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.

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.

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.

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.

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?
