Easy, Breezy Motel!

Great little motel in Laguna Beach within walking distance to beach and town. We wanted an easy staycation where we could park by our room, bring our own drinks to the pool and walk to restaurants and the beach. The Tides checked all the boxes. We also had a kitchenette which was a bonus. Would definitely recommend if you want something simple and reasonable.

Highly Recommend

Housekeeping wasn't done cleaning my room when I arrived, so they offered me another room, which turned out to be a spacious suite that was quiet and comfortable despite facing the street. Excellent restful stay, walking distance from the beach and Pageant of the Masters.

Everything was great. It smells like flowers on the whole property. The place is so well kept. You can tell the owners and staff take pride in this place. They also have beach stuff for you to use. Pool was great and the outdoor fireplace. Zero complaints.
