Anderson gave 5star customer service! It was raining when I checked out and he offered to carry my luggage out to my car for me. Check-in was a breeze and all the personal touches in the room were wonderful. This hotel is a gem and I will definitely stay there 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.

Great place and great service! However, our room had an extremely small shower due to the property’s 80 plus years since opening. Besides that, great place to stay on PCH without spending a fortune.

Had a wonderful family stay here, boogie boards and beach chairs were a nice surprise! A few room repairs need tending to, but overall great place with chill vibe.

Location, location, location!

Everyone working there was helpful, welcoming, and appreciative. We had a very nice room on the top floor facing the ocean. The location of The Tides is what makes it so special. We never needed to use our car. Restaurants, art galleries, lovely shops, entertainment, and the breathtaking views of the ocean from the nearby paved trail were all within walking distance even for me, a woman in her 70s. We hope to return someday.

Coziest place to stay by the sea, especially if you want something simple and quaint. The only issue was the connection to the wifi. Other than that, the husband and I agreed we'd choose to stay at this place again
