Where to begin...we were very excited to get to The Tides after a long day of travel. Upon arrival, valet persons were EXTREMELY rude. He told me to hurry up, fill out the parking form, then had another parking assistant rush me through the building while telling me to have my $$$ ready as they’re getting off in 5mins so I need to hurry up. When getting to the office, the woman didn’t even say hello, took the form from my hand, took my card, swiped it for $75 and handed me the keys. Then asked for a $20 cash deposit for the car’s pass. Pablo met me in that office (he is very nice) & walked back with me to the parking lot to show me where to park. He showed me around the building. Once arriving to our floor, he showed us the laundry room which we then found out is down the hall and not in the actual apartment and also we would have to pay to wash & dry. ($1.85 each) When getting in the apartment, it is a very nice space however smaller than expected. Other Airbnb’s I have been in included coffee, shampoo/conditioner, etc. Do not expect that with this AirBNB. Old towels, broken beach chairs, and one de caffeinated tea bag will be included. I had to request the high chair that I was told would be included but was given an infant booster seat. The play pen was broken. A random man came to the apt and gave us yet another broken playpen that smelled like mildew and smelled like it has been in a basement the last few years. The random man then brought another old play pen that was usable.
I am disappointed with this stay. For the amount we paid, I expected it to be a much better experience and that it would’ve included what I was promised. I would not book this place again for the many visits I have to Hollywood and I would not recommend this place to a friend.
Make sure to not mistakenly park in a valet spot. The valet guy will yell at your grandfather about it and rudely shout “if you’re not handicapped, you don’t park in a handicap spot, right?”
Save your money or spend the extra bit on a nice hotel.
