Location, location, location!

Everyone working there was helpful, welcoming, and appreciative. We had a very nice room on the top floor facing the ocean. The location of The Tides is what makes it so special. We never needed to use our car. Restaurants, art galleries, lovely shops, entertainment, and the breathtaking views of the ocean from the nearby paved trail were all within walking distance even for me, a woman in her 70s. We hope to return someday.

Coziest place to stay by the sea, especially if you want something simple and quaint. The only issue was the connection to the wifi. Other than that, the husband and I agreed we'd choose to stay at this place again

The Tides was so cute. Very welcoming with a perfect location to easily walk to shopping, dining, beaches etc. plus they have free parking. Rates were very reasonable compared to other nearby properties. Building is old so you can hear pretty much everything in adjacent rooms but that is the only flaw. Will definitely return.

Lovely getaway

This is a lovely little hotel close to everything in Laguna. The staff is incredibly helpful and kind. The pool and deck area are wonderful and well kept and there are sweet touches like a hand written note on arrival. The beds are really comfortable and I appreciate that parking is included! The only reason I’m rating this hotel 4/5 is because the water pressure and temperature in the shower were horrible. The water trickled and the water kept changing temperature every couple of minutes. Furthermore, the air conditioning unit was located right next to one of the beds, so if you wanted any air, it was blowing directly onto someone. If these minor inconveniences don’t bother you, everything else about the stay is fantastic!

I loved this motel. Front desk was friendly and knowledgable about things to do in Laguna with advice on directions and free transportation. The Tides Laguna was in walking distance of the beach, shops, restaurants and Pageant of the Masters. I was upgraded to a second floor room which was spacious with a full kitchen and a quaint dining area with a full table and chairs and antique plates from various state on the wall. The beds and pillows were extremely comfortable, the rooms were immaculate with plenty of air conditioning if needed. Plus,there was free parking a must in this busy beach town. I will definitely, book another stay at The Tides Laguna Beach in the future.

Awesome place.

They have such clean, nice and comfortable space. The pool and grill area is awesome and clean. Anderson is truly awesome i believe he is the manager. Is helpful and so polite. Ran into a slight issue with the plumbing and he was all over it. Also it is literally walking distance from the beach and main entrance to the park. Couldnt have asked for more.
