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.

Great location and value; staff was super nice and helpful. Love that you can walk to the beach directly from hotel. Beds are comfortable, but rooms and bathrooms need some renovation. Also would be nice to have a kettle to boil water inside a room - there is a coffee machine, but what if you’re not a coffee drinker?
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.
The owner made check-in a pleasure. Our room was comfortable but waking up to spectacular ocean views was everything!

The room was comfortable and the staff were friendly and helpful. The room has only a peek of the ocean, but is a short walk to the beach. The bathroom shower door hinges were rusty and there were metal shaving all over the floor and toilet lid when we got there. It looks like they attached the towel rack to the wall and drilled through the metal brackets. The rest of the room was nice.
Overall, this was a decent enough stay. The outside of the property looked questionable. The rooms were dated and the bed wasn’t very comfortable. However, it was in a nice and safe area and walkable to the restaurants and shops.
This was our 3rd year staying at Crescent Bay and we love it. Sal and his family are wonderful hosts and the property is a short walk to a lovely beach. If you are seriously in Laguna to enjoy the beach, then this is a great little place to stay.
Very affordable stay and I loved that it was like 5-10min from the beach walking. Bed was super comfy and the management knew a lot about the area which was cool. Would recommend this place if you are looking for a more affordable hotel/motel.
Great hotel, close to the beach, close to downtown, incredibly comfy bed!!!!

The mgr Sal was so sweet! The beds/pillows so comfy! The rainfall shower so relaxing! The ocean view wonderful surrounded by greenery! Its a small boutique hotel, cost friendly, older structure. Close to laguna beach, free trolley to take you around!
The owner and staff were very friendly, the room was clean and comfortable. Its about a 3 or 4 Block walk to the Laguna Beach Trolley and that was an efficient way to get around, once one figures it out. Not many restaurant options nearby, but we enjoyed the downtown area most of the day.
