My wife and I have stayed here at least four times beginning in 2006. We keep returning because it is an excellent value, and a very relaxing place to be. We love the quaintness! It works well for us. Have never had any trouble with staff. We usually use room 306 because we love the private balcony and the wonderful... More

My In-Laws have been staying at the Riv for about 14 years now, wooed from another hotel farther up the PCH. My wife and I joined them in 2006 and loved it. The first time we went it was a bit rustic. Clean and maintained, but a bit old fashioned (in a good way). The second time the rooms had... More

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, it means a lot to us. We are constantly looking for ways to further enhance our guests experience. For 2012 we have started our slope project and by next summer will have new pathways and terraces to the ocean, a two level surf view patio for room 101, and two... More

My husband and I first stayed at the Laguna RIviera back in 1985. Very funky place at that time..but suited our needs. Over the past few years we have stayed 3 times, Rooms 406, 511 and 101. I would recommend all of them with maybe the exception of 406. The hotel recently remodeled and room 511 was beautifully done. Room... More

Thank you for the nice review. It is great seeing the observations of a repeat guest who has watched as we continue to improve and upgrade the property. I would suggest that for fun, you ask to see room 406 on your next stay. It used to be, in my opinion, our least desirable room. Because of that we put... More

This interesting property sits overlooking a beautiful sand beach and has tremendous ocean views. A pleasant zigzag garden path leads right to the beach. That's why you would stay here. Our room inside (#508) was nothing special - a large room with a foldout bed and sofabed; noisy heater-air conditioner; fireplace did not seem to work; fairly standard furniture although... More

Thank you for the nice review. The views and, of course, the town is what brings our guests to Laguna Beach and the Laguna Riviera year after year. Your room, 508 is one of our most popular rooms for couples because of the privacy and it has, arguably, the best view on the property. The bed is a fold out,... More

Well,, the pics looked great on the website and we booked room 409 where we are staying right now. The "resort" looks like a glorified motel, renovated, but still distinctly motel ambiance. Our room overlooked a a dirty roof, complete with a dirty rag, champagne cork, broken plastic fork and a general shabbiness that completely interfered with the legitimitely lovely... More

We stayed in the beach bungalow last June. It was amazing. For less than the price of two hotel rooms at other places, you had a full, three bedroom cottage, right on the water in the center of town - walking distance to everything. Now, if you insist on marble and high end fixtures, you might be disappointed. But this... More

Thank you for sharing your experience in, and opinion of our Beach Bungalow and your positive review of our staff. The Beach Bungalow is an amazing value and you could easily spend the same amount or more at other hotels for a single ocean front room. By summer of 2012, we plan on having the lower patios completed and ready... More

Me and my family keep going back to this wonderful resort. It is right on a beach, rooms are remodeled and really comfortable and price for Laguna Beach surf view really isn't that bad. Can't wait to go back next year! More

We chose to stay here on our wedding night because the price was affordable for a room with a king size bed and jacuzzi in the room on the ocean. We stayed in room 301. The sleeping are was spacious and appeared as if it had been recently updated and tastefully decorated. The bathroom had not been updated. The toilet... More
