Jufer greeted me at the reception desk. He was friendly and very accommodating. My room was clean and it appears like they made several upgrades to an older building. An easy check in and an easy check out. Thank you for the stay, Tide’s Inn!

I was upgraded to a bigger room so that was very nice as it gave me more room to move around. The room are clean and bright, nice bathroom mirror with light and defog feature. I liked the mobile table that neatly tucked under the entertainment table when not in use, and stocked cupboards with plates and utensils, hot plate, fridge, microwave, Keurig machine, and toaster. Very nice!
