Laguna Beach House

10/10 Excellent

"It is a cozy feeling hotel. We all loved our stay!"

Laguna Cove Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing price for a beautiful ocean view. I had to check in late and the staff was so kind to accommodate us after our wedding had ended late. It was a mini get away after just getting married and it couldn’t have been more perfect. I will recommend this place to everyone. All staff members were so kind and the place is so beautiful. 5+ stars!"

14 West Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"14West hotel is a great place to stay. The rooms are spotlessly, clean and well appointed. The staff is unbelievably helpful. I cannot say enough good things about this hotel."

"Great getaway"

The Tides Laguna Beach

10/10 Excellent

"The Tides ALWAYS delivers ! Every time ! We love coming here , and walk to swimmable beach just down the road, excellent location to everything !"

SCP Seven4One

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay! Very clean property and all the staff was super kind and helpful! We booked a sea facing room which was really large with almost a living room and a bedroom. Our king size bed and pillows were super comfy! There was a shared deck space with ocean view right outside our window. As long as we kept the curtains closed, anyone out there couldn’t see us in our room. The main hotel had a pool and hot tub for our use and beach front. Unfortunately we didn’t have time to use the pool or hot tub. And we walked to Main Beach because there was a lot more space. This hotel was easily in walking distance to the main beach and the main town. And we walked from our hotel to see the views from Heisler park. Our first time in Laguna Beach. We can’t wait to go back and we would stay at this hotel again!"

Arabella Laguna

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent location: walk to Heisler Park, Crescent Bay Park, downtown/restaurants, Pageant of the Masters. Pavilions market nearby as well as several SB coastal trolley stops. Clean and well-stocked room, free parking provided. Communicative property manager responds promptly to questions/concerns. Overall great experience!"

Laguna Surf

10/10 Excellent

"I love this location. It is so close to the beach, you cannot beat it! And you cannot beat the views! Cozy and convenient...hidden gem!"
