WONDERFUL!!!
Pros:

We absolutely fell in love with the view and surroundings of this Inn. VERY relaxing. Deck fantastic. Our room was very nice. The hot tub and pool were great. We thoroughly enjoyed our couple of days; and, wished for more. The Staff was amazing!

Cons:

The pillows were just a little too hard. The mattress was slightly aging nevertheless comfortable. We could have used some cushions for the two outdoor chairs.

Cons:

Our 2 night stay was a bit pricy but it was a holiday weekend.

Overpriced for the services provided
Pros:

The location, the view, the tranquility, and the cosy atmosphere of the room. The swimming pool and its easy access.

Cons:

The lack of the bed comfort and the worn condition of the bathroom (stains on the wall, faulty faucet).
Guests must leave the hotel to get a continental breakfast 200 meters away. The breakfast served at the table is very limited, with an extra charge for eggs, bacon and dairy products. Butter and jam are provided, but no toast or bread slices are available.

A room with a view
Pros:

Beautiful property. I’m sorry my stay was so short (1 night). Check in was quick and pleasant. The room (upstairs, no elevator) was large and spacious and looked like it was recently renovated. I had an expansive view of the pool but more importantly, the bay. Dinner was halibut with the best lemon sauce across the street. Breakfast, the next morning was at the same place. They have a complimentary continental breakfast included in my stay. They serve it to you table side. It was a bowl of granola/milk, a bowl of fruit and a muffin and a croissant. If you ordered off the menu, you received 25% off. I’d stay here again.

PARFAIT
Pros:

Génial, que dire de plus, chambre spacieuse, parking gratuit, une laverie en libre service pour 2$ / par machine a laver et idem pour les sèches linges. Piscine et jacuzzi, literie confortable, propreté.... le petit déjeuner continental au restaurant "the tides" fait partie de l'hôtel donc ce petit déjeuner comprends une coupelle de fruits coupés, un muffin, un croissant, un bol de céréales avec un mini pichet de lait froid, un jus de fruits, une boisson chaude. Ha le petit plus qui fait la différence c'est le chauffage qui est une cheminée automatique qui s'enclenche sur le clavier au mur si on monte la température.

Cons:

Rien

One of my go-to places at Bodega Bay
Pros:

Whenever we come to Bodega Bay we go to The Tides restaurant, but this time we stayed at the Tides Inn. We were very lucky to get a Double Queen room 1203 —spacious room with a nice view.

Wonderful pool!
Pros:

Lovely experience at the Inn at the Tides. Room was very clean, if a little dated, but loved the rustic cabin feel. The pool and hot tub were fantastic and clean and well maintained. Staff were friendly and helpful. Will definitely come again!
