Loved the hotel! It’s so pretty and so close to all the action at night but not too close where it’s hard to get back to your hotel. The rooftop bar was our favorite please don’t let that hidden gem be missed on your trip!

Roof closed too early and opened too late. Snack breakfast was too simple. AC was loud and obnoxious. Free parking was a plus I guess. Bed was okay.

So relaxing

I came in a weary traveler to the front desk, I was early could I park my car in the hotel parking lot and walk around, Yes Natalie said!! She also pointed out the rooftop bar that was open....let the relaxation begin. The rooftop bar needs some updating and love but it is on the roof! View was the ocean. Food was so so My room was amazing it was the individually decorated surf room! So cool so southen Calif looking. Very spacious room and bathroom was clean and updated. I also went walking and right next door was a place to get a facial and/or massage. I had a very needed walk on the beach which is just a few steps away. I will return.

A Charming Gem in Laguna Beach I had a lovely stay at La Casa del Camino while celebrating my birthday with a quick, grounding staycation. The staff was incredibly kind, welcoming, and respectful from the moment we arrived. There’s something special about staying at the oldest hotel in Laguna Beach (established in 1929!) — it carries a sense of timeless charm and character you don’t get in modern places. The room was clean and well-maintained. The bed was a bit on the firm side, but overall the facilities were neat and in great condition. One of the best parts was the location — just steps from the beach, which made it perfect for a peaceful early morning walk along the shore. While I didn’t get a chance to enjoy the rooftop due to overcast weather and our short stay, I look forward to doing so on my next visit. I also wish the cantina/restaurant had been open, but I understand that can vary depending on the season. This place is affordably priced, full of character, and supported by a truly wonderful staff. I will definitely be coming back. Thank you, Casa del Camino, for a memorable birthday retreat! —Claudia

This place was in a convenient location. The beach is two houses down from the hotel. It had a rooftop restaurant and the access to that area passed in front of some of the guest rooms. So you could hear conversations as people passed in front of your room. The room was nicely updated and was really well done. Unfortunately there was an odor in the room that did not dissipate and we were told it’s an old facility and they have been trying to rectify it. Staff was awesome, accommodating, friendly and quick to respond to concerns. There was plenty of food options within walking distance and the place had a relaxing vibe. We would stay there again.

The hotel was only semi updated. Some furniture were rusted. The AC was a portable unit and didn’t function well. The sink had only cold water. The hot water came and went away. The breakfast was pre-packed snacks. The parking lot was a block from the hotel and with no guard and no surveillance camera. My car was tampered and the engine was left on for over night (the thief can’t drive it for the anti-theft set up(. The hotel staff didn’t notify me until 9am. After check-out, no receipt was provided via email while I was told that the receipt of the resort fee will be emailed to me. When I called to follow-up and questioned them about the charges, the rep was rude and said she doesn’t know the charges and that I should call Expedia. For all of the reason above, I would not go back and will not recommend the hotel.

Anniversary trip!

My husband and I made this trip to celebrate our Anniversary. This is a super cute, quaint boutique hotel in a perfect location. Shops and restaurants all around and a short walk to the beach. The roof top bar is awesome! There is a restaurant downstairs that we thought of trying but it was completely empty every time we walked by. Our room was on the 3rd floor, which is right above the lobby. One night there was a loud group having a fun time in the lobby. The noise really carries up to the 3rd floor, which made it hard to fall asleep that night. Also, the bed/pillows are not very comfortable. If you are traveling from close by, bring your own pillow! Overall, great stay, we enjoyed it!

We stayed on third floor and it had pretty good views of the ocean. There is a restaurant and bar above this floor and you can hear the chairs moving around during the day but it’s not horrible. It opens at 10am and closes at 10pm and then it’s quiet. It serves good food and drinks and has good views of the ocean. Parking for the hotel is across the street and a half a block away. The bus stops are within a block. A small beach is a two minute walk from the front door. Keep an eye on small kids as there are rocks off shore. The hotel has live music in the lobby occasionally. It was just a one or two piece ensemble and a nice touch. Check with the hotel to see if anybody is playing while you’re there. There is lots of shopping along the main drag. The Pageant and the Sawdust is a good 2 or 3 miles away. There is parking across the street from the Pageant, which is expensive but good for the day. We were there for the Fourth of July weekend and traffic was heavy, be patient, it does move and dies down in the evening.
