Property is a little dated/quirky, and walls are thin. Other than that enjoyed our stay. Bed was comfortable, easy to walk into town.

The Tides Hotel was in a great location. So close to walking to town. Our room was comfortable and clean. We did have a river view but unfortunately with the tide being out, we didn't get to see that.
