Receptionist was lovely and efficient. Room very clean, loved the bed. Pillows way too hard, but I slept well. Sunset stunning. And waking up to the sound of the ocean was lovely.

Wonderful Updated Hotel
Facility is an older motel that has been updated and modernized very nicely. Everything was clean and appealing. Hotel is very close to downtown dining and access to current stores in very convenient. We will go back!

Perfect beachside stay with great views.
Fantastic location with safe parking and easy access to stores, gas stations, fast food restaurants, and the freeway. It’s just a couple of miles from the Pismo Pier, with plenty of beach access points nearby. I highly recommend Blast & Brew for great food and excellent service. Tides In treats you like family, making check-in and check-out a breeze. The rooms are clean, spacious, and equipped with a fridge and coffee maker. Plus, the big-screen TVs make it easy to unwind after a day at the beach. The property is just steps from the sand, offering incredible views and breathtaking sunsets. There are comfortable seating areas to relax, play cornhole, or simply people-watch. It’s also just a short drive to Avila Beach, adding even more to explore. Overall, The Tides Ocean View Inn & Cottages was the perfect getaway—well worth the time and money. I’ll definitely be staying here again.

8/10 Very good

The rooms are newly renovated and clean. The bathroom will need some bleach down the drain to remove foul smells.

Sewer smell in room and additional charges
Room was cute upon entrance and seemed newer paint etc. Throughout the night we noticed an increased sewer smell radiating from the bathroom, seemed to come from the shower drain. The lobby was closed already so we had to keep bathroom door shut to control the smell. We did stay on New Years Eve and fire pits on site so close at 10pm and there is a quiet ordinance following that, I reached out to the front desk to see if that still held true due to the holiday and they said yes. Window coverings in room to outside where not privacy coverings or black out; anyone would have been able to see clearly into our room as they walked by the entire evening. Also did not realize I would be charged through hotels.com for the room then the property would charge a pre auth hold for the room amount again plus an additional amount.

Just enough. Served it’s purpose. Nice location but nothing fancy

10/10 Exceptional

We LOVED this place!!! We had only planned to stay one night but as soon as we opened the door we knew we wanted to stay 1 more night. The rooms are very simple, bright and clean!! A bit dated but renovations are going to be done. We stayed at alot of hotels on our vacation and the rooms were all the same but this place had charm! By far our favorite hotel on our trip!! The staff were all really great too!! If we ever get back to Pismo Beach, this will be our place!!
Brenda, 1-night trip

Nice, but run down
Nice view of the ocean, but the room was run down and out dated. There was no way to access the beach from this hotel but had to go to the neighboring hotel to get down to the sand. The beach was beautiful.

One day trip on the way to LA
The location is ok but the room needs lots of renovations. Don’t be fooled by the photos. You got to see the actual rooms. The woke property needs total repairs v

The room smelled like feet and was filthy. No AC. The staff was very pleasant.

10/10 Exceptional

Second time at The Tides. Definitely can see pride of new ownership. It’s an older hotel but rooms are generous in size and thought was put into welcoming guests (fan in room, free local tortilla chips, etc). It was nice to have chairs outside our room to enjoy the weather. Wish they had multiple vending machines as it was out of order during our trip. Will be back in the future.
Cory, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Hotel is so run down. Walls are paper thin, 1/2 inch crack around the door so light and bugs could get thru. Bathroom was very run down seemed like foundation was sinking. Road noise, sketchy area.
Chanelle, 5-night trip

4/10 Fair

No access to beach from this property. The advertised photos of view of the beach from rooms are misleading. Partial view from rooms are not something which you can enjoy, you really need stand on certain location of the room and then with certain angle you can see little bit of water. Bathrooms are really old, showers are tiny. There are better properties around this location.

Nothing smells horrible

we stayed 2 nights and asked for towels for the next day to shower and they stated they didn’t do room service everyday and didn’t have extra towels to give out. This is unsanitary, dissatisfied with the experience at this location

My son got hurt!
There is a wall heater just at the level where children can reach it, my son cut his finger open on this heater! We are extremely upset that there are dangerous objects at children level of a place you come for a vacation and to relax not to get hurt!

False advertising
Extremely disappointing stay. Thought I woukd "splurge" on a nice ocean view hotel. Hotel was outdated, ugly, stuffy, just had a standing fan, no ocean view at all and most definitely not worth the price. Have stayed at much better cheaper hotels. Shower was so tiny and poorly lit. Accident waiting to happen. Bad room set up. Can only watch TV from one of the beds. Disgusting all around!
