cars in the lot that were packed with belongings and one that was stuffed full and broken down on the back of the lot. Walked into the office and noticed handwritten signs posted all over the reception windows about the various fees, including a per person/per day fee to use the pool and a notification that extended stay is limited to 28 consecutive days. Fees that are not noted on the website. A poorly written Guest Notification was given to us with instructions on how to access WIFI and the TV remote. Received only one key even though there were two of us. Pulled around to park and noticed a large group of people sitting around in steel folding chairs in front of their unit as well as people yelling in the parking lot. Approached our unit (#50) and the door did not appear sturdy and there was a gap between the door and the frame; something the security chain could not contain if someone forced their way through that door and evidence that the door had been previously pried open. Upon entry, the curtains were broken and held down by a rope. We did not feel comfortable with the security to stay and leave our car overnight. We returned the key to the desk and asked, despite no refund policy, would they reconsider. The desk person said there are no refunds. She then asked her manager and came back with, ‘We can offer you a bigger room’ We declined as that would not address our security concerns.
