Staff are *very* nice at The Inn at the Tides. On the evening that I stayed, a fog horn in Bodega Bay was beeping every 8 seconds. Closing all the windows tight didn't help. I was hoping there would be more to Bodega Bay than there is. It really is just a fork in the road, a beach, and a hiking trail.

Skip the breakfast at the Inn. I like the fine dining restaurant the cafe experience was unacceptable. With our continental breakfast included we went down to have a nice breakfast on the ocean. Not our experience or expectations at all. We were seated give our iced tea and completely left on our own. Both tables next to us were waited on promptly while we sat there trying to get someone’s attention for between 20-30 minutes. They had their food cooked and delivered. Enjoy the hotel pass the breakfast. Estero in Valley Ford is great!
