First the extra touches that we loved: a Christmas wreath on the door (so cute) and a handwritten note personalized for our arrival. Second, we loved the location. And getting the kitchenette option was perfect for us! It made us feel like we were in a little home. It's an unfussy hotel made for you to do the basics -- shower, sleep, and eat if you bring your own goodies. When you're staying in Laguna this close to everything, you don't really need a full-service hotel. The point is to have a place to sleep that is convenient, and The Tides is VERY convenient. And the setup was perfect for my husband, me, and our pups. We plan to return. It was the perfect place for us to feel cozy at night. And just bounce out onto the street in the morning to get our day started.

Staff was nice. Location was nice. The bed was very uncomfortable. Lumpy, uneven, no support, all around uncomfortable. Certain areas of the flooring seemed patched over and dangerous to stand on. The bed was bad enough that my girlfriend and I decided to drive the 45 minutes home at 11:30 pm.

Could easily hear neighbors talking and banging around all night. Plus someone’s alarm clock rang loud at 6am for about an hour. I will not stay here again.

The room we stayed in was very clean, the shower was nice , the air conditioner worked great. The only con was we slept on the bottom floor and the people upstairs right above our room stayed up all night long both nights, we could hear everything, every little noise, so when they would walk around it literally sound like they were stomping when they would walk. My husband and I made this trip as our 19 year wedding anniversary and were hoping to rest, sleep in and enjoy ourselves away from our kids, our dogs etc. Next time I make this trip I will definitely make sure NOT to book a dowstair room. The front desk gentleman was friendly and polite.
