Reading some of the other reviews people seem to have some odd expectations of this place. It's a roadside motel folks, not the Hyatt resort. That being said, my wife and I had a wonderful time here. We came here in January for our friends' wedding. When we made our reservations we opted to pay a little extra to get... more

I booked a two night stay in Laguna as a getaway. First of all the hotel is on the opposite side of the Pacific Coast Highway from the beach, so if you have a room with a view, it is a view of the street and hotel across the street or a view of the alley. You cannot see the... more

My wife and I drove round California/Arizona for one month in January/Feb of 2008. We didn’t have a room booked in Laguna Beach so we headed to Tides Inn on a LP recommendation. It is on the main road but there was no problem with noise. We got a really nice room as the lady said there was an internet... more

Our family of four (two teenagers) stayed for four nights at The Tides Inn. We travel extensively as a family and have come to prefer unique, tasteful, and clean properties as opposed to overpriced resorts that can make you feel ripped off for what you get in return. I'm pleased to see that our kids have come to the same... more

My sister and I took our girls for Spring Break. What a great little motel. It was so clean and the owner is wonderful. I found myself hanging out on our front porch or at the pool, instead of going to the beach. It was great. We will definately be going back. It was a very short walk to the... more

I didn't book anywhere in Laguna beach because of the reviews on all of them were up and down. So I figured I'd just stop somewhere. Well it was here. I never noticed any road noise, and we were in room 107. Rooms are very small,parking is very small. The rooms were cute, and very clean. The grounds were also... more

I read the reviews noting the traffic noise from Coast Highway, and when making our reservation I asked to be as far away from the highway as possible, and Linda the owner, assured me in room 105, we would be fine. We arrived, and we weren't expecting luxury digs, and at first glance when we checked in at 5pm, the... more

We stayed at, The Tides Inn, Just before Christmas. It is the most darling little place. Just three and one half blocks from the down town area. The rooms are all very cute. They have a cottage feel to them. My husband and I had a very nice room with a very comfortable king bed, down comfortor with a beautiful... more

When our entire town was evacuated due to a wildfire, my parents and I and my cat stayed at the Tides. I was very pleased that they allowed me to keep my cat in the room. They also gave us a reduced rate because we were fire evacuees. The manager, Cathryn, was very nice and understanding of our situation. Since... more

We stayed in the Tides Inn for the final 5 days of our Nevada/Californian trip. I have a very mixed review. On checking into our accommodation we were told that we would be staying in one room for 4 days and then moving to a second room for our final night. I was really dissapointed about this and felt that... more
