The Inn at the Tides

The Inn at the Tides

10/10 Excellent
"I really like our room with its patio and view of the bay...no microwave in room was a disappointment but there was one in the laundry room. Most hotels could use a more comfortable chair to sit and watch tv, the chair here just OK. The Tides restaurant where you get the continental breakfast had good food for dinner and happy hour, although the service was disjointed. The continental breakfast was just Ok. But I would definitely recommend this hotel"

Madeira House

10/10 Excellent
"We stayed here for one night. It was lovely. The room was delightful. The best part was waking up and seeing the river in front of the deck we went outside and had our coffee on the deck and sat there for a few hours enjoying this amazing amounts of birds and seals going back-and-forth on the river. We were so happy to have a noon checkout so we could just lollygag and soak up the enjoyment of the space."
