Meinungen THE INN AT THE TIDES Bodega Bay

Lovely experience, traveling with a service dog can be frightening with uneducated people but they knew all of the laws and had us sign a waiver stating that we have a service dog not and esa and explaining the ADA Laws!

We stayed here for four nights in early April. The hotel has a wonderful location overlooking the bay, and comfortable rooms which were ideal for two adults and two young kids. The pool and hot tub are fantastic, as is The Tides restaurant which serves tasty breakfasts and some excellent seafood in the evenings. We'll be back.

Always stay here

Unfortunately we spent there only one night and I'm ready to return whenever it's possible. Loved this place, the rooms are spacious and comfortable and the view from the balcony... you can sit there and just watch:)

This place has bats inside the rooms unfortunately and when we asked for a refund after having to leave at 430 am they will not refund beware .. try to avoid Rebecca at the front desk she doesn't how to keep a polite tone when asked about further information regarding my case for a dispute ! Lacking professional skills..

Just came for the weekend, we had never been here before, we were pleasantly surprised! Nice place, the grounds are beautiful and it has a wonderful location. The staff was friendly and informative, really enjoyed our stay.

My husband and I stay here at least 4 times a year. We just love the beautiful grounds, comfortable rooms and the views can’t be beat. The highlight is the gorgeous pool, hot tub as well as sauna available for guests. Bodega Bay is a true gem and the Inn at The Tides is at its epicenter.

Pulled in - while driving up the coast to Jenner - looking for a place for the night and this place was relatively inexpensive - immediately followed through the parking lot by a security gaurd in a white minivan - and literally accosted . Review is for initial impression - which was very , very poor. Poor experience - 0/10. Would not recommend if visiting Sonoma Coast - stay in Jenner instead.

If searching for a place last minute after visiting the Sonoma coast - this is not it ( unless you are open to ill- treatment). Keep your 10/10 day going and either shoot up to Jenner or crash at the Bodega Bay inn.

Beautiful view

Went here again for my Wife's Birthday! We got a really good Winter Rate so we were able to celebrate locally at a good price! It was a stormy rainy night, my wife and I enjoyed the free bottle of wine, YUM. Then we went to the outdoor hot tub and enjoyed the combo of the rain, hot water, and lapping ocean waves! The front desk Lady was so friendly when we checked in. She was very informative about how the Inn works and all the amenities we receive as guests! Good Job Front desk Team! Room was very clean and comfortable! I cant wait to stay here again sometime in the summer! ALSO! Reading the Press democrat (complimentary delivered to your door each morning) and enjoying our free complimentary breakfast at the restaurant in the morning looking out upon the grey sleepy bay and we got to watch a seal playing in the water! Great experience! Cant wait to return!

One of my favorite places to vacation.

Great stay

We stayed one night and it exceeded our expectations. Beautiful view, nice hot tub and heated swimming pool.

Beds need update. But the property is well kept.

Always our first choice when visiting Bodega! Not only is hotel always clean, the restaurant is amazing!

We’ve stayed here often over the years and usually it’s pretty wonderful. When we arrived we were really impressed by the remodeled rooms and the room seemed comfortable. We had a second floor, vaulted ceiling King bed, Bay view room. We arrived 1/1/24. After sundown the room became unbearably cold as we were unable to get the Heat & Glo fireplace or thermostat to work. We called down to the desk two times with no answer. We waited a few minutes, called again and kindly told how to operate the heater - which was turn the thermostat all the way up “to the right”. I informed we did that a few times and still nothing. They quickly agreed send up maintenance- that was about 6:30pm. We grabbed an extra blanket, waited for a few hours and decided to snuggle on the covers around 10pm, to keep warm. No maintenance ever showed to fix the heater. It’s now 6am and it’s freezing. Though I love the upgrade immensely and the cleanliness of the room, I’d rather have heat vs the remodeling. I feel we couldn’t enjoy the room as we typically would due to the cold. I would suggest that they stock extra blankets in the room or a thicker one in case the heater goes out in the winter. This review shouldn’t take away from the fact our encounters with staff were really friendly, just not sure what happened to the maintenance person showing up. We truly value proximity to and from dinner, closeness to a gas station along with the friendly staff we always encounter. For us, the visit was clouded by an uncomfortable, unenjoyable room and that service/maintenance didn’t show to fix as promised.

We loved this place! Can't wait to go back! Everything was perfect!

Perfect little coastal getaway spot

please buy new beds ,

Great location, nice rooms but bed was too hard for us. Other guest were very noisy.

Outdated and in disrepair. The room was not clean. Spider webs, dirt. Bad pillows. HVAC impossible to keep steady or comfortable. Gap on a door causes cold air to flood into the room. Towels had frayed spots and we had to share towels the first night and then they “cleaned” the room and only brought pool towels. We never even bothered because management doesn’t care.
Hot tub BLEACHED and RUINED my swimsuit in 1 night, I follow all care instructions from the manufacturer and talked to their rep, this hotel is greedy and refused to correct the situation. Management does not care. The food here is horrendous, outdated retirement home quality. The management only cares about the bottom line. Ghetto repairs, they obviously do not run this place professionally. They’re riding the coat tails of the location. This place is purely disappointing. A few staff are nice. For the most part is classify this location as actual trash. Seriously disappointing that there are enough unwitting first time visitors with low standards that will pay these rates and keep this place thinking it’s ok to act so sub par.

I recently spent 2 nights at the Inn At The Tides in Bodega, CA. The place has lovely landscaping and wonderful hotel suites. My friend and I stayed in a lovely room with a great view overlooking the Pacific Coast Hwy and the ocean beyond it. The rooms were neat and clean. Plus, the housekeeping staff were exceptional. They not only made the bed each day, but also returned a Kindle I left in the room after leaving! I was able to contact one of the managers, Evelin, at the front desk, who was gracious and kind, and who made sure to find my Kindle and send it back to me. I cannot tell you how important it is to know that there are still responsible, kind, and reliable staff to respond so promptly and kindly to a guest’s needs! I will certainly be coming back to spend many more visits at the Inn At the Tides when visiting Bodega Bay, CA!! Kudos to the Inn At the Tides, and especially, their wonderful staff!
