What guests say
8.8 / 10 · Very good on Booking.com, from 661 guest reviews
The Tides Laguna Beach earns consistently warm praise for its unbeatable walkable location on PCH, genuinely friendly staff, and a well-kept heated saltwater pool that punches above the property's motel-grade standing. The main caveats are the dated interiors, sporadic maintenance issues, and street and foot-traffic noise, while some guests feel the nightly rate is steep for what is essentially a charming but older motel. Overall sentiment is strongly positive, with many guests declaring they would return.
