I love the kitchen area and find the old time charm just right. The staff is friendly and I often get an unexpected upgrade when I check in to make my stay even better. Love the location as it is close to the beach and restaurants.

This property was just across the street from the ocean, we were able to see the water from our room. It’s in close proximity to shops and restaurants. We were greeted warmly and check-in was quick. There was even a personalized note left in the room, which was a nice touch! We will definitely stay here again!

I loved my stay at the Tides!! It’s a wonderful jewel in Laguna. Near galleries and the pacific coast trail. An easy walk to downtown and the beach. My room was impeccable and loved the vintage touches in my room the little dressing room and vanity. Updates made it fresh and clean, thick towels and lots of hot water. A personal note from the manager was a nice personal touch. In room coffee was dark roast and that’s perfect! So many details were attended to! Thank you Sara and Anderson at the front desk, and the staff in housekeeping were amazing - thank you for your attention to detail. I’ve already made a reservation to return again! I loved this spot ❤️

The Tides is always accommodating whatever your needs or room preferences are!! Can’t beat the location across from the beach and right on a tram stop if you don’t want to walk downtown and Theres a beautiful pool! Not to mention affordable rates! The Tides is always my go to when in Laguna Beach!

What a memorable and amazing experience! Highly recommended while in Laguna beach! The service was top-notch: attention to details, personalized welcome note, overall helpfulness. The room was spacious, clean, lots of cool details. They had a heated pool which we used every evening. Plus, it’s right across the street from a beautiful park and a beach. Reasonably priced for OC.

Extended our stay for a different room.
So … read all of this for the full picture. We had booked 2 nights and had a small room - which was fine - but there was no window in the room itself. However, we liked the hotel, so asked about adding an extra night - but changing room. We did so and got room 214. It’s an upstairs room with a view over to the ocean. It was a much bigger room for not a huge price difference (our initial booking was across new year which is why this might not have been available). This room was much bigger with a kitchenette. The staff at the hotel were really helpful and, rather than the 4 hours between check out and re check in - got a room ready for changing at 11am. Pool area was nice and we sat by the fire of an evening (it was December/January). You are a short walk from a supermarket which is good & a short walk downhill to the town. If you cross the road towards the ocean - the park/gardens at the beach area are beautiful. As for Laguna Beach itself - it’s a very pretty place with some nice shopping. Not a lot of ‘cheap’ options - although we went up and past the supermarket and had an amazing burger from the roadside place there (I’d highly recommend doing this). If you’re looking for a glitzy hotel - you’ll look at pictures and book somewhere else. This, however, brings a real pleasant environment to stay in with friendly people working there - I’d take that any day (along with the money I’d be saving).

What a cute place! It was definitely clean, well located, and felt very safe. I stayed in the queen room with kitchenette. The room was huge and had lot of space. The bathroom was small and the shower very small, but it did get hot water quickly. I will be coming back to stay!
