- orn2e5b8noLomita, California1 contributionnice place close to everythinglove this place in Laguna Beach. We wanted a affordable room with a kitchenette and pet friendly, although we decided not to bring the dog. We asked for an upstairs room and it was very bright and clean, tastefully decorated, and the bed and pillows are all very comfortable. It has a nice pool area with BBQ, fireplace and seating area. Everything is beautifully decorated and maintained. The only drawback is that the hotel is right off coast highway so can be noisy from the traffic but all you have to do it close the double paned windows and can barely hear anything . Friendly staff, and close to downtown and beach, all 5-10 min walk, lots of eating, and shopping close by. Heisler Park is 5 min walk and the beach is just beautiful.Date of stay: August 2020Written August 8, 2020
- Kelley H9 contributionsGetaway over 3 day holidayGreat location for exploring Laguna Beach. Parking is free for 1 car but large vehicles need to park behind the hotel. My room had a kitchenette which was useful. The only negative point I can say is if you are in a ground floor room, you hear anything above you. Pet fee is a bit steep $25/pet per night. I have 2 dogs so that slapped $100 to my bill. I used DoorDash and had my dinner delivered to my hotel room almost like room service.Date of stay: January 2020Traveled soloWritten January 25, 2020
- Jennifer Y4 contributionsBirthday GetawayI searched for a place to take my family of four and The Tides was a great choice. The location was ideal and walking distance from Heisler park and the streets are filled with art galleries, restaurants and many different shops. I enjoyed the scenery and my family was able to comfortably swim thanks to their heated pool. The staff was friendly and accommodating and the room was well decorated with an ocean view. They’re affordable and a cool place to stay! I went for my birthday trip FYI they do have birthday discounts just require two nights stay. Also they’re dog friendly!Date of stay: January 2021Traveled with familyWritten January 8, 2021

We have chosen the Tides as our home away from home for many years. Anderson and the staff are so welcoming and helpful. We have previously stayed at other places in Laguna Beach, however, we much prefer the Tides to any other place in town. Each room is uniquely decorated, clean and several have kitchenettes. We love the saltwater pool, and at night an outdoor fireplace is a great place to unwind at the end of the day. It's just a short walk to gorgeous Heisler Park, which has grassy picnic areas and stunning vistas of the ocean, as well as access to the beach. The Tides also offers a free parking place for each room--very rare in Laguna, where parking can be $25 and up per night. The prices are very reasonable, and we will continue to choose the Tides Laguna for our getaways.

According to their website and verbal acknowledgement pets are only allowed on the first floor. NOT. I witnessed other wise. I was deceived with the first floor only BS. Oh they told me it was a rare event and I say BS to that. I get it they need to fill rooms but they really need to change their pet policy. Just say pets are allowed! Stop the deceit! I would have booked elsewhere. Hate being lied too and right in my face! Love animals just don’t want to sleep in the same room. Would I stay here again, NO.

Response from The Tides Laguna Beach, Guest Services / Front Office at The Tides Laguna Beach
Responded Jul 27, 2023
Thank you for taking the time to give us your feedback and review. We sincerely apologize that you felt we lied to you. We value our guests and do not operate that way. There weren't any pets in your room before or during your stay. The dog you saw was a service animal in which we explained to you. Service animals are not considered pets and are individually trained to do work or perform tasks for an individual with a disability. On the rare occasion that a guest brings a pet at check-in without letting us know prior, we may have to make an exception if we do not have any options available. We are transparent with our guests and did not intend to deceive you in any way. Again, we are sorry, but hope you enjoyed Laguna Beach. Thank you.

From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed and appreciated as guests. We were offered fresh fruit in the lobby, local maps and other tourist information. Our room had lots of beach charm and was very clean and inviting. The linens and towels are luxurious, and bottled waters were provided. The location is near everything, yet not in a congested area. Perfect spot! Can't wait to return!

A hidden gem. I recently stayed there. The room was spotless, sanitary,, clean and impeccably made. Inside the room, they provide earplugs, and a hand written note greeting you to the property. Keurig with well chosen coffee. The Tides Laguna Beach is quaint and inviting and the saltwater pool is heated. Anderson and Sarah, who work the front desk, were helpful, knowledgeable of the area, made my check in seamless, accommodating, professional, the perfect example of their profession, every reason to come back. Andersen, who saw us in the pool, after a long day of sightseeing, , brought us and another party, towels, even though we never asked

Everything, from the warm welcome to the room upgrade, was perfect. Conveniently situated, close to the beach and downtown, and with a very nice pool. The bed was very comfortable and the service was impeccable. I would strongly recommend it.

The Tides had amazing service, a decent amount of parking, is close to anything you could need, provided enough bath towels, had very clean rooms, and was perfect for a couple days in Laguna Beach. It is an older building, so the doors and floors creek a little and the appliances are not super up to date, however, that older building also had a lot of charm and when you are outside all day, updated appliances aren’t a big deal. We would definitely stay here again if we come back to the area.

This place is ok at best. But he main thing it has going for it is location. Traffic in Laguna Beach is ridiculous as is parking. This place allows you to walk to the main areas. The room was small the bathroom even smaller. Located right on the main road so traffic noise is an issue. Dog friendly but no where to really walk your dog on property. Small grass strip in front that is 4 feet above the road.

Stayed here for three nights after some business travel and it was the perfect affordable hideaway in Laguna Beach. Yes it was during the heavy LA rain but it still really worked out. Wifi is pretty good at the hotel but I wouldn't recommend it for zoom or Teams video calls, it was a bit more spotty then. Location is fantastic, easy access to the walking paths and beaches. About a 10-15 minute walk downtown and right by some of the free trolley stops too. And about a 4 minute walk to the grocery store. Bed is incredibly comfortable, shower is small, bathroom is very small. I also didn't have hot water while there which...isn't great in January, even in California. That is the only thing that would really keep me from going back. It is located right on the PCH so even if you are further back in the property, you will hear car noise. So be aware of that. To me it wasn't disruptive but if you are closer to the road, I could see that being loud. There are cars going 24/7. The rooms also have a small kitchenette, no cooktop but microwave and small fridge. There are also limited items in the kitchenette to use so if you require more items, bring them with you. Staff was super friendly and nice. Overall, I had a good stay and would stay again but during a time of year when not having hot water isn't a big deal.…

Was really pleased that hubby was glad with my choice of stay in Laguna Beach. Clean. Efficient for everything we needed. Near enough to the main shops, restaurants and of course the beach. Sadly, the pool was being refurbished, but it was not needed when we brought rain with us!
