ORIANA

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
We had a great stay at the Tidal Bore Inn. The owners were extremely kind and hospitable during check-in and later when helping us after we had accidentally locked ourselves out of our room. The location is very convenient as is located right off of the highway and close to several stores and fast food restaurants. I will note that the outlets in our upper level room were located quite far from the bed, so I would suggest to bring a long charging cord if you prefer to charge your phone/devices beside the bed.

This is an older place but was comfortable. My husband and I both had a great nights sleep. The gentleman that checked us in was very friendly, helpful and responsive. It was very close to the tidal bore viewing and near plenty of restaurants.

You get what you pay for, but in a good way. In other words, I wanted a cheap place to overnight, and this is the second time I've used this Inn. Staff is friendly. Facility and rooms are basic, with older and dated fixtures, but clean and quiet and fairly comfortable. Worth the money.
