Staff very friendly and welcoming and allowed early check- in when room was ready with no additional fee. Room and property was basic but very clean and fairly priced. Slightly obstructed but nice view of beach from room. Convenient walk to beach. In Laguna for the Pagent of the Masters and a short walk to the free trolley. Will come again.

Location is close to beach and parking is included in the rate, rooms are renovated and well appointed with comfy bed, excellent shower. We had a quiet room with a little sliver ocean view and could hear the waves. Sal is really nice and helpful about the trolly to festivals and restaurant options. Good for a quick overnight or cheap weekly stay a short distance from the super crowded main beach area.

We have stayed at several properties in Laguna over the years and all the rooms are basically the same. What sets The Crescent Bay Inn apart is the caring staff who go out of their way to make sure you're comfortable and needs are met

Property was just ok. We are use to cleaner places. Very dark inside room. We stayed 4 days and no house keeping. The owner was very nice and helpful. Free water and coffee. I would not stay there again because the rooms were very outdated. Close to beach but no restaurants. Parking was a nightmare.

The property and location were really good. The oceanview room could see the water through trees & over other rooftops which I enjoyed as it was a cozy local kind of view. The location was near enough to stuff in the city without being in an overly busy area, and you can walk to the beach and overlooks. On our arrival day, though, we received an email asking us for arrival time. I responded with an estimate, but a few hours later we received a phone call asking for our arrival time again. I've never had a hotel *call* to ask for an arrival time (email, yes) and was pretty annoyed because it interrupted our vacation activities to verbally ask a question we'd already responded to via email. Parking was free/onsite, but very tight because it's underneath the accommodations, so you need to be careful with larger vehicles. I appreciated the Starbucks k cups in the room, but there was only 1 bar of soap for hand washing & showers (fortunately we had extra in our bag) and the shampoo/conditioner was a combo ("conditioning shampoo") in tiny plastic envelope packets. We got by with those since we were only there 1 night, but for the hotel price & location I was surprised by the low quality toiletries and would definitely purchase something else to use if I was there more than 1 night.
