Our room was great! We loved having a little kitchenette! The beach was super easy to get to and the hotel staff was very nice and helpful with beach towels and boogie boards! This is definitely an older motel, but our room was clean and we couldn’t beat the price. We loved that there were coffee shops and a grocery store nearby as well.

I loved this motel. Front desk was friendly and knowledgable about things to do in Laguna with advice on directions and free transportation. The Tides Laguna was in walking distance of the beach, shops, restaurants and Pageant of the Masters. I was upgraded to a second floor room which was spacious with a full kitchen and a quaint dining area with a full table and chairs and antique plates from various state on the wall. The beds and pillows were extremely comfortable, the rooms were immaculate with plenty of air conditioning if needed. Plus,there was free parking a must in this busy beach town. I will definitely, book another stay at The Tides Laguna Beach in the future.
