My wife and I go to the Tides Inn every New Year's Eve and are never disappointed. The food is outstanding and the facilities simply beautiful. We always get a suite in the main hotel and the rooms are large and comfortable. The staff is quite attentive and the location is spectacular. The morning views over the bay are simply... More

Having been to several old Inn's, B&B's and Resorts in the Maryland and Virginia area, besides other world travel and staying in four and five star hotels, we love to re-visit the Tides Inn. Thanksgiving and Christmas time is especially wonderful. We have not found the ambiance, elegance and old world charm as great as at the Tides Inn. The... More

(Just a little background to possibly help a reader understand that this review is offered by someone who's been on 46 luxury cruises (the very best lines), and has stayed at only the finest hotels (4 and 5 stars) throughout the world for over 35+ years) For the last seven years, we have celebrated Thanksgiving weekend at the Tides Inn...

Thank you so much for your comments. I have always believed the way to run a resort is from the front with the customers and not neccesarily from behind a desk. Your comments woudl lead me to believe the philosophy is good and true. We look forward to welcoming you back to The Tides Inn. Best regards. Gordon Slatford More

My wife and I decided on a close yet quaint, upscale getaway. The Tides Inn quickly came to mind and a destination we had not visited. Upon check in, Earl, a 28 year dedicated employee, greeted and guided us to the front desk where we met Tony and Bryant, the front desk manager. They selected a beautiful suite that met... More

I have stayed at the Tides many times and find myself returning from this recent stay thinking I cannot letmuch time pass without another visit. The Tides is timeless and yet completely current; the hospitality, amenities and natural beauty make any visit a luxury and at the same time a necessity. Where else can you experience the ever changing landscape... More

I've visited the Tides' Inn several years as part of an annual 'girls' reunion, and it has aged gracefully - no signs of wear. The rooms are lovely and spacious, the beds are comfortable The Garden House rooms give you a great view of the water and marina. The staff is always pleasant. Every year it's also enjoyable to sit... More

I am glad you enjoyed your stay and utilised the shops and retsaurants that Irvington offers I note your comment on price and will offer the following advice. Try to book midweek when demand is slightly lower you will probably experience lower rates for the same great product. Mind you a lot of what we offer is actually priceless, the... More

My husband and I recently stayed at this property and it exceeded our expectations. We got a discounted rate and it was well worth the two days we spent there. It's a older very well maintained property offering southern charm. We loved the quiet and serene, not too many activities, so if you're looking for nightlife this is not your... More

This is the second time we've been to The Tides Inn on our coastal cruises and each time has been great. And this time even better than the last. The food in the restaurant was fabulous! The crispy Calamari crispy, tender and succulent all at the same time served with an amazing Pineapple Curry dipping sauce. The calamari is large..so... More

Thank you for stopping by. I have been delighted by the quality and stability of our new floating dock system and it presents so well. I appreciate you mentioning some of our staff by name, they work hard for your praise and it is gratefully recieved. Come back again in the spring when boating weather returns. Best regards.

Recently we had two nights at this property and were sorely disappointed, beginning with the check in process. Pulling up to the the hotel, there was no one there to help with the baggage, so as a well mannered guest, we maneuvered the car out of the portico, only to be chastised by an employee for not parking properly. We... More

Immaculate rooms, beautiful grounds, surrounded by water, antebellum architecture. I visited at the start of the summer and it was a magical step back in time. It had all the quirks of an old bed and breakfast with all the perks of 21st century amenities. More

Thank you for your review. The Tides is a very eclectic and traditional property with a few quirks. It is true that we have a variety of rooms with varying sizes, views and amenities. We try to select an appropriate room for each guest but if one does not suit for any reason we will be happy to show others... More
