Big smelly place for your Uncle Bob to stay where he can smoke his butts in peace. Not only did the room smell like a smoker was still in the place but the short walk to the beach was right past a sewage lift station. Even at 100$ it ws no bargain.

Wow, imagine getting to stay in a clean, huge suite of rooms, just down the block from the pricey Montage resort, for just under a Ben Franklin! I cannot say enough about this amazing bargain that is literally steps to the beautiful and pristine Aliso Creek beach in Southern California. Our room was literally about twice the size of an...

Surrounded by nature, fresh air, 1 block to the beach, I love this retro peaceful get away. Birds, deer, lizards, squirrels are in this granite canyon and creek. The 9-hole golf course is gorgeous. In the summer, they have movies on the 1st green for the kids. I haven't had an opportunity to have a Bloody Mary at the golf... More

The units are large and some (like the one we booked) can accomodate a family of 6 (5 adults, 1 child). The pool and hot tub are conveniently located and the adjacent 9 hole golf course is well kept and intersting to play. We stayed here 30 years ago and not much has changed. This place badly needs an influx... More

I wanted to find a safe and reasonably priced hotel that was between San Diego and LA within a 1 1/2 hour drive of LAX. The bonus was that I had a few hours to kill in the morning so I wanted something near a beach town like Dana Point or Laguna Beach where I could find great food and... More

depsite reading the bad reviews, i booked the family into the aliso creek inn to conclude a beach day without having to drive home to pasadena. my thought process went like this: it's on the beach, the property warrants investment, we're only staying for a night, and we get two full bedrooms. how bad can it be? really bad. the...

I love this hotel! My fiancé surprised me with a 21/2 day getaway from home with this place. The location is in walking distance of Aliso Creek Beach, but set back in a canyon that was like an oasis in the middle of the busy beach town. A beautiful can encircled us, a creek that ran down one side of... More

We checked in for our anniversary and a visit with local family. We knew that it would not be fancy, but really, it was just downright gross. We had a great location and the space is great, but it is so old and dingy that we couldn't even sit on the couch. The room had a strange smell that just... More

This property while beautiful on the website, looks like a not-so-well preserved piece of the 1980's. Rotted wood everywhere, no air conditioning (two portable fans) for two floors, patio doors with insufficient security (broken locks), housekeeping in 5 days consisted of "fresh towels". Everything from the kitchen to the furniture is outdated, dirty and not maintained by any stretch of... More
