There’s more to explore in Port Townsend, and when you return, we will have another beautiful view room for you.

It’s true, there is no better location and no better hospitality. The Tides Inn remains the only waterfront hotel in Port Townsend.

A weathered look to our wooden decks is a waterfront characteristic of the more rustic Original Tides Hotel rooms option. The more modern choice of the Tides Premium rooms would offer all of the features you enjoyed as well as a more contemporary experience.

We don’t always expect full scores in our guest reviews, but we humbly note that these have become more common than not. We greatly appreciate you expressing your satisfaction with your stay.

There are two experiences offered at the Tides; the Original Tides (where you stayed this visit) and the more upscale and modern Tides Premium Suites. We always encourage prospective guests to contact us and discuss the differences between each option. We would all agree that you deserve to enjoy the experience that suits you best.

I am happy to have personally served you during this visit and pleased that you enjoyed your stay.

Thank you for bringing this maintenance issue to my attention. We will troubleshoot the door problem.

I apologize that your stay was troubled with the numerous phone calls you mentioned. It appears as though there was an easily resolved reservation issue that developed into something unnecessarily complicated. Wherever you book next time I hope you will continue to reserve through Expedia. I read from your comments that you were happy and confident with their service.

We are grateful to offer our guests a location with beautiful ocean front views and very happy to read that our friendly staff added to the enjoyable experience of your stay.

Quaint is nicely descriptive of the accommodations of our Original Tides Hotel. Guests who wish a more modern hotel experience with many extra amenities should ask about our newer Premium rooms, which all have ocean-front views of course.

Our wifi was under a complicated technical repair during your stay.I apologize that you were inconvenienced,

Thank you for staying in touch and sending us your review. I hope all was satisfactory during your stay at the Tides Inn.

Thank you for reviewing your stay. 4 out of 5 is an indication that we can improve for you.

The original Tides Hotel dates from the late 1940’s and that part of the inn retains very much the rustic atmosphere, experience and feel of a seaside motor hotel of that era. Guests will be pleased and reassured to know that the rooms were completely updated in 2021-22.

A low scored review of a guest stay is always concerning. I regret that there are no other details and equally am sorry that you did not enjoy your stay.

An appreciative and happy guest; I am pleased your stay went so well.

A great review from a satisfied guest. Thank you.

I apologize that I was not present for your arrival as I am certain I could have mediated the negative beginning of your stay.

A great room with a world-class view and close to everything.

I expect your arrival was after the front desk had closed for the night, which in our case is at 10pm. Late in the evening, we had not heard from you and were not able to reach you by telephone to coordinate a “key-drop” for after-hours arrivals such as yours. I regret the poor experience and wish better information could have avoided almost all of the unpleasantness.

I hope you will return and please allow us to work with you in order to offer you the room-type you have enjoyed in previous visits. There are both older and newer sides to the Tides Inn and many room variations.

Please let us know if there is anything you would like to see improved for your next stay. We have a great many room options we’d enjoy discussing.

Thank you for your observations on the all new and improved Tides Inn. It seems to me also that those renovations are all done.

I see that you have shown a scored review of 3 out of 5 and I believe we could do better for you.Please ask about our larger and more modern Premium rooms. You may wish to consider that option on a future stay.

Although the Original Tides Hotel side of our property was, in 2022, completely renovated (as were the newer Premium Suites) the original architecture of it's era remained a compromise. Yes, the renovated bathrooms look great - but still small.

I am very sorry that my set standards of service and hospitality were not met. Training will be addressed and we will work to ensure a more than satisfactory stay for your next visit.

I am very sorry you were dissatisfied with your experience here in a number of ways.Please contact the manager directly at the hotel should you choose to return.I'm sure he will give this his personal attention

Thank you for the top marks review. I hope you you visit again soon.

Thank you. We appreciate your review.

When you think of your next visit to Port Townsend, please choose the Tides Inn once more, and consider an upgrade to one of our Premium rooms.Premium King and Premium King Deluxe are very special and recommended.

We sincerely thank you for your review and hope to host you again soon.

I am pleased we achieved your essential expectations for a great stay in Port Townsend.Thank you for your comment.

I am glad your brief stay was enjoyable.Many wooden deck balconies have had their annual power-wash earlier in the spring and the re-staining is underway.

There are many fine hotel choices in Port Townsend, and each a unique experience. I am pleased that you chose the Tides Inn; the only truly waterfront accommodations.

A ranking of 5 out of 5 is a review we are honored to receive. Thank you for yours.

Yes, but your return is welcome and anticipated.Thank you for your comment.

I read that our waterfront location was a big plus for you. We enjoy it every day.

Jenny is the sweetest person and we are very pleased to have her as one of the first smiling faces you’ll see when you arrive.

I have asked maintenance to to inspect and repair any problems with the bathroom fixtures within the room in which you stayed. The bathroom doors within the guest rooms do not have a lock.

Thank you and all the guests who have lately scored the Tides Inn with full marks.

Thanks for taking a few moments to compose a clear and informative review. It helps us improve our service and effect corrections.

You may have missed it as the color is black on black, but there are phone chargers and electrical outlets in the nightstands by the bed.

I wish there were more restaurants in Port Townsend that featured a waterfront setting, but this can be forgiven as the dining experiences here are quite exceptionally good.Of course, your ocean view Tides Inn room will be right on the water’s edge.

You were both such wonderful people and we appreciated hosting you for your all too short stay.Thank you for your comments and visit with us again soon please.

Thank you for the generous score of 5 out of 5 for your stay.I hope you make us your choice when you visit Port Townsend again soon.

It’s always a pleasure to read that our staff helped make your stay complete.It’s true the views are remarkable and our location excellent, but it’s the people who welcome you that truly begin a perfect getaway.

It is a real pleasure to read that you enjoyed your stay with us and Port Townsend too.Please come again.

Thank you for such a high, full marks scoring. We appreciate you.

The “beach” adjacent is more of a seawall than a sandy expanse, but we are right there on the waterfront - and the views are remarkable. Thank you for your review.

Parking can be a difficulty whenever the hotel is near capacity. We can assist, even in the busiest times.I am happy to hear that your stay was otherwise lovely.
