8/10 Good
"Comfortable stay just a few minutes from the beach. Breakfast simple but quite nice compared to other places we stayed at during our California tour. Small downsides: street noise from highway in front, and the AC would need some upgrade. Quite nice actually to walk to the center of Laguna Beach through Hensler Park, probably 1 1/2 miles or so (good for running as well)."
