First, the not so good. If you are a smoker, it won't matter, but the somewhat aged carpeting holds that smell, boy howdy, does it ever! I was there with my dog and took to leaving the door open, sitting just outside. The dog liked lying in the sunny parking lot, just steps from the room. Sitting outside, I became... More

Our room was clean and the owner was friendly. We were allowed to leave our car parked at the motel after the 10:30 checkout so we could enjoy the beach some more. If all you want is a clean motel room close to the beach that costs much less than the big resorts, then High Tide is a good choice.

Booked a room to be close to family that was staying at the Wyndham next door. It is an older motel with some wear and tear (some would call it a "patina"), but if you can get beyond that it is a fine place to stay at the beach. (Those who are used to modern hotel chains or 4-star hotel... More

I highly recommend that you do NOT stay here. It was dirty on the out side with black and green mold around the windows. Looked run down. Could only imagine what it would be like on the inside. I called on Friday and spoke with a man. Explained that we would be arriving Saturday at 4:30p and would need to... More

The High Tide was great for a night on our travels in February. It is a throwback to days gone by - a simple 2 story structure with good size rooms with a small equipped kitchen. I think it would be a good spot to do Myrtle Beach 'on the cheap'. You could cook meals in when you wanted and... More

I have no idea how this hotel got such a good rating. It was not the worst place I have ever stayed but not great at all. There was mold in the bathroom on the ceiling and in the grout. The tile was cracked in the shower area and the faucet was sticking out and had about an inch of... More

Stayed here because of Trip Advisor ratings and most proved true. Ecnomical, clean, but most of all very quaint; like going back many years. Safe, just across the street from the beach. The host will make you fill quite at home, showing you to your room and he is always available to answer any questions. He was also our source... More

I have been staying at the High Tide Motel over 10 years. There is NO other place I would rather be! It is clean, good rates, Norris the manager is a sweet heart and across the street from the beach. If you go to the beach to be at the beach it is for you. I would rather stay here... More

Enjoyed my stay at High Tide and will come again. Across the street from the beach, restaurants close, great place.
