"14 West" is located on PCH. It is not on the view side of S Coast Highway; the beach is located…read moreacross the street. Given this: the walk from the hotel to the beach is short. (The hotel has some beach accessories available for rent.) It's also an easy walk to PCH (x) Forest Ave, where there is a concentration of bars, restaurants and shopping. If you are on S Coast Highway, arriving by car, look for the Ralph's grocery store. Turn onto Cleo St. You will see the hotel's parking lot entrance, on your left-hand side, before you reach Glenneyre St. There are a number of short-term parking slots near the hotel lobby; but I would avoid using those, for a number of reasons. Parking is $35/day, plus taxes ($39.99 total). Staff at the front desk found my reservation easily, and the check in process was fast. This is a smaller hotel; there might be only one team member at the desk. If there is a surge of activity, there might be a bit of a wait. With reference to the room assigned to me: The carpets were clean; there were no obvious stains or tears. The furniture was clean, without significant bumps or bruises. The TV worked well. The bedsheets were not plush; but they were spotless, with no signs of excessive wear. I have experienced better mattresses in hotels at this price point; but the mattress here was reasonably comfortable. The bathroom is where you might see the most wear and tear; but the bathroom here was very clean. The towels were not plush, but they were clean, hefty and in good condition. There was a shower (no bathtub). The hotel room was well maintained, but its decor was a bit dated. Based on the room's layout, my guess is that the hotel (as we see it today) was designed in the 1970s. But I also suspect the original structure is even older. The room had a window air conditioner. It was a bit loud; but it worked well. It also had a space heater (no central heating). All in all, it was a good stay. Other random notes: It is interesting that they installed key card locks; but they have reverted to using keys (maybe for maintenance reasons). You might hear footsteps from the room above you. If you are in your room during pool hours, you will hear activity. There are table lamps on the nightstands besides the bed. You turn these lights on by tapping the left side of the base. I learned this by accident, while searching for on/off switches. You are paying a premium to stay in Laguna Beach, versus a comparable hotel in a neighboring city, as close as 15 min (car ride) away. However, I was attending a reception, and the venue was a block away from this hotel. I booked my room using a travel aggregator. Room prices can vary wildly, based on dynamic pricing.

We don't allow housekeeping into our room when we stay anywhere so it was perfect for us that they don't offer it here. You can come into the lobby and help yourself to things you need. We love that. If you are looking for some super fancy posh motel then this isn't for u. This is an older property and just has your basics and it's right near the beach. First time we've ever had a legitimately cold fridge in any hotel though which was fantastic. You get covered parking in a garage stall. Highly recommend.

The room was so clean with a great shower and the refrigerator and microwave were a huge plus as well as the AC, which kept the room nice and cool. The walk to the beach was three minutes and was perfect for both day and night beach access. Would definitely stay here again. Not to mention the parking is free which is a total bonus in Laguna! Love this place it's a hidden gem especially for the price during the summer!

Located in the north part of Laguna Beach on the north coast highway, it's a block-ish from the…read morebeach with partial ocean views from top rooms, bottom has more limited views, just views of a small, but clean pool. Rooms were spacious, clean, looks more newly renovated. I'm not sure if all the rooms do, but ours had a nice little balcony out the back of the bathroom. Nice selection of mini bar, lots of snacks and drinks to choose from, it's Wine o'clock Happy Hour in the lobby (free red or white wine with yummy warm cookies). The hotel lends out umbrellas, beach chairs, and towels if you want to go walk the 10 minutes to the beach. There are loads of restaurants and boutiques within walking distance too. I think it's $50 a night for a car? I'm not quite sure, but it was around there. It's quiet, convenient, clean, and we would probably stay there again.

I can't say enough good things about this hotel and their incredible staff. Unfortunately, I had to…read morecancel my stay due to a family emergency, and during such a difficult time, the kindness and understanding they showed meant everything to me. A special thank you to the manager Cole, who truly went above and beyond. Despite the cancellation policy, they took the time to listen, showed genuine compassion, and helped arrange a full refund. That level of care and humanity is rare, and it did not go unnoticed. While I wasn't able to stay this time, this experience alone has made me a loyal customer. I will absolutely be booking here in the future and recommending this hotel to friends and family. Thank you again for your empathy and outstanding service during a very difficult moment.

