2 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 June 2013 NEW

This facility features tiny rooms with sealed windows and an outdated, noisy air conditioning unit, scratched furniture, and all rooms located around a pool with lots of loud children. It's like a motel designed 50 years ago, which this likely was. To get privacy, you must pull the blackout curtains, resulting in a dark, airless, tiny, claustrophobic room. For twice... More

Pre booked this hotel for 7 nights as part of a surfing vacation for me and my teenage son and was not disappointed. The location is fantastic with a suitable surfers beach only one block away.

Obviously this hotel was originally built as a different property with a Spanish feel to it. The grounds are impeccably landscaped and the courtyard pool is a welcome retreat. Great location, on PCH, across from Ralph's market. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. While the room appeared a bit tired, it was quiet and comfortable. Lobby amenities included coffee,... More

When we arrived, our room wasn't ready yet but it was early. The staff was friendly and offered water and refreshments and we left to find lunch. Afterward, the room was ready, we... More

We stayed here one night on our way down to San Diego. The hotel is cute. The location makes it a perfect place to walk around Laguna, so it really doesn't need a lot of amenities - but it still did great. It took is a long time to check in. There were 2 couples from Texas who took forever... More

After an enjoyable yet intense three days at Disneyland Resort, we drove down the coast to Laguna Beach for a relaxing two night stay. This is a really cute hotel, with most, if not all, of the rooms surrounding an interior courtyard with a pool, which we used quite a bit (pretty sure it is heated as well). The staff... More

We stayed here in June 2012 with our two children ages 8 and 10. From the photos, the hotel looks beautiful, especially the pool. While it was fairly nice, but some areas around the pool were not clean at all. Our room was decent, but we were on the bottom floor near the corner of the pool. There always seemed... More
