Great location with only a 2 min walk to the Main Street. The room was nice, clean and warm and the staff very friendly and helpful. My only complaint was my room was below the stairs to the second level and I could hear everyone walking up and down the stairs which interrupted my sleep. Avoid room 50 at all costs.

My stay at Tides was comfortable, the staff was helpful and quick to communicate and the room was impeccably clean. The only issue was the garbage bins and toilet bins were not lined with bin bags- though I did make a last minute booking. Excellent location. Overall experience was 9.5/10 Highly recommend.
