Beach view was great. Staff was friendly. I was not aware of the extra for parking because we didn't have to pay extra 2 years ago when we stayed so that was a bummer. I also thought, like most motels, there would be a blow dryer so I didn't bring mine so it was a hat on my head most of the time.

The view was absolutely stunning, the location was second to none. The room was huge! A whole kitchen even included. You could hear the upstairs guests, but it is an old hotel, to be expected. A fan would be beneficial to circulate the cool air better. I will stay again, zero complaints!

We really enjoyed our stay at Riptide. It’s an outdated building but is kept up well. Check in was a breeze! I was even given a quick tour. The coffee window is quite nice for morning coffee. The amenities are great including beach chairs etc. Would love to stay here again.

Right on the/direct access to beach/boardwalk……..we were only there one night so did not use the cooktop/kitchenette area……overall our room was clean……no headboards on the beds so pillows kept falling between bed and wall….bathroom was extremely small and the ventilation was not the best……not sure I would book again for more than one night

Live music most of the day and night was a plus! Loved the tiki bar and the fact that we could hang right outside of our room on the patio with tables. Coffee bar right onsite, too. Beautiful view of ocean and easy access to beach. Rooms are dated with no frills but the other pluses make up for it.

Location is unbeatable. The rooms are clean. We had an issue with our toilet, but maintenance came within 10 minutes and fixed the problem. We really enjoyed the tiki bar and the live music! It made for a fun vacation and great vibe!

We had a great beach view! We arrived very early but Front desk staff held our luggage for us while we sat at the tiki bar and waited for room to be ready. They had room ready for us by 1pm. Will be back.
