We wanted to stay near Siesta Key, but found that the prices were really expensive. We ended up paying less than half the going rate staying at Tides Inn Motel. It was ~3/4 mile from the beach, and 3 miles from all of the bars and the main area of Siesta Key. We rode our bikes to the beaches and bars, and had a BLAST! The view of the Motel from the road isn't that great, but the furnishings, tile flooring, and spacious rooms were great! We will definitely use them again for out next trip to Siesta Key! Save your money and stay here!

Well, I do have to say this was quite an experience to say the least. I can't even say we got what we paid for, because we didn't. We paid $75 for 3 extension cords and a dirty floor. The pool was very nice, but we didn't use it. Seems like a family oriented Motel, (The owners family). Needs quite a bit fixing up and a good cleaning. Great location.

My husband, his brother and sister-in-law and I stayed over this past week-end. The room we all shared, had very few electrical outlets (only 2 we found, and they were used by extention cords) and most everything including the air conditioner and television was plugged into with the extention cords. The room had a foul oder, and there was some pretty strange looking people there ( i believe some family members of the owner and some construction workers) all in all we were not only dissatisfied, but it was pretty frighting. the room was not real clean and one of the beds had a sheet with a bood stain on it. I would never stay there again!

We stay at the Tides Inn on June 24th 2006. This motel is really old. They have weekly rates and wierd people hanging around the place. The pool is nice but the rooms are really worn out. The fridge missed its handle and was all rusty, the AC smells bad and we had to get on our knee to wash our hair. On the bright side, the motel has a good location, minutes away form siesta key, you can even walk there. We payed $75+tax for a single queen. If you decide to go there anyway, ask a room away from the road. This motel is cheap, almost clean and well located but overall, don't expect much.
