4 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 February 2012 NEW

Although an older building, very well maintained. Very comfortable beds and pillows. Each room is decorated differently. Good water pressure in shower. Walking distance to downtown Laguna Beach and the beach. A lovely cliff top park just across the road. Motel is oriented so road noise is lessened. Pool is well maintained. Managers were very friendly and helpful with local... More

Just returned home for our annual "sisters getaway" and had a fabulous time at The Tides ! Our own personal family members are in the hotel business for over 40+ years so I guess you could say we are hotel snobs ! It is the best kept secret in the Southern California beach area! The Tides is a small property... More

We stayed at The Tides over Christmas and it is a very nice small motel. We were in walking distance of the beach, downtown and shopping. The manager was very friendly and most helpful with checking in and checking out. This is an older motel that is clean and small, I would guess about two dozen rooms, they still isssue... More

I'm a bit reluctant to make this review, because everyone will want to stay here. Kudos to Dale & Linda (owners) and Judy & Joe (managers) for The Tides. With each room uniquely decorated emanating understated elegance, this gem of an inn is subtly exquisite, oh-so comfortable, and none could be more welcoming and hospitable! This IS the place to...

My girl and I went to Laguna beach to celebrate her Birthday and it was Wonderful because of the great place we stayed. "The Tides" was not like any hotel.....it was more like Home. The room has hardwood floors and nicely decorated and I've never slept better than on the soft cushy bed in our room. We were only a... More

In 34 years of marriage we have never been treated so nice by motel/hotel magagers. Joe and his wife were just best. The room, bedding and bathroom were very clean. We intended to stay just one night but were having so much fun being by ourselves finally that we stayed over a second night. Great value and perfect location. Everything... More

Have just returned from a 4 night stay at the Tides Inn in Laguna Beach, CA, which is my second stay there. The Tides is a small, intimate hotel with a lovely owner. The rooms are all unique, approximately half have a kitchen or kitchenette of some sort. There is a lovely salt water pool and outdoor fireplace area. We... More
