This was my second stay at this property. Just as strong as the first time. It's superior to most low-end motel chains. The place is conveniently located off the interstate. It's also a great staging point for any travel into Nova Scotia or even PEI/NB if headed that direction. The staff is friendly. The twice-daily tidal bore is great. The restaurant could afford to come down. Very much appreciated!

Tidal Bore Inn Review

I visited the Tidal Bore Inn on Saturday, June 28th, 2025 as a last minute retreat. We booked our room through a third party site, and upon arrival, there was a slight issue but the owner was very prompt, kind, and helpful. We got it resolved immediately. Our room featured a queen sized bed, a mini fridge, and bathroom. It was cozy, very clean, and no noise. We absolutely adored the view and property and recommend visiting. If you stay at the Tidal Bore Inn, theres a nearby walking trail that is only minutes from the hotel. We enjoyed every minute of our stay and will be returning. I'm very satisfied and happy we chose this spot.

A fine older establishment with clean, comfortable rooms. Great view of the top end of the Bay of Fundy. The restaurant has been closed for some time apparently but lots of mixed dining within minutes.

This was a quick stop on our trip to the east coast and was a good stay. The room was clean. The hot water was very unpredictable as it disappeared during a shower. No coffee in the room but they offered some in the lobby.
