The Inn at the Tides

The Inn at the Tides

8/10 Good
"The hotel and staff were amazing! The restaurant was beyond bad. We literally couldn’t drink the cocktails and the morning breakfast was absolutely terrible. I got the shrimp omelette and it was literally a can of cold tiny shrimp poured in an omelette with no cheese or seasoning. I was sick the rest of the day."
