The room was overlooking rooftops of another building and was described as beachfront . The towels had stains and the bed was uncomfortable and the sheets weren’t clean.gross. When I went to the office to let them know how unhappy I was , the wife was seething with hate and the owner blamed everyone else . The stairs going up to the room were dangerous and the walkway was old , rotted looking . It is called an inn , but there’s no food or drinks. The door to the lobby(if that’s what you could call it) was always locked . I felt unsafe. The owner was as rude as you can get, blaming me for picking the room, like I had a choice .
Staff very friendly and welcoming and allowed early check- in when room was ready with no additional fee. Room and property was basic but very clean and fairly priced. Slightly obstructed but nice view of beach from room. Convenient walk to beach. In Laguna for the Pagent of the Masters and a short walk to the free trolley. Will come again.
Quaint property, easy walk to the beach. Staff was so friendly, accommodating and helpful with everything; great insight into local attractions. Would definitely go back to this location.
Location is close to beach and parking is included in the rate, rooms are renovated and well appointed with comfy bed, excellent shower. We had a quiet room with a little sliver ocean view and could hear the waves. Sal is really nice and helpful about the trolly to festivals and restaurant options. Good for a quick overnight or cheap weekly stay a short distance from the super crowded main beach area.

Liked: Cleanliness
The staff are nice. Our room is clean. The property is a little bit dated and needs a little bit of sprucing up.
We have stayed at several properties in Laguna over the years and all the rooms are basically the same. What sets The Crescent Bay Inn apart is the caring staff who go out of their way to make sure you're comfortable and needs are met

Liked: Staff & service
Property was just ok. We are use to cleaner places. Very dark inside room. We stayed 4 days and no house keeping. The owner was very nice and helpful. Free water and coffee. I would not stay there again because the rooms were very outdated. Close to beach but no restaurants. Parking was a nightmare.

Needs renovation. Deck is deteriorating…scary to walk on…thought we would fall through. Furniture in room was was not standing straight due to sagging floor. Non-smoking room but it smelled of smoke.
