Not customer friendly when checking in. No phones in our room to request service or ask for information. Could not operate shower, handle has rusted screw, no instructions. Bare minimum motel not an inn. Bed has only 2 small pillows which were very uncomfortable. No continental breakfast.

The hotel was great. Sal and his wife were very accommodating and helpful. The room was very comfortable and the location was great. It’s 3 minutes walking from the beach They provided beach chairs and buckets and beach toys for the kids. We will return to the hotel if back in Laguna. The only downside was some early evening road traffic noise if your room is close to the road.

Great stay overall. The owners were very sweet. Close to the beach and a quick drive to restaurants. Gave 3 stars because it’s very outdated.

We stayed here for 4 nights. The room was clean, comfortable and spacious. Location was close to all main attractions including the beach and a free trolley that runs throughout Laguna. A big highlight was SAL who runs the Inn. Absolutely a pleasure. Friendly, knowledgeable and has everything you need as well as great food referrals. It's rare staff is such a high point.

One of the main reasons I booked the hotel is that it's site stated breakfast is provided. Management told me on arrival that there is no breakfast, and that it shouldn't be on the website as they stopped serving breakfast during Covid. I believe they updated their website since. The photos of the firepit are not accurate. There are no cushions at all so the seating is uncomfortable. We were told the fire would be lit from 8-10. It was not and seems to be lit at the discretion of managment. There is a very bright flood light that shines directly on the outside seating area so it would be hard to enjoy a fire regardless. The posted office hours states it's closed at 10 pm. We arrived at 9pm to pick up teabags and ask about the firepit not being lit. The office door was locked and no one came out despite knocking. (The door was locked earlier in the day at 6 pm but the manager did come out when I knocked then.) We were told next day to have called which we didn't do at 9pm so as not to disturb the manager. Finally, there is little to no ocean view in room 304 due to overgrown trees and bushes behind the motel.This said, you can hear the ocean at night which was great. I would not stay here again due to the discrepant (wrong) information posted on its website and onsite which a reasonable person would not have anticipated, including my friend and me.

Convenient spot for getting to a run in Crystal Cove state park. Had to find a place to purchase decaf coffee for the Keurig coffee maker since they only provide regular coffee. I had no idea how difficult finding parking was on a weekend in Laguna!