My room was extremely clean for the duration of my stay. The gentleman who checked me out at the end of my stay was very pleasant. However, I am only giving three stars because first impressions are lasting and the woman who was working the Office check-in desk when I arrived made me feel like an annoyance who was interrupting her work. She was efficient but less than welcoming during the check-in process. Unfortunately, I had to interact with this woman two more times during my stay and each interaction was equally unpleasant. My goal in staying at The Tides was to destress but she made me feel like "Bad Dog". Soon after checking in, I had to return to the Office to ask for assistance with accessing the WiFi and a day later, I had to ask for assistance with accessing the pool. I assumed that I needed to use my hotel key to open the gate to the pool. The Office woman made me feel like a fool when she rolled her eyes and said in a tone that I interpreted as exasperated, "There's a latch at the upper top corner of the gate." She was right. There was a latch but it was painted the same color as the gate and I didn't notice it. I only noticed the key hole. My bad. As I floated in the pool, I said to myself, "You are Bad Dog." Someone needs to explain to this Office woman that without these pesky visitors, her business will have no customers and she will have no job.

Cute room in general and very on trend. It seems like it was renovated recently and is very hip…read more Something that didn't translate on Yelp tho was how much smaller the bathroom and shower are, like very small but brand new and very clean. The bedroom room is not large either but it was me and my BF and it was fine for the two of us. Would be perfect for a solo traveler. Alkaline water fountain in the courtyard area that you can fill your bottles up with! I have never seen alkaline water fountains and now I'm obsessed. In the room, they have a cool pour over coffee set up, a mini fridge and a microwave, and really lovely products (especially love the soap). But, there are some things that needed attention (broken TP holder, grate in shower) and when we checked out we told woman at office, Donna, and she was great and said she would sent the maintenance worker there right away. Had a billing issue but Donna resolved it promptly. They also have a USB port right by the beds which is great cuz we forgot our connector. Room was very clean and the bed is hella comfortable with a down comforter and down throw pillows. They also have a full set of dishes on the table but if you get take out, know you can have full plates. We just went out for food but were good perks. They also have a super comfy Hammock!!! All in all, a small cozy room, nice location and excellent amenities!

I truly enjoyed my stay Laguna Beach lodge. I was in town for work, funnily enough opening a hotel…read morethat I had ample opportunity to stay at for free as an employee, but once I saw that the lodge was available for booking, I needed to try it out for myself! I booked a king room the night before I arrived and got a thorough text from Chris about my check in time (which I was granted an early 1p check in without even asking!), parking, amenities and how to use the app for my room key. All points were covered and Chris really set up a seamless, contactless experience. The location was ideal, right across from the Montage resort - open to the public. I walked down to the beach most nights and got a good workout while at it, prepare for stairs. I had dinner at the amazing Starfish Laguna next door to the lodge and got groceries at Gelson's at the same plaza. I'll let the pictures speak for themselves. My room was beautiful. Ample seating, a cozy dining area, a kitchenette with a full sized fridge and microwave, beach chairs included in the closet, spacious bathroom (for a solo traveling gal) and a comfy bed with extra blankets in storage. Roku tv included for entertainment. My room was on the farther end of the property, where my view was the edge of a hill lol but I honestly loved the quiet, spacious corner room. Despite the lack of a physical key, I felt very safe in this space and barely noticed sounds from neighbors. I would love to stay here at any time! The hospitality extended from Chris and the product itself were *chefs kiss*.

We stayed in the Yellow cottage and it was just perfect for three of us. The king size bed was very comfy and even the pullout couch was surprisingly decent and comfortable. The linens and towels were upscale. Very fresh and clean. Kitchen had beyond the few basics including dishes, flatware, full size fridge with freezer, and a nice coffee maker to make fresh coffee. The location was ideal because it was so quiet-no noise from PCH. Very close to town, just a few minutes' drive. Very good communication and tips on staying at the cottages. Sean was extremely helpful and very prompt with replies. Some of the one star reviews are quite outdated. Years ago. Both the living room and bedroom of our yellow cottage had wonderfully quiet ceiling fans and there was air-conditioning. We stayed in a particularly warm November of 2025 and kept the windows slightly a jar all day and even in the evening - it was ideal. FYI: The front entrance has quite a few stairs. Steep stairs. There's a back entrance accessed via the high school parking lot that made it easier to load and unload, but still a bit of a challenge for us seniors with rolling suitcases (and a recent hip replacement ;)). Still, we managed and would definitely stay here again!

What is provided? A sad collection of cheap, warped plastic utensils. To top it off, the sink is partially blocked, there is some black mold on the ceiling, and there's peeling paint on the walls. The remote for the sound system doesn't work, and the rugs are filthy. The hose on the deck by the beach to clean off your feat has 2 inches of sand on it so you come out with dirtier feet than when you walked in. It's shocking to encounter this level of neglect at this premium price point. The saving graces are the truly spectacular view of the beach, and easy beach access during low tide. Beds are comfortable enough. Overall, certainly underwhelming for the price point, but despite not meeting our expectations we enjoyed our stay. With just a little more effort this place could really shine.
