Laguna Beach House

Laguna Beach House

10/10 Excellent
"Booked this hotel on a whim and boy did we make the best decision! It’s a little further away from the action but just a short walk to get there. We had a coastal view which was perfect. The room had a cute patio and another table out front to sit as well. The hotel provided beach chairs and towels and the beach is just a short walk away. Heisler Park is directly behind the hotel. The pool area looked small, but was absolutely perfect for relaxing. This was a perfect stay…we hope to come back!"

"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)."
