    Very nice, old-fashioned motel that is clean, well-maintained, and very comfortable. Free parking. Very easy walk to the beach, restaurants, art galleries, etc. Friendly staff. Would stay here again.

    Everything was perfect, especially the free parking

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Staff is so warm and kind. Truly the best experience we’ve ever had from a hotel. They gave us a handwritten welcome card that i kept when we left, and they had beach towels and snacks to give. They made our trip so special, we will definitely be staying again :)

    Great location to the beach and restaurants. Having a kitchen was very helpful. Staff was extremely friendly and informative. Hotel provided chairs and towels for the beach.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Wonderful lowkey place to stay. Nice rooms with kitchenette or full kitchens. Fresh interior, good sizes. Dog friendly. Free parking. One can walk all over, to town, to the beach, to the grocery store. We love it!! We have stayed here serveral times.

    Unfortunately, we may have been unlucky and were put up in a room that was a striking departure from the photos and the experiences described by most travelers. Room 210 had no windows, a small chair, a dirty headboard, and scratches- it did not look like the photos online. It was a strange experience. The staff was nice and very helpful. They recognized that the room should probably not be in use and offered a small token discount. Before booking a room with them, ensure you don't get put in such a room.

    We just loved the Tides, very beachy, very clean and modern and very close to the beach and other Laguna activities

    My daughter and I enjoyed our stay at the Tides. The staff, the heated pool, and room was all amazing!

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Lovely room. My only complaints: the electrical outlets didn't fit our plugs, and the water pressure was low. Otherwise, we really enjoyed our stay there.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    The staff were so welcoming and accommodating. We were greeted with a card and welcome treats. The rooms were clean and comfortable. Cannot beat the location!

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    We enjoyed our time there, felt safe and clean.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    The Hotel is beautiful, clean and close to everything: the impressive SJC Mission, many wonderful restaurants and the train depot. The man behind the counter was very helpful when I checked in.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Staff was very accommodating. Darling place with amazing location. Great value!

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Great place to stay for our family trip. Pool was warm. Free access to beach supplies (towels, umbrella, boogey boards, etc) was very helpful. Staff was friendly and helpful. So many things and beach within walking distance.
