It was a cozy little room for the two of us. We stayed for one night because we missed the ferry. Staff was friendly, room was clean and the free mini golf game was fun just steps away.

Our room was renovated and was very clean. Our only comments are- only 1 hook to hang towels on and only 1 tiny garbage can in bathroom. Our room was a kitchenette and no garbage in the main unit. Everything else was great.

I had a fall on the stairs at the hotel due to a tripping hazard. I notified two front desk employees, and reached out several times via email to ask about what they could do to rectify the hazard. It has been almost a month with no response, I am quite disappointed. Nobody even asked how I was doing. I have had a great time staying at the Tide’s Inn in the past, but I’m not sure if I will return due to this lack of follow up and attention.

Room was clean, beds were comfortable, tv etc all worked. Close to the beach, but the path down was pretty rough. The free minigolf was great. The staff were great, very friendly and helpful. Cons - parking was an issue if there are too many trucks. People smoking pot by the roadside were annoying, the smell keeps being blown towards the hotel. The room could do with some more clothes hooks and a bigger mirror. But overall, very happy with our stay.

Friendly staff and close to everything. Could use an additional mirror in the room and curtains that don’t cover the AC. Would be nice if rooms were equipped with an iron and iron board.
