The hotel is praised for its prime location near the beach and restaurants, as well as its clean facilities. However, several guests have complained about the noise from construction and traffic, as well as issues with the staff and the value for money. Some guests also mentioned that the rooms were small and lacked certain amenities.

    The small hotel is a throwback from the 70’s. Nicely maintained. Parking is included and free. The room was just adequate, but it was quite clean. One of the electrical outlets did not work. The bathroom and shower were small. It had a decent balcony and a partial view of the ocean. The hotel is 2 minutes or less of a walk from a very nice 180 degree view of the ocean.

    I had a great birthday at Laguna cove hotel! The staff was friendly and went above and beyond in giving me and my boyfriend a comfortable and great stay! I can’t wait to come back my boyfriend and I would love to stay here again and stay in the same room with the beautiful view from the balcony. We will be staying here again and maybe even every time we come into town! The cookies + coffee and bananas every morning were a great touch at the front desk, and the cute snoopy shorts! See you soon Laguna big thank you for making my trip special <3

    Very quiet at night and even during the day despite being off South Coast Hwy. there are also spots with live music nearby. Best of all you can go have a coffee and sit on a bench at the steps of the beach in the morning - very peaceful and amazing view of the Pacific Ocean. I’d definitely stay again, just hope they’d make some upgrades. Oh and parking is including for guests.

    Beds are entirely too high. Uncertain why they are that high. Walls are paper thin and I heard the man next door snoring. They do provide earplugs. No pool. Trash cans are highly accessible. One evening a new guest asked me if I worked there when I went to the front to fill a water bottle. She was waiting at front desk to check in for a longer time than she expected. Turns out the clerk was chatting in another guest room for about 20/30 minutes. The new guest was pretty stressed.

    We had a balcony one row of houses back from the ocean. We saw a beautiful sunset, a whale, dolphins and a rocket launch while sitting on our balcony. The bathroom is small but usable. We rented beach chairs and beach towels from the front desk which was very convenient. There is quite a bit of road noise but earplugs did the trick while sleeping luckily a house under construction right off our balcony was not overly noisy.

    Great location and quaint but old and outdated for the price. Bed was comfortable. The Sun set right behind an air conditioner unit. Bathrooms are not charming they are old from the 60’s or 70’s. Demolition/Construction right outside the balcony window which was not disclosed when booking. Earplugs on the night stands is never a good sign but very necessary.

    There was ants and fleas in our room and bed. Couldn't sleep all night be booked two nights we canceled the second night. The ocean is not close You have to walk down more than 100 steps. We couldn't go because knee problem.

    Expected there to be a clear beach view from the balcony because I payed slightly extra for that but it was mostly covered by trees and a house. But it was still a beautiful stay! Literally only steps away from the beach! All major attractions were only minutes away from this hotel. The shower door doesn’t close all the way so the bathroom would be soaked but other than that everything was perfect. The staff was SUPER SWEET. The kitchen includes a cute little dining table and chairs which was very useful. Overall, I would definitely stay here again!

    Loved staying here, it was a very cute hotel! We were kindly given an upgrade to an ocean view w/ balcony and we were so glad about it! Definitely having this made the room feel breathable. Keep in mind, If it were not for balcony, room would have felt a bit small. Furniture could be a bit more modernized however, bed and pillows were very comfy.

    However, with power washing happening in the from and the residential construction happening in the back, it was beyond loud and not at all peaceful as we’d hoped. After the workers stopped around 5pm we could return to our room.!!Otherwise we had to keep the curtains drawn and window closed the entire time as they were at eye level with our room.

    I guess I have been going to hotels that are not "vintage" properties. Cute little motel that is close to the ocean and on the main "drag" of Laguna Beach. Very quiet and free coffee, tea and chocolate chip cookies in the lobby. If you are traveling to Laguna on a budget, this is an option. Ocean view only because the house behind the hotel had been torn down and was under construction. Comfortable bed, and free (I think) parking in front. Desk person is a bit lackluster and could use some hospitably schooling in greeting and speaking to the guests. Personally, I would not return as the level of the hotel was to up to what i am used to but the price was right (not sure if $200 a night is right but perhaps that is the going rate). But, if you don't require a more posh, three star plus environment than this could be a place to try. Location. Location. Location.

    We were given room #101 that is against Agate Street and was a large suite. A separate room for kitchenette and a separate room for bed and bathroom. While the room itself was large, the closet was large, the bathroom lacked anything modern and not clean. The shower was an odd step-in with a large ledge and no light at all. It was a dark cave. The hot water took a long time to heat up in both the sink and shower. The floor had very old tiles and not very clean. The king bed was stiff and left us with sore backs. They do have rooms with ocean view but ours viewed the neighbors houses. I was very happy we had only one night to stay there. I would not go back again.

