The Tides Inn and Cottages guarantees that every hotel reservation booked through our website is guaranteed to have the lowest rate publicly available on the Internet. If you find a rate on another website lower than the lowest available rate on the hotel's official website, for the same room type and dates, rate payment requirements (e.g. full prepayment), and restrictions, we will match it.   Book your reservation at www.tidespismobeach.com. Then contact our friendly Guest Services within 24 hours of booking your room and provide all the details. Simple as that!  Upon its verification of your claim, the hotel will adjust your rate for the nights for which the lower rate was found. Rooms on the other website must be publicly available and bookable on the Internet at the time of verification. The rates are not valid if they are only published in the text.  Please call the hotel directly at 1-805-773-2493 to speak to an on-site Guest Services Agent for any assistance.
