The perfect location for going to the beach & attending a wedding at Crescent Bay Point Park. Sal was so welcoming, accommodating & incredibly helpful with checking-in! Our ocean view room was updated & very clean. We had a wonderful stay & highly recommend it.

Arrived right at 10pm and owner was gracious to let us check in and get situated. It was dark so didn't see water but could hear it. Everything closed in town except the grab and go. Close to hotel to walk to and grab some snacks.

The location was amazing and we had such a great time! The room could use a few refreshing updates, but that’s pretty typical for a beachfront spot in such a prime location. Being so close to the beach made it completely worth it, and we really enjoyed our stay.

We stayed only one night and it was phenomenal! The innkeeper/owner (Sal) was beyond helpful, hospitable, and friendly. He provided lots of information on the place and surroundings. The room was very comfortable, clean, and had many extras like a fridge, keurig, microwave, bottled water (teas, coffee, plastic ware, beach towels, and extra water, available in the office). Outside there's a wonderful patio area, outdoor shower, and they have umbrellas, toys, and chairs, you can use for the beach. Great location and experience. Highly recommend!

If you plan to visit the city of Laguna Beach, it is totally advisable to stay here, the rooms are very spacious and very clean and in front desk, very friendly, besides the property is in a very calm and safe area and very serene of the main attractions, I recommend booking your room with sea view and for your car, do not worry, the parking lots are very safe.

The staff was extremely helpful and kind. The couple of concerns I encountered were that the shower was not working properly and was put together very unprofessionally. Also, the recommended route to the beach is not really appropriate for seniors as it is rocky and could be hazardous causing falls.

What a neat little place! I've been to a lot of the hotels in Laguna Beach, and I am adding this one to my list of "secret spots". Clean room with good amenities; short walk to the beach... all the little details make this a great getaway.