    Other than this issue, the room was mostly ok. Bed was comfy, but the floor clearly hadn’t been swept and there was debris scattered on it. The room is very boring. It needs some color. I will pay more in the future to stay somewhere nicer with an appropriate sized bathroom and a pool/spa. Also, their breakfast literally consisted of coffee and a container of yogurt. There were also some complimentary burnt cookies. I don’t remember disliking this place so much in the past. Not sure if I just got a bad room this time or what, but definitely not worth going back.

    Room was furnished from a garage sale with everything falling apart. Very ratty furnishings, shower door was falling off, bath shelf was falling off wall. And, we were NOT told that heavy duty construction was being done right out side room/deck. Could not use deck. For over $300/night it was a rip off. We complained about the skill saws and Jack hammers and got 20% off one night. Piss-poor service.

    Great location and loved the little beach area close by. Unfortunately a series of events happened while I was there that dampened my stay. It was extremely loud (sirens, honking, yelling, stomping, music), the hot water had gone out, the fire alarm went off at 9 pm forcing me to vacate my room, and their was a police stand off in one of the rooms while all of us were trying to go to bed. While I believe the hotel did their best to handle the situation, all of this made me just want to go home. Not being able to take a hot shower was just the icing on the cake. The staff members were lovely and the location was awesome tho. I think the events that unfolded were just bad luck.

    The staff truly elevated the stay. Everyone we encountered was warm, friendly, and accommodating, offering a level of service that rivaled luxury-tier hospitality. Was placed in a first-floor Junior Suite. Footsteps from above were noticeable, enough to request a move. The front desk team was professional, and the manager kindly approved our switch to an upstairs Family Suite, showing real commitment to guest satisfaction. I’ll definitely be returning and recommend booking a second-floor room for a quieter stay. Earplugs are provided, mostly due to traffic noise from the Pacific Coast Highway—understandable given the location between the ocean and the road, but they never even came close to feeling they were necessary.

    Though this is not a new hotel, our room was updated, clean and comfortable. The property is kept up nicely. Parking is free and there is complimentary coffee in the lobby area. The staff was friendly and accommodating. It's a nice hotel with good value for the area. One negative is that there is traffic noise from the main road out front, but that would be the case with most any hotel on the main road in Laguna Beach.

    Laguna Cove Hotel – Great Stay! Our recent stay at Laguna Cove Hotel was truly pleasant. The location is perfect — very walkable to dining and shopping areas and easily accessible to nearby attractions. It’s also just a short stroll to the beach, which made our stay even more enjoyable. The hotel offers pretty good parking, and while the breakfast is simple, it’s good enough to start the day. Most importantly, the place is very clean and well-maintained, giving a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere throughout our stay. Overall, it’s a great value for the location and cleanliness. I would definitely stay here again!

    We had a great stay at Laguna Cove. The room (104) was clean and good enough for my son and I. The bottom floors have minimal to no view of the ocean, and the top rooms are ocean view. The front desk lady was nice when we checked in at 430ish, and the lady that worked the morning front desk shift was nice and attentive to our needs. I'm always wary of going to hotels because of bed bugs and dust, but this room was very comfortable and clean. You get the bang for your buck. It's close to many places and one minute walk to the beach. Highly recommend if you're not looking to spend much as the other hotels in the area (Laguna Sands).

    The room itself was adorable — very cottage-core, with a cozy charm. The location was excellent, and the balcony view of the ocean was absolutely breathtaking. I loved being able to keep the screen door open and fall asleep to the sound of the waves all night. The property overall was beautiful, spotless, and had a homey, welcoming vibe. It is a little dated in places, but that just added to the character for me. The only minor challenge was that the front desk closes at 10 PM, so check-in has to happen before then, which can be a bit tricky. Other than that, everything was truly wonderful. I would absolutely stay here again — and definitely plan to in the future!

    Beach view from our tiny bathroom window over construction. Room was ok- very small. The floor didn’t feel like it had’nt been swept for a while . The bathroom was also very small, no place to put toiletries. The shower door was so small I could barely get in and I’m not a big person. Very little hot water, it was lukewarm at best. Bed and pillows were ok. No breakfast provided, just coffee and tea.

    It also meant that we couldn't relax during the day in the room since that construction was loud an annoying. The room itself was fine, beds were comfortable and clean, watching TV was pointless as they only offered a very limited set of cable channels with no guid, so it was a nice time travel back to 90s cable TV. We were not here for the TV though and being close enough to walk to many restaurants and shops was nice, its just down the street from a public beach and every location were were there for was either wakable or within a very short drive. Overall, when you add in the value, I would stay here again as the other options we looked at were 10-15 miles south and we would have had to drive around a lot more.

