My husband and I made an executive decision to leave the hotel soon after we checked in. It's a flea bag that charges the prices of a 3 or 4 star hotel. Caveat emptor. more

We booked our second stay here because of the beach access. That's all. We booked the ocean view. When we decided to go a day early, we could only get the partial ocean view and found out what others wrote regarding the traffic noise. When we moved to our ocean view room, nights were much better. This place has character... more

The positives things about the Hotel Laguna: Historical building, small private beach, located in the heart of town. Not so positive: No ac, so when it is July you must open the window for cool air but the noise from the street below is horrible!!! The noise lasted ALL night! In our Village room the bed was hard as a... more

This hotel purposely overbooks, then lies to guests about cancelling rooms upon arrival. The lie takes this form: guest: Hi, I have a room reserved. hotel employee: You called and cancelled it last night. guest: No I didn't. Why would I do that then show up for my room? hotel employee: I'm sorry. Someone cancelled your room. guest: Who? Can... more

Rooms are hideous... Employees are less than helpful, and upon check-in I watched them deny 5 people that had confirmed reservations telling them that they should look somewhere else. more

I've been going to The Hotel since I was a little girl and love it so much I'm planning my wedding there next month. It is a small, intimate hotel, lovely and romantic. While I admit the food and drinks are ridiculously overpriced (it's Laguna), the staff are helpful and pleasant when they are treated with respect. The Village Rooms... more

We stayed at the Hotel Laguna for a wedding on the beach. It was absolutely breathtaking! I highly recommend this place for anyone considering a beach wedding. Apparently, it is one of the most affordable beachfront properties available for weddings in southern California. The wedding reception was in the Laguna room and the views were lovely. Our original hotel room... more

My best friend and I stayed at the Hotel Laguna for a "girls weekend," the big draw of this hotel was the "private beach." When we arrived, the lobby was lovely, but it smelled like a gas station bathroom that had just been cleaned, and the smell lasted for our entire visit. The elevator up to our room was a... more

Don't do it! There's NO air conditioning. Can you believe that? Southern California, and no air conditioning! We waited about 15 minutes to be served at check-in. The lobby staff were very dismissive and took their sweet time getting to us. Once checked in, we went up to our room. Our room was VERY tiny. It fit the bed, and... more
