kim, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

As a motel, better than many for cleanliness. Unique view of the end of the Bay of Fundy tidal bore from a large park with chairs, part of the motel property.

Angela, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

While it was a bit awkward to find a place to charge my devices, the view was nice, and the chairs outside were comfortable. The room was spacious for the price.

This dated property was in a convenient location. As often happens, These older places have a stagnant smell in the room, perhaps old carpet. It had a decent view of the tide changes in the channel across the highway. For the price, it was acceptable although would not choose a second time.

amanda, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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!

Check before arriving when Tidal Bore comes in. We didn’t and missed it. Googled it and it was wrong

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.
