Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
I was pleasantly pleased with The Tide's Inn. The room was "Cozy", perfect for myself. I was there to attend my Father's Funeral. The room was updated and clean. I would however ask that they wash the Window. I did enjoy the walk over to the RV area to sit at the picnic Tables and enjoyed the View of Parksville Beach. The access down to the Beach may need some attention as I did not find it very assessable for those with any mobility issues. Right beside the Tide's Inn was The Bayside Resort, which has a Wonderful Happy Hour, great patio and view, you can access via an open Gate.

Each room on the backside of the Inn had a little Patio with Table and Chairs

Property although older has been renovated. Lovely and clean with comfortable beds. They have outdoor seating and even a BBQ if you are so inclined. No restaurant on property but great restaurant on adjoining property Bay Hotel. Also a coffee shop at mini golf next door. Staff were amazingly nice and efficient. Check in and out easy. Good restaurants near by. I would recommend this small hotel which is reasonably priced.

The back where our room was had patio tables available for each unit which was most appreciated. And it was quiet, the motel, as are many of the accommodations, is located on a highway that is quite noisy. My only complaint is that the lights on the fence were on the entire night and the blinds didn’t keep the light from getting into the room, that kept me awake for some time. Photo is of my Yorkshire Terrier Watson, he slept just fine!..

This place is amazing - especially for the price. Very cozy and hospitable, greeted with free popcorn, free access to mini golf, bbq and easy access to the beach! This place has all you need! And what makes this place different is the staff - they go above and beyond. Keep in mind it is a 2 star motel - for what it’s worth I’d give it a 10/10
