Don't stay at The Tides - Our Experience
Our stay was awful. As soon as we walked in we noticed the filthy circle carpet, lifted it up and saw a ring of dirt on the floor. The front desk came in and vacuumed (not cleaned). The picture shows the floor after we asked for it to be cleaned - my wife wiped the floor. Once the front desk attendant left. We had to ask for our room to be cleaned the next day. When we returned to our room, the door was left open so anyone could've walked in and taken our belongings. Of the four bathroom towels we received, one had large dirt stains all over it. Late Saturday night in the grass area outside everyone's rooms, there was a party going on with people running back and forth along the hallways keeping our 1 year old up and our dog barking at the people coming by our door. When we called security they arrived about an hour later and we heard the next morning the security officer said it wasn't loud when he arrived, so he did nothing. It cemented the fact that we should get a travel trailer. Do not spend your hard-earned money here.

Real cool spot. I got the 1 bedroom King. Real clean, updated and pretty quiet. I didnt hear anything crazy or super loud. I stayed on a saturday. Good spot to stay if youre checking out Pismo. Also a $40 Uber to SLO or 10 minute drive. I would definitely stay again. I wont stay if prices hike up. Competitive price but i feel like other options might be better at a lower cost. Over all it was all good. Yes, the shower is a little small. Might have dificult fitting two people in it comfortably. Also, yes half the shower door is missing. Yes some water will bounce off you onto the floor near the toulet paper and toilet. If youre careful, you can avoid that. It didnt bother me personally but it is strange to see that. Im not sure if theyre planning on adding something to stop that, but doesbt seem like it.

I like the convenience to the beach. While room was clean and updated, room was drafty. Needed shower curtain as half wall did not work well in keeping water from going on floor. Also, need additional towel racks.

We were forgotten about and ended up with late check in, even though we were there at 2 30. Our tvs didn't work, and we were sent a technician to help that was unable to get any of them in the cottage to work. Compared to the photos, everything in the cottage was just dirty and worn down. Staff was very friendly though.
