Top Salt Creek Beach Hotel Reviews

Montage Laguna Beach

8/10 Good

"The overall experience is five star. They were able to help me get some flowers in the room, along with a "make your own margarita" kit which really impressed my partner. However, the margarita kit was supposed to be in the room before we got there, and despite our late arrival, it showed up late which interrupted"

Dana Point Marina Inn

8/10 Good

"We had excellent customer service upon check-in. The first room we were put into was going to be next to construction so we asked to be moved and got a room on the other side of the hotel with a view of the Marina that was perfect. This is an older hotel so it shows some wear, but it’s an excellent location at a good price with a very good breakfast in the morning. We will be back."

Laguna Cliffs Marriott Resort and Spa

8/10 Good

"even though the property was under construction, the staff did an excellent job! although, i didn't expect to be paying an additional 300 for an upgraded room did not get. they promised a pool view at booking and had me over construction site, then i paid for upgraded pool view, and they still had me at a separate half construction half Oceanview room. i was not informed this would be the case. i only received one day credit. it would have been nice to receive credit for both days stay."

Best Western Plus Marina Shores Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"THANKS"

Le Petit Pali Laguna Beach

8/10 Good

"I think the most important feature of any hotel review is: Would you go back? In this case, emphatically- yes. It’s a smaller place, not some grand resort on massive acreage, so if that’s what you want, this isn’t it. But, if you want quiet, comfortable, well-appointed, professionally designed rooms and grounds; this is an excellent choice. We’d never been to Laguna, so we were pleasantly surprised by LPP’s proximity to beaches and restaurants, but the mimosas+continental breakfast on the patio each morning meant we didn’t have to leave the property for great service and a quality meal to start our days. Again, we’d go back."

The Ritz-Carlton, Laguna Niguel

10/10 Excellent

"This is such a beautiful hotel. The views are stunning and the service is impeccable."

Blue Lantern Inn, A Four Sisters Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Truly enjoyed the Inn and the staff were so helpful."

The Ranch at Laguna Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful property hidden in a canyon just across from the beach. Really wonderful if you don’t want to be right on the beach and you want your privacy and serenity."
