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.

4/10 Fair

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.
