This is a great place to stay in Laguna for the price. It's super close to everything and even though it's not right on the beach, it might as well be! We enjoyed our time here. I just wish there was some outside seating, it looked like some units had it but our top one did not. Otherwise 10/10

It was clean and convenient. In our particular room, the shower was as tiny as in a cruise ship and the door’s location could make it inaccessible to a larger person. Only stayed one night and it was more than adequate.

Nice but dated

For the price, The Tides is a good place to stay if you want to be in Laguna Beach. The staff, Anderson and Sarah, were very helpful and the rooms was clean. The only thing is it is in need of an update. It's old and dated. The beds are just ok, the kitchenette could be better equipped, there were no napkins or paper towels for example. If you don't mind that, it's a nice place to stay for the price, if you want to be in Laguna.
