"Do not stay here. This hotel is extremely run down and nothing like the photos - it genuinely feels like false advertising. The difference between what is shown online and what you actually get is shocking. The room was in very poor condition, right on the highway with constant noise, and the walls are so thin you can hear everything from neighbouring rooms and upstairs. It also didn’t feel clean, which made the stay even more uncomfortable. We raised our concerns immediately and asked for a refund. The front desk advised that management only works 9–5 and refused to contact anyone outside those hours, which was incredibly frustrating and unhelpful. We were forced to stay one night and were moved to a different room. While it was quieter, it had a strong musty smell and was still well below an acceptable standard for the prices charged. This property urgently needs a full renovation, or to be taken off booking platforms altogether. Avoid at all costs. "

"Hotel has just undergone a management transition. New front desk staff were very helpful. Rooms and grounds are all in good condition. I paid more for a deluxe king room and it was smaller (no couch) than the regular king room my friends got. But I was on the top floor with a bit of an ocean view. My room door was glass and one wall was all windows facing a common walkway. The room needs better lighting as it was fairly dark. Mattress and bedding were very comfortable. Towels were thick and water pressure and temperature were fine. Pool area was well maintained with plenty of towels. The hotel advertises as adults only but there were young children at the pool. "

"My fiancée and I stayed in the Spanish queen, looked nothing like the pictures. The sink was wobbly, the room was humid, the shower was so small, our tv didn’t work. Staff couldn’t be bothered to greet guests. The parking structure was so small and not close to the hotel building. Only upside is it’s less than a minute from the beach. "

"Great place to stay! "

"Yes"

"Love this place. Ralph’s grocery store is next door and across from the beach. Definitely recommend "

"Great location above a beach with easy stair access to the sand and terraced areas to sit and enjoy the view. Staff was very friendly (shout out to Tyson at the front desk and Gabe, the valet!). My room (519 above reception) has recently been remodeled and has a partial ocean view. A bit of street noise from PCH will affect sleep if you keep a window open. Some rooms are apparently not renovated. Friends staying in 308 reported at outdated bathroom. Walking distance to shops and restaurants. Good value for the money in an expensive area. "

"A wonderful little find near the ocean in Laguna! Thank you "

"The staff was great. The hotel is very tiny, which we loved and close to the beach. Perfectly located next to the beach & restaurants. Will definitely be returning. "
