Not for us
Very noisy location. Room was a little too austere but the worst thing was the bed. It was so low we could hardly get in and out of it! The best thing about this place is the delightful staff.

Very clean and convenient to beach, shopping and dining. Little loud in the evening due to the proximity of PCH but that would be expected.

College dorm room or hotel room?
My hotel room was at the end of a corridor that felt like it was a walled off corner of the parking lot. The room itself felt creepy and overall poorly maintained. The air conditioning was broken, and in its place was a tiny portable heater and fan. Maybe the upstairs rooms are nicer, but if you have to stay in room 110, don’t!

Okay
Workers woke us up early talking loud. The shower was minimalist and made a mess with water splashing. For the cost I wish it was a better experience.

The hotell was perfectly located with a short walk to the beach and a bunch of restaurants. We also had a great view from our room. Will definitely stay here for my next Laguna Beach trip.

there were bugs in the room on the dresser and bed side table. the front desk was not able to give us another room, the gave us lysol wipes & spray. the shower was also broke. they said they could not give us any credit since we booked thru hotels.com. I should be given a credit for what I paid. this stay was unacceptable

Location was great! Room had a strong musty odor, was very utilitarian and didn’t even have a chair, although I was given one when I requested it.

Stayed at this hotel and had a great experience! The rooms were very clean and well-maintained, which made for a comfortable stay. The location was fantastic—just a short walk to the beach, so it was easy to enjoy the ocean whenever we wanted. I also appreciated the on-site parking, which made it convenient to come and go without worrying about finding a spot. Overall, a solid choice for a beach getaway!

GREAT LOCATION BUT NEEDS SOME REPAIRS
Service was great upon arrival. Location was great. Bed was comfortable. Our room was located right next to the pool equipment, so it was a bit noisy. The room needed some repairs as the bathroom door and baseboards were rotted out. The shower leaks all over the bathroom floor. The room smelled damp & musty.

Nothing fancy but very fair price. Perfect hotel if you need a place to sleep in Laguna Beach knowing you will spend most of the time at the beach or doing some shopping around. Rooms are clean and beds confortable. All I needed, would go back with no hesitation

The convenience of the property location was excellent. The room was nice, but loud from street noise. The shower was very slippery and the faucet connection didn't work which made it difficult to rinse down. Ant problem! The bed was comfortable.

We liked the location. The bed was very uncomfortable it felt scratchy, lumpy and made noises every time you moved. The shower puddles up the whole bathroom floor and the tv signal did not work.
