The hotel was clean, nice, and overall I had a good experience. However, our room was right next to the laundry room, and the noise was quite loud, especially when we were trying to rest. I would recommend assigning quieter rooms to guests when possible.

I I'm limited on where I can stay because I have a little pug. But I picked the Tides, and I was very happy when I first saw it. It's beautiful, it's white, and the view of the ocean is fantastic. I was in a small room, a king-size bed, because I have the dog and don't need anything special. There was plenty of room to take her for walks. A lot of people had dogs. I was a little disappointed that there was a refrigerator in the room, but no microwave. There's a restaurant next door that you can order from, but it's a small town and everything is very close. Anyway, I loved it. I'll be back, and I really enjoyed it.

The room was clean and well maintained. I was unable to locate an iron in the room. I did not inquire with the front desk though, either. The view from the property was gorgeous. Fire pits were a great added feature, as well as the lounge chairs outside our room.

Hidden Gem! Very clean little spot with nice rooms and terrific views. While about 1 mile from the beach, they offer free bike rentals which is a nice amenity. Plenty of parking Check in and check out is a breeze The restaurant next door Blast & Brew is convenient and offers some solid food options if you don't feel like trekking back down to the beach area. I've stayed here twice, once because it looked convenient when I was riding the PCH, and this second time intentionally because I liked it so much. Pricing here is very reasonably as well.
