We love staying at The Inn at the Tides. We’ve been here several times, just never in winter during a storm. The fireplace keeps the room warm and cozy, when the wind isn’t raging. The view is incredible. The grounds are immaculate. The staff were wonderful and very accommodating. We asked to change our room to one we’ve stayed in before, and they promptly took care of problems when we brought it to their attention.

The wind on the first day was frigid cold and the fireplace could barely keep the room warm. The bathroom was like walking into a freezer. Then in the middle of the night the fireplace went out and didn’t come back on until the next late the morning . We spoke with the manager the next morning and it was fixed while we went to lunch.

The room was large, comfortable, and well appointed with extras including wine glasses, opener, robes, & coffee. Parking was plentiful and easy near our room. The included continental breakfast at the restaurant across the street was generous and the staff were attentive.

I would be nice if they provided filtered water or a water cooler to fill bottles; the tap water taste metallic.

We really like this hotel and pool and have been at least five or six times. It's at the center of Bodega Bay and the restaurant is really good, if a little pricey sometimes. The continental breakfast (included with stay) includes items I highly dislike (granola) but you get 25% off other breakfast items. Pool and spa at good temps, though both were in the sun almost whole day. Followed personal requests (bottom floor, near pool), which was awesome.

We were a little frustrated with the fact that even though we had four people in the room, we were only given three bath towels, two swim towels and two robes and had to request more (though requests arrived quickly). Wish they had towels at the pool as I thought I remembered them having before. Also, keys kept deactivating with very little to make it happen.

I loved the hotel. It was very convenient and clean. Nice little porch to sit outside, and the staff was great.

The Inn is affiliated with the Wharf Restaurant across the street. The food was okay but there was a serious lack of staff. We had problems receiving our bill each of the three times we were there. They lost my credit card for about 10 minutes and kept ringing up the wrong charge on my credit card. Even for the vouchers you get from the Inn for breakfast a manager had to deduct that amount from your bill. If the manager wasn't around, you had to wait till they came back?? Mind you almost everyone has a voucher. The first time we walked in a server was extremely rude, just telling us where the hostess stand was. I truly did not like the restaurant part of this place. The Inn though was very nice.

Jacuzzi, even in the pouring rain, was wonderful. Staff were great. Beautiful views and location. Continental breakfast was mediocre for price paid for room. Needed to walk across the road to the restaurant to access filtered water (tap water tasted funny). Would be great to have at least one filtered water option onsite. Mattresses a little soft as have been stated by other customers. Would come again just to experience the pool in non torrential rain!

The property was absolutely gorgeous. The pool was fantastic, jacuzzi was phenomenal and the staff were amazing. The gift shop, restaurant and little store are great. The view with the meals were exceptional. The vibe in general is very refreshing.

The room was very dated and there were ants. The price was a tad excessive for the actual room but the property was very nice. The “free” breakfast is granola and fruit so we opted to just buy our breakfast. The food was very good. The restaurant is across the street for the “free” breakfast so it’s definitely not your typical hotel (which I enjoyed).

Rooms were clean, basic but roomy. Nice staff, the cows outside the main window were a plus.

I think the TVs in the rooms should be upgraded to smart TVs so guests can use the smart TV apps, or cast shows from their own devices. The restaurant was also not great. Felt like they’ve been doing the same thing for so long, the quality has been neglected.

The value of this property is its location. The grounds are well landscaped and the view of the bay is exceptional. The breakfast included is well prepared and varied. Duraflame logs are provided for rooms with fireplaces. Staff is attentive and friendly, even with Covid restrictions. Room was very clean. We booked an upper story, King room with high ceilings. Some lower story rooms had outside patios.

Though the rooms have been updated through the years, Inn at the Tides is in desperate need of updating. HVAC (actually there's no air-con) is antiquated. Furniture was in need of replacing. TV's are ancient with only one HDMI port. Walls are absent of any art. Our biggest complaint, and what will keep us from booking again, is the horrid WiFi. 5 mbps download, .25 upload. We could barely get email much less stream anything. A 21st century hotel must provide better internet access even if they charge for it.

The view from every room has its own quaint charm. Breakfast was provided via a voucher for the restaurant across the street. Nothing to write home about but not terrible. Would've preferred the breakfast buffet I had experienced at Hale Koa in Waikiki, but you can't have it all. What you can have, is a wonderful upscale fishing town vibe, with a hot tub to melt into and raw oysters that will utterly change the way you experience reality. Have I not made it clear? This is the best place to stay for the money and the experience in this town. Don't forget your wine tasting at Sonoma Coast Vineyards, and if you don't go to Fishetarian for multiple meals, I won't think you actually enjoyed your stay in the the hidden gem that is north of Point Reyes, Bodega Bay.

You can't have it all.

Great room, looked like it was upgraded from years past. Very clean. Great views, beautiful landscaping and wonderful flowers blooming this time of year. People at the Tides restaurant were exceptionally nice. Everyone was accommodating. Breakfast was OK. I don't eat granola and try to eat low carb so rolls were yummy, but all carbs pretty much except fruit. We ordered extras to fill in, bacon and chicken sausages and an omelet one day.

See breakfast above. Maybe a few different options for breakfast since they have the full menu available anyway. Maybe a bagel w/cream cheese and smoked salmon or one poached egg w/hollandaise or a waffle with fruit w/one chicken sausage. Most of us retirees don't eat as much as we used to but would still like something special even if it half of a regular order. Also there is no senior menu which a lot of restaurants have now for a smaller portions. Would rather have a little taste of something yummy than a large plate of carbs that I really don't want to eat.
