It was clean and convenient. In our particular room, the shower was as tiny as in a cruise ship and the door’s location could make it inaccessible to a larger person. Only stayed one night and it was more than adequate.

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.
