Lots of parking, staff was very friendly and welcoming on check in, room was recently renovated and it was comfortable and clean. My only hesitation in giving 5 stars is the location so close to busy Island Hwy. I kept the blinds drawn at all times for privacy and to help block out the traffic noise. With only one window, I felt somewhat claustrophobic. Having said this, The Tides Inn was perfect for my one-night stay and I would go back again.

Highly recommend! I was surprise at our room! So spacious, updated. We had a free upgrade to a king bed. Loved that! Perfect for families. Mini golf right next door. Pub a few hundred feet away. Grocery store 5 minute drive. Walk to the water front - 3-4 minute walk. Can’t wait to come back in warmer weather. Staff super friendly. We stay at a lot of hotels and I can sometimes be a little picky. I can’t say enough good things about this motel. Wish we could have stayed longer ♥️
