My stay at Tides was comfortable, the staff was helpful and quick to communicate and the room was impeccably clean. The only issue was the garbage bins and toilet bins were not lined with bin bags- though I did make a last minute booking. Excellent location. Overall experience was 9.5/10 Highly recommend.
