Overnight getaway.
The accommodations and location were excellent. Enjoyed morning coffee from the ocean view balcony. Beach access directly across PCH. Great restaurants within walking distance. Friendly and helpful staff. Just a few areas of concern...The check-in process was more involved than expected, requiring an almost intrusive level of providing identification. Additionally, the TV operation required way too much interaction, downloads and fussiness required to simply watch local programming. Once we checked in however, all was good and our stay was quite worth the effort. We'll be back.

Highly satisfied with Sonder!
I had an incredible stay at Sonder La Ensenada in Laguna Beach! The location is unbeatable—just a short walk from the beautiful beach and close to great restaurants and shops. The room was modern, clean, and thoughtfully designed, with all the amenities you need for a comfortable stay. I loved the self-check-in process, which was seamless and convenient. The overall atmosphere of the hotel is peaceful and relaxing, perfect for a beach getaway. The bed was super comfortable, and I appreciated the small touches like the quality toiletries and fully stocked kitchen. The staff was friendly and responsive whenever I needed assistance. I would highly recommend this hotel for anyone looking to experience the best of Laguna Beach.

6/10 Good

Overall ok, good location
After 2 nights, we had to change rooms as we could not sleep due to a very loud cricket in the air conditioner. The staff were friendly enough to help us switch rooms, which had a nice little view of the ocean next to the PCH. We did go from a King Bed (new bathroom) to a Queen Bed (old bathroom), but it was ok, better than the first room as we had no natural light coming in. Location was good, easy to walk to nearby coffee shops and straight across the road was the ocean. Downfall - You have to pay for parking downstairs which really should be included in the price of your stay. The carpark was empty! Being international tourists, we parked on the street, finding a free park a block up and ended up getting a $60 parking ticket. Staff were friendly, place was somewhat renovated but still kinda dated.. photos make it look better than it was. Probably paying for the location more than anything.

Disappointed - tired hotel with dirty rooms
The whole place is tired and rundown and desperately in need of renovation. We were disappointed and had expected more. The hotel was reasonably inexpensive but as they provide very little in the way of staff and extras I still expected a clean and well maintained property and, sadly, this was not the case. In addition the air conditioning system was ridiculously loud. So you either got too hot at night or couldn't sleep because of the noise of the air conditioning system.

Trenton checked us in and was especially friendly and helpful. We heard early morning construction, hammering, drilling etc. next to our room, but overall it was a pleasant stay. Staff onsite were gracious and very attentive, providing extra towels and toiletries when needed. We'll be back again.

Clean and spacious. Balcony was nice. Road noise was no issue for me, but the room was equipped with ear plugs regardless. Very easy, no fuss, stay.

The overall property was very nice. The air conditioner in our room was fairly loud, even with the earplugs provided by Sonder. There seemed to be a lot of gnats in the sink in our room which was strange. The location is unbearable. Right next to the beach and walkable to a lot of great shops and food.

The only reason to stay here is because of location. This room was so deep in the basement that there was 0 light and no cell phone service - the phones were literally on SOS. The wifi at the property does not work well, so despite staff efforts to give alternative options, we could not connect our cell phones to the wifi and basically had to deal with having no connectivity to the outside world when in the room. This did not feel safe nor did it make it easy or comfortable to do/schedule/communicate with anyone or anything. Additionally, the floors were really dirty, you can't walk barefoot and coming out of the shower left literally black prints all over the floor. I wouldn't stay here or recommend it.

4/10 Fair

It’s nothing the hotel did or didn’t do. I felt like Expedia showed the hotel to be something a little more upscale. I was expecting a little more upscale and I cannot stand bare vinyl floors. Everything sticks to your feet. Shower left a bit to be desired. I could not get my door code to work 1/2 the time, staff had to give me a key. Light would not turn off inside the room or bathroom and I didn’t know how to turn off the motion sensor part. Location is great, staff is super friendly and helpful, and the property is really clean. Just wasn’t my style.
