Perfect 👍 Room 214 upstairs had a view of the ocean, plus you could hear the waves.

The room was clean, comfortable with a shower that had strong water pressure - nice & hot. There was shower gel, shampoo & conditioner. Mattress was firm (not hard) - great for my back.

Functional kitchen: mini fridge, microwave, Keurig w pods, sugar, cream & bagel sized toaster.

Heated pool was nice.

Meaningful touches: warm room; 2 bottles of water; cookies; earplugs; personalized welcome note - definitely loved the note 📝 😃

Vehicle stayed parked. Location was convenient with everything in walking distance: beach, Heisler Park, art museum, galleries, downtown shops & eateries. There was a free trolley but walking was fun & very easy.

Laguna Beach was festive, beautifully decorated with lights for Christmas 🎄🎄 . It was a lively, holiday atmosphere but not crowded.

We planned for 1 night but extended for 3 nights. We felt at HOME.

Anderson was an Outstanding host. He was very hospitable & accommodating to our needs.

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

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.

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.

Great hotel!!!
We stayed here for one night when we went to the pageant of the Masters Show. Check in was super easy, one free parking place included, bottled water ready in the room when we arrived. We stayed in room 212 and the 2 queen beds were SUPER comfortable. We slept so well that night. Cute retro room with fun wall decor of souvenir plates from all over the world. We don’t use the kitchen but it had everything you would need
We would return for sure next year if we come back for the show
Perfect location!

. . . my favorite "go to" lodging for multiple reasons - host hospitality; cleanliness of room(s) and common grounds; local history of the Laguna "charmer," location to "all things Laguna Beach," and my personal preference supporting small businesses . . . con una sonrisa Tony

They have fixed up the rooms since we stated last. The location can't be any better. There are restaurants just down the street where you can eat breakfast, The room was small but adequate. The pool was warm but a lot of chlorine. We had a nice stay and will probably return again.

A wonderful place conveniently located close to everything, featuring a serene saltwater pool, a cozy fireplace, and a warm, courteous welcome. The room offers a comfortable bed, a fridge, and a good-sized shower with luxurious and nourishing Bee Shower products. There is plenty of easy parking available. Thank you to the wonderful host, Anderson, who greeted me after office hours with a genuine smile.

PROS: location, walkable to beach and restaurants, friendly staff

CONS: old tired dark motel room, incredibly musty, dirty, beat-up furniture

We booked 2 rooms. My husband and son got a newly renovated, brightly painted, clean room but the toilet eventually broke. My daughter and I didn't need wheelchair access or a kitchenette but got "upgraded" to Room #104 which was old, tired, filthy (we didn't want to touch anything), various hair particles in the corner of the bathroom (see pics), and with such a strong musty smell that I couldn't sleep (opening the windows didn't help and only increased the noise from the street).

The woman who checked us in was so friendly that I didn't want to leave a negative review but I do want to temper other people's expectations. I added photos so one can judge for themselves, and hopefully expectations will meet reality.

love 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.
