ザ・タイドズ・イン

Ok. I am remembering the Parksville of the 1970s, it was a charming place and time. Now flash forward. This is an older property which would have been around then and refurbished over the years. It was expensive, but having just traveled through the UK, I thought it was on par with the smaller hotels in London. The staff were really good and efficient on check in. The room was very small with some interesting choices for wall and light switch placement. The wall paper was new as was the toilet and sink fixtures. It was all quite clean. But the shower was concerning. The water pressure was near zero and it took forever to get hot water down the lines. My concern with the shower curtains not reaching the splash edge were mitigated by the fact there simply wasn’t enough water to splash. Fortunately, I didn’t have to worry about seeing any drips on the last morning because somewhere in the building the electrical breaker tripped and my morning ablutions were done in the dark. Between fumbling around with limited vision and the shower which now varied between scalding hot and bone chilling cold (each time someone somewhere else in the building turned on a tap); the situation hastened my readiness. Now all this would be mildly acceptable if a family of heavy footed tap dancing trolls hadn’t taken possession of the room above me in the wee am and left… in the not so wee am. Finally at departure there was no service just a phone number. Ugg, not worth the price tag.

Very kind staff...5 star hospitality.

Perfect place to sleep when you are on the road. Does the job well.

Had a great time here! Thanks

The hotel is in a wonderful location- just steps away from the ocean. The room was clean but a bit dark and smelled a little musty. The coffee maker was not working so we were a bit disappointed in that. The desk staff said they would look after that when I mentioned it. We decided to leave early because we really needed to get home to our family. The free golf next door was great though.

Is not a five star resort, but it was an entirely serviceable option. I'd definitely stay there again.

Broken bed, saggy mattress. Only one nightstand. No tub mat for shower. TV receiver was behind the television so it was near impossible to change channel. Mystery (blood?) stain on ceiling????

Nice place, small but all we needed! Staff were very nice and friendly. Clean and comfy bed! Nice outside area to sit and relax. We could also use the mini golf!

At first glance the property looks updated but is actually quite tired. First room was very musty so we moved to another room and it was similar. The couch had ripped fabric and the side table was dirty (sticky substance). The layout of the room was spacious and has great potential. The staff we dealt with were very nice and pleasant to deal with. I would love to give a higher score but just can’t due to the lack of cleanliness

Loved our stay at the Tide's Inn. Staff was excellent and helpful. Room was clean and comfortable. Amenities were outstanding. Really enjoyed being able to play a round of minigolf directly connected to the property. Would definitely recommend.

Overall good for the price and the beach proximity & unlimited free mini golf made up for any less than ideal issues. There was food left in the fridge, but staff came right away and took care of it. Phones aren’t working, and a stain or spot here and there was missed during cleaning. Microwave didn’t work well. Hot water was sporadic.

Mini kitchen facilities,clean room, friendly staff

The hotel is just okay, but since it was cheaper than others, I can't complain. Cleanliness was average - not too clean, but not too dirty either. The staff were polite, though parking was difficult. I stayed on the first floor, and the bed was right by the window and entrance, which made me fee a bit unsafe. Still given current hotel prices, it was a reasonable stay for the price.

I enjoyed my stay for a business trip. Staff is great, rooms are clean. My only complaint is I was there for 4 nights and the room doesn't get cleaned at all over that time, so I had to take out my own garbage and ask for fresh towels.

All good

Everything from check in to cleanliness was great

A great option for basic accommodation close to many of Parksville's tourist attractions.

Easy to find, car essential, close to everything

Compact room . Spotless clean. Updated fixtures. Surprisingly quiet.

Staff was great to deal with
