It's well located. Relatively quiet considering it's on the street, which gives it its excellent convenience. Very clean and extremely well laid out in each room. It's a tried and true favorite. Parking is a challenge. That's the only downside.

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!
