Dana Point Marina Inn

8/10 Good

"Location"

Best Western Plus Marina Shores Hotel

8/10 Good

"Nice staff . Decent room for the price and centrally located. Office chair was broken. The protein (wet sausage patties)and hot breakfast was marginal. Coffee was good. Daily Parking fees were a surprise and should not exist. $25/ day which then start you wonder about value."

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."

Waldorf Astoria Monarch Beach

8/10 Good

"Beautiful property with good service. The beach experience could be better , expected food and drink service. Dining options are limited and service at the bar is not enough for all the people."

Blue Lantern Inn, A Four Sisters Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Delious breakfast. Excellent staff."

Le Petit Pali Laguna Beach

10/10 Excellent

"This unique boutique hotel is charming! It was quite a walk to the beach, however worth every step. The amenities, especially the steamer were greatly appreciated as we had traveled and needed to freshen dress clothes for a wedding. A great stay and I’d highly recommend."

The Ritz-Carlton, Laguna Niguel

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful property and wonderful views of the ocean !!"
