“Great view of Port Townsend Bay from your in-room Jacuzzi!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

We enjoyed this establishment for our anniversary and were referred by another couple who go there every year for theirs. Yes the place is dated but the room we had has a spectacular view of the bay from the in-room huge jacuzzi. The included breakfast is so-so but we did not go there for the food! There are lots of great small restaurants in town. The place is old but we we really enjoyed our stay, Not a lot of parking on site and the windows and patio could stand a good power washing. The sitting area had a nice big bay window to watch the ferrys coming into the dock. If you want a romantic getaway at a decent price, this is it. Enjoy the town and all the shops (such as the Wine Seller) then spend the evening relaxing in your jacuzzi!

Room Tip: Get an upper room with a jacizzi and enjoy yourselves!

“Coastal charm in a convenient location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 December 2011

This was a surprisingly enjoyable stay. I was a little worried because of some of the negative reviews I saw about this property, so I was glad when I saw for myself. For an extra cost, we opted to upgrade to the newer, renovated section that had a jetted tub. We had no problem with cleanliness of our room. It room was very spacious, yet cozy with the fireplace. It also had a generous-sized bathroom with a convenient shower unit. The staff was ever so helpful, with special thanks to Angelie and Skeeter (desk manager)! They went the extra mile for us in customer service without even being asked, and they gave us wonderful suggestions for dining and sightseeing. When we go back to Port Townsend, the Tides Inn is where we would definitely stay again.

“Bike trip oasis”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 October 2011

I really liked this place. I am on a bicycle trip through Port Townsend and stayed an extra day because of the weather. I found it to be spotless. Good breakfast...nice staff. I really looked the place over and can't think of a single fault...oh, not quite perfect...the breakfast coffee is weak...bring a Starbucks instant...the little coffee unit in the room is good and great internet. Definitely would stay here again.

“What a waste.”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 September 2011

This hotel has a good location but you can't see out the windows because they are too dirty. It's a dump. Spend your money elsewhere and if there's no place left in town to rent, sleep in your car.

Room Tip: Go to another hotel.

I sincerely apologize you had a bad experience with us. Because we are a waterfront property we do have a lot of salt water sprays that leave film on the window. We have changed windows cleaning schedule to work with weather and check-in time. Also, we have made changes to housekeeping methods and check list to eliminate any mistakes. We hope we will have another opportunity to give you a great experience.

“Bed Bugs!!! Trust your gut!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 September 2011
2
people found this review helpful

Dirty, dirty, dirty! We should have walked right back out the door...In the first 10 minutes we were there we found a open beer can behind the TV, sunflower shells on the side of one of the beds and a nasty dirty sponge next to the sink (did they really think someone would want to use that??). Right then we should have left but we know it was an older hotel and decided to overlook it. Feeling extra creeped out we went to bed and woke up the next morning to find a HUGE bed bug crawling acrossed the bed that I had just crawled out of with my 3 month old daughter! Freaked out I squashed the bug on a piece of paper and looked on my phone for a picture of a bed bug, twin brothers!!! So my sister-in-law and I spent practially our whole 3 day vacation disinfecting and washing our clothes and other belongings. We were going to leave the hotel but they offered to put us in the new part and had on-site laundry. With a 3 month old and a 4 year old we felt our options were limited and we didn't want to put anything in the car before washing. The newer part was a lot cleaner and felt better but they actually has the nerve to charge us $20 for the "upgrade". Room 12 was our original room....Beware!

We are absolutely horrified to hear you had experience with bed bugs. We apologize for such terrible experience. We can understand how uneasy you must feel. Although this is our very first report of any bed bugs, we took it very seriously. We had professional exterminator thoroughly inspect the entire property of any bed bugs. We were relieve to hear that we have no bed bugs. However we still removed the bed and treated the room to leave nothing to a chance. It is our goal to provide clean and comfortable rooms for you to enjoy. Please call us and we'll correct any problems you had. Thank you.
