Top Occidental Hotel Reviews

The Inn at the Tides

The Inn at the Tides

8/10 Good
"Climate control was ridiculous! There is a heater in the room, controlled by a thermostat. But the location of it made life for us quite miserable inside the room. That’s because the heater was located right by the only windows that would open up for fresh air. So we had to live with either stuffy heat or cold, fresh air. On the positive side, the room we had was one with a splendid view of a portion of the bay, across an open field. Cows grazed next door, and it was quite pleasant to sit on the little patio watching them, while listening to the soft sounds of the foghorn in the distance."
