The owners were so nice and helpful. I was impressed with the room. It was very clean and a beautiful view. It's nice that there is Beach gear free to borrow. I will definitely stay here again.
The room was clean and updated, the hotel is within walking distance to the beach, the manager was extremely helpful and friendly. Checking in and out was easy.
The hotel owners and property was fantastic. The location to an amazing beach and the park that over looks the beach was only a couple minutes walking. Highly recommend this place.
Quiet part of town and near the shuttle route, convenient for the Pageant of the Masters. Nice walk to Crescent Bay beach and an overlook for views and sunsets nearby. Friendly and helpful staff.
If you’re looking for a comfortable, clean place to stay in Laguna without paying for a fancy resort, this is it. We chose this hotel because it was one of the more economical options and honestly it never felt like a step down.
The location is unbeatable. It's steps from one of the best beaches in Laguna. Everything was clean, comfortable, and exactly what we needed, but what really stood out was the service. Everyone was genuinely kind, welcoming, and helpful in a way that felt personal and authentic, not like the typical hotel experience.
The combination of the location, comfort, cleanliness, and genuinely wonderful service made it feel like an amazing choice. There was truly nothing we needed that we didn’t have. I would absolutely stay here again.
The property was perfect, close to the beach and walking distance to many beaches and restaurants. The free shuttle service is fantastic! The room was clean and well appointed. The manager Sal is very helpful and very attentive to your needs. I would recommend this hotel and would stay there next time I come to Laguna beach.
Thank you Sal for everything!

The perfect location for going to the beach & attending a wedding at Crescent Bay Point Park. Sal was so welcoming, accommodating & incredibly helpful with checking-in! Our ocean view room was updated & very clean. We had a wonderful stay & highly recommend it.
Arrived right at 10pm and owner was gracious to let us check in and get situated. It was dark so didn't see water but could hear it. Everything closed in town except the grab and go. Close to hotel to walk to and grab some snacks.
Great location and the manager was great. I’d recommend staying here for a cheaper option in Laguna Beach, especially if you want to walk to the beach.
This was our second stay with the Crescent Bay Inn, we love the location, easy access to the beach and the price for location. The staff were helpful and we had a great stay.
We stayed only one night and it was phenomenal!
The innkeeper/owner (Sal) was beyond helpful, hospitable, and friendly. He provided lots of information on the place and surroundings. The room was very comfortable, clean, and had many extras like a fridge, keurig, microwave, bottled water (teas, coffee, plastic ware, beach towels, and extra water, available in the office).
Outside there's a wonderful patio area, outdoor shower, and they have umbrellas, toys, and chairs, you can use for the beach.
Great location and experience. Highly recommend!
If you plan to visit the city of Laguna Beach, it is totally advisable to stay here, the rooms are very spacious and very clean and in front desk, very friendly, besides the property is in a very calm and safe area and very serene of the main attractions, I recommend booking your room with sea view and for your car, do not worry, the parking lots are very safe.

The staff was extremely helpful and kind. The couple of concerns I encountered were that the shower was not working properly and was put together very unprofessionally. Also, the recommended route to the beach is not really appropriate for seniors as it is rocky and could be hazardous causing falls.

What a neat little place! I've been to a lot of the hotels in Laguna Beach, and I am adding this one to my list of "secret spots". Clean room with good amenities; short walk to the beach... all the little details make this a great getaway.

While the property is on the older side, the room was clean and in great condition, and the bed was comfortable. The manager Sal was very friendly and provided great tips. The beach was a short 3-minute walk down a side path. The hotel provided beach towels, which was nice to have available.
