Top Ocean Institute Hotel Reviews

Laguna Cliffs Marriott Resort and Spa

Laguna Cliffs Marriott Resort and Spa

4/10 Poor
"Very nice facility however it is undergoing construction a fact that we weren’t made aware of until well after the booking. They also charge a resort fee (why not include it in the price of the room?) which were not made aware of until check out. We also had to pay extra for maid service ( again we were not made aware until check out) and parking. Where in the hell am I going to park? The parking garage was full so most everyone staying there, drove there. It’s not the kind of place you walk to or take the bus to. The advertised room rate is not what you pay."
