Just returned from another wonderful visit to Laguna Beach, this time staying at the Pacific Edge Hotel in a ocean-front room (Reef Building). Check-in was friendly & seamless - front desk was very helpful. The room was truly right on the beach - at high tide the waves literally were crashing under my deck! The bed was super comfy &...

I have stayed here many times back when it was Vacation Village. There are some things that I wished would have stayed the same (self parking), but there are also nice changes (fresh updated rooms). I really enjoyed our beach front junior suite which is a corner unit (with kitchenette) with full windows on both sides to enjoy the awesome... More

We just got back a couple weeks ago from a wonderful three-night stay at the Pacific Edge on Laguna Beach and are happy to give it two thumbs up, mainly for location, location, location. We stayed in The Reef building on the top floor (fourth, I believe). Though it sounds a little high, we only had to navigate one set... More

Thank you very much for your kind review. I'm so glad you enjoyed exploring Laguna Beach and staying with us during your visit. We truly appreciate your recommendation. I wanted to address your concern about the parking as well. Since the restaurant associated with the hotel (The Deck) was built, the city has required that we use valet parking. I... More

I have stayed here twice and I LOVE this hotel. The most recent time I came was to surprise my girlfriend by proposing to her on the beach behind the hotel. The hotel staff were very friendly, very helpful, and very excited for us. The room was magnificent! The rooms have a very relaxed, surfer, beach house feel, it's just... More

We love it here. The staff is wonderful and truly knows the meaning of great customer service. It's clean, comfortably decorated and the pricing is excellent. We stayed in September then brought friends in November and will be returning in February, again with friends. See you soon! More

An older motel, it's true, but it was cute, and one of the least spendy options in Laguna Beach, with fun pastel paint in calm blues and celadon contributing to its retro vibe. Reception was able to upgrade us to a two-bed suite for a nominal charge, pretty sweet. Didn't face the ocean, but that was fine with us, didn't... More

Stayed in November and have been meaning to write a quick review. Location is great and Laguna is a great place to visit. I would certainly return to Laguna, but would be equally certain not to stay here again. The staff were friendly and the location perfect, but this is an old motel type property that has had a quick... More

I wanted to let all of you know; if you want to see the ocean and hear the waves, the Pacific Edge is a really nice place to stay. My room was kinda art decco style, clean and comftorble. Small kitchen, stove, microwave, two sided patio and the water was only feet away. The staff was friendly, polite, and very... More

My husband and I took an overnight trip here in late December. It is easy to get to on PCH. The room itself is okay, but being on the beach with waves lapping all the time is incredible. There is a balcony with Adirondack chairs. Even in December with a blanket around me, I enjoyed watching the early morning fishing... More

I wanted to take my (then 15month old) son to the beach for the first time and thought Laguna Beach would be a good start. I chose this little hotel mainly because of convenience. It's located adjacent to the shore. Due to a recent health issues, I decided to book a room that is simply steps away from the ocean.... More
