Nice but dated

For the price, The Tides is a good place to stay if you want to be in Laguna Beach. The staff, Anderson and Sarah, were very helpful and the rooms was clean. The only thing is it is in need of an update. It's old and dated. The beds are just ok, the kitchenette could be better equipped, there were no napkins or paper towels for example. If you don't mind that, it's a nice place to stay for the price, if you want to be in Laguna.

Our favorite Laguna Beach stay - even more so than properties several times the cost. Everyone who works there is so kind, and the rooms are perfect for families. The kitchenette facilities are so convenient. Also, this inn has hands down the warmest heated pool. We’ve comfortably enjoyed it in December and January - it’s amazing.
