Great family place!
Our family comes to Laguna Beach twice a year and we stay in various places in the area. Now that we have stayed here this year, we will be coming back again and again. The room we got was really an apartment. It had a full kitchen, dining area, large closet, large bedroom and a bathroom. We had a lot of light, super clean and so many towels! It is walking distance to everything, and only thing I would be aware of is to wear the ear plugs they give you in case of any patrol sirens on PCh. Other than that, our stay was lovely!

It’s been our 3rd or 4th time at the Tides. We love this unique vintage and affordable hotel. It’s well within walking distance to the beach, Heisler Park and many restaurants and shops. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. We’ve never had issues with parking and the rooms are spotless clean. Until next time!

We thought this was a wonderful little motel and a good value! The staff was super welcoming and helpful, and the rooms were renovated and very cute. Comfortable beds, Keurig coffee maker, refrigerator, bottled water and lots of quaint touches like games and books. Easy covered parking and a nice little pool. Also really convenient to the beach, dining etc. Excellent front desk service and good WIFi. Highly recommended!

The Tides is fantastic. The staff is so helpful and friendly. The location is so great for beach access and short stroll down to shops and restaurants. This was our second stay here and we would love to stay again sometime.
