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.

While the property is on the older side, the room was clean and in great condition, and the bed was comfortable. The manager Sal was very friendly and provided great tips. The beach was a short 3-minute walk down a side path. The hotel provided beach towels, which was nice to have available.

Great location and value; staff was super nice and helpful. Love that you can walk to the beach directly from hotel. Beds are comfortable, but rooms and bathrooms need some renovation. Also would be nice to have a kettle to boil water inside a room - there is a coffee machine, but what if you’re not a coffee drinker?

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.

Staff was great! Incredibly accommodating and kind. I loved how the beach was walking distance. Room was clean but aged. Just needs a little update. I loved that there was free parking onsite but spaces were tight. If you have a smaller car it’s great but I don’t think a truck would fit.

This was our 3rd year staying at Crescent Bay and we love it. Sal and his family are wonderful hosts and the property is a short walk to a lovely beach. If you are seriously in Laguna to enjoy the beach, then this is a great little place to stay.