    The room was what I expected but the shower was very small. Unfortunately the bathroom had an ant problem. We did not do breakfast the first day and we checked to see what time breakfast was as we weren’t told when we checked in. We were told it went till 11am. The following day we decided to go down and get something and all they had was coffee and yogurt. The bed had a pillow top but the mattress felt too hard. We were also disappointed that there was no elevator. We are older and the stairs were manageable but it was hard with luggage Overall this was an okay place to stay but I think we will choose someplace different in the future.

    This hotel is very charming and cozy overall. Our bed and pillows were extremely comfortable, the AC was effective, and the property location was very convenient to the beach and the town. Unfortunately there were ants throughout our room sporadically and the bathroom was a bit tight despite the relatively high nightly price. Overall though, we enjoyed our stay.

    This hotel is not a hotel. It is a motel at best. The rooms are ridiculously small and while the view to the ocean is nice, there is construction going on in the house between the coast and the property, which doesn’t do much for the view. The check in policy also speaks to the type of property this is. Rather than a pleasant experience, all they do is make sure each and every policy is adhered too, much like when checking into a sleezy motel. Such a mistake and such a waste of money. My wife and I opted to leave early, so that we could get a good nights rest back home. Not at all the weekend getaway we were hoping for. Also, the location of the property is an extensive walk from the center of town.

    I love Laguna Beach and this hotel was just right. Not fancy but sweet with everything you need. Good location without being in the crowded center. The town trolley makes getting around easy and fun - leave your car at the hotel and walk or trolley. The lobby had lots of coffee and tea choices. Staff was friendly and helpful. The room was clean with mini-kitchen. The view not great but sufficient. The beach was very close and convenient. I loved this property and will stay there next time.

    The toilet was so close to the sink you barely had room. The shower was very small. The first floor room was extremely noisy with people walking overhead at 2am in the morning. Exterior grounds needed sweeping and the breakfast area and lobby looked umkempt. Will not stay here again even tho reasonable price.

    But the worst thing about staying here was the advertised “ocean view”. Your ocean view is a view of 20 million dollar houses blocking the shoreline, with construction going on of another house. You get a wake up call at 7:15 am with pounding, grinding, sawing and shouting. Your front view is of a busy road with endless traffic, and people. There is no grass anywhere to be found. If you bring your dog be aware that the nearest grass in across the street and down one block. Keep this in mind if you need to take your pup out in the middle of the night. Laguna Beach in general was mediocre. The food everywhere was nothing special, there are people coming out of the woodwork, the traffic was horrendous. Save yourself the stress and go somewhere else.

    This hotel is an old property. No elevator to the second floor. We had the king bed with an ocean view and balcony which was nice. However a new house is being built right outside our balcony so noisy early in the morning. The room is very small and the walk-in shower is tiny. Free parking which is a plus and also Laguna Trolley close to hotel. $495/night is pretty pricey in our opinion.

    The location of the hotel was perfect, with a stunning ocean view. The staff was very helpful, professional and friendly. We had a king ocean view room. The room was spacious, but quite outdated. The bed was not a full king, but that wasn't an issue. The rooms are not very well insulated, so it can be noisy. They have ear plugs in the room, so that wasn't a great sign. It wasn't very bad, apart from a few drunken guests arguing outside our door in the middle of the night... Overall it's an okay hotel, but considering what we paid (tax and fees included, more than $450 a night), it was disproportionate. Iwoute expect a more upgraded bathroom and much less noise. I don't think we'll stay here again.

    We were in town for a wedding and stayed one night at an expensive resort. We wanted to extend our Laguna experience and found this waterfront hotel at a price we could afford. It is definitely from the Laguna I remember from my high school years and the room had everything you could need. The lobby had snacks and information and the view was the same view as the most expensive hotel.

    Beautifully furnished. sparkling clean room. There was construction out back--I wore earplugs with white noise and left room during the day which made it okay.

    Looks so much bigger in the pictures. It’s a cozy small stay. Our Beach view was behind a construction site on the property behind of the hotel. The bathroom was pretty small and the sink water pressure was super slow. Also the walls are super thin we were hearing our next door neighbors til 3:00 am, we couldn’t notify anyone because the desk person isn’t available after a certain time at night.

    Stayed one night. Cute hotel (exterior is more charming than the interior of the rooms but still nice). Comfy bed and pillows. Small tv but that was ok. Bathroom was very nice and updated with nice products provided. Small bistro table in room to eat or use laptop which was helpful. Deposit was $150 (a little high for the property imo). Convenient free parking right out your hotel door. Free cappucino in the morning in the lobby which was wonderful. Intense policy about dogs. It was like $55 a day plus they wanted dog vaccine records-over the top. We didn’t bring our dog on this trip but $50+ a day is nuts.
