Upon check-in i was greeted with a smile by the gentleman behind the counter, and was a very positive interaction. Very welcoming and transparent. The room was extremely clean, as my fiancée and i are what some people may call germaphobe lol so 5 stars there without a doubt. And the property was in a good location to the Tim Snortons and WackDonald’s. even had a nice view of the salmon river on the hillside. They do not allow smoking near the rooms as the air conditioner or open windows and doors wont expel nasty smoke smells into your room, instead they have a nice section for smokers just away from the rooms with a nice seating arrangement with a great sunset view. So they accommodate very well. I would stay again if i am ever in the area. Thanks for taking pride in your establishment and maintaining such a high standard in cleanliness. Very rare today.

We loved it here. The only negative was that the hot water ran out during my husband’s shower. Gorgeous view!

Bill was fantastic. It was like coming home to a long lost relative who was excited to meet us. The hotel was a little bit dated but so are we - we fit right in.

This property is an old "motel" that may be quaint at first glance, but has had little or poor maintenance. The towels are low quality, but serviceable. Molding is often pulling away from the wall and there are service marks (nail, hammer, etc) showing on some of the floor boards. (Poor maintenance skills?) When we checked into our room, the towel rack in the bathroom was hanging loose. I reported it right away, but nothing was done, and we lived with it. The male innkeeper was useless and the female innkeeper, Lisa, was intimidating and threatening because we asked for a clean bathmat. She called us weird and acted like a gulag camp councilor. It's a poorly run dump that I would never recommend to anyone. You don't have enough space here for the whole story...but we couldn't get away too soon this morning. We were threatened enough that I video'd our check out because I fear the female innkeeper may, in mean spiritness, try adding charges for ghost damages, etc. If she does...we will be in touch. Horrible, horrible, unsatisfactory dump.

It was next to where the tidal bore could be seen and it was convenient to the town of Turro for dining.

We recently stayed at the Tidal Bore Inn in Truro for one night, and it was a fantastic experience. The inn is absolutely beautiful, offering a charming atmosphere. The check-in and check-out process was smooth and hassle-free, making our stay even more pleasant. The rooms were cute and cozy, equipped with A/C to ensure comfort regardless of the weather. Every detail seemed thoughtfully considered to enhance the guest experience. I highly recommend the Tidal Bore Inn for anyone looking for a delightful stay in Truro.

this is our second day this summer and like the last time, this was a perfect day. Check-in was fast and easy. The room was clean. They had actually done a lot of exterior painting since we were here last and it looks wonderful. I have very little to complain about because the price is very reasonable and it is well enough maintained good value for a safe and comfortable place to stay while in town.
