Very pleased with our 2 night stay. Very comfortable room with a lovely view of Bodega Bay. Housekeeping staff were very attentive. The pool, hot tub and sauna are a huge plus. As others have mentioned, the continental breakfast is basic but does the trick. Would be nice if they offered just muffins, boiled eggs and coffee and tea in the main office rather than a whole sit down affair across the highway. Other than that, very pleased and will return.

This is a beautiful and peaceful property. It is designed for relaxation with beautiful sunsets and views of the bay. There is a pool, fitness room, sauna, and hot tub. A gorgeous restaurant is across the street and built above the water. You are sure to enjoy Inn at the Tides.

It was quiet and neat. Had a beautiful view for the harbor. Some good hiking around the area, relatively close to Fort Ross. Staff was friendly and inviting. Rooms were nice and clean.

Location was ideal for the places we wanted to visit. Our overall stay was pleasant. The 4 PM check in time should be changed to 3PM. It would have been better if they had rooms with a King and Queen Beds rather than a King with a sofa bed. The free continental breakfast is meager which we skipped and chose a regular discounted breakfast at the Tides, but the quality was like a standard continental lobby breakfast. The treadmill I hoped to get a workout on did not go past 1mph.

Restful with Views

Lovely views. Comfortable beds. The gas fireplace, which provides the heat, contributed nice ambiance. Broken blinds in the primary picture window and a disappointing dinner at the hotel’s The Tides restaurant were the weak links to an otherwise lovely three night stay.

Best place to stay in Bodega Bay. We had super noisy neighbors (two toddlers in a single queen room) but Hotel Management handled this well. Would definitely stay again
