Laguna Beach Lodge

It’s the best location! The views and beaches and park across the street that you have access to. It’s a perfect distance between downtown Laguna and Dana Point marina.

Great staff nice cute place

My first night was an impromptu room, and clerk Jack provided the only one available. It was on first floor south side of building. This night it was loud! Room above was stompers and lots of noise outside. Next night I liked the room much better, second floor facing west- ocean! Quiet and spacious. Jack the concierge was really friendly and helpful. Breakfast of fruits, pastries, and coffee was good enough. Good location near stores and restaurants! Price is right.

Good

The location can not be beat, it is right across from the Montage and its beautiful beaches which is why we chose to stay here. The service was good although the front desk was closed every night by 9:00pm. That being said, the hotel itself has little to be desired. It is definitely old and needs some serious TLC. The beds/pillows/linens made for some very long nights. I never leave reviews but thought this might help someone that is on the fence about where to stay. If you don't mind a "Motel style" room and less than comfortable beds then the location is great. I personally would not stay here again, I would pay more for a room with better beds so that I can actually rest on my vacation. I would definitely not pay more than $90/night to stay here.

We love this hotel. It's been around along time, but the beds are comfortable. The breakfast is wonderful, fresh fruit and muffins..The rooms are large, and the location is wonderful. We will always stay here, when we can.

We really enjoy staying here. The rooms are large and the beds and bedding very comfortable. Flat screen large tv internet coffee maker fridge microwave and iron. It has everything you need to be at home.

I had no telephone service( land line or cell) in my room. Had to go to front of hotel to make calls. WiFi did not work. Asked to move to a room in front of hotel. They would not move me. It was raining out side( XMas Day) and I was unable to use heater because water was coming in under electric heater. No extra blanket in room. Unable to call front desk because of phone and they closed the office so I could not get more blankets. Wanted to drive home but weather was too dangerous so I was stuck. Finally fell asleep and was awakened at 5am by a preset alarm clock. Asked for compensation for my horrific night and was told I would be contacted by management. I have heard nothing.

The roomnhad good space and the layout fit exactly what I needed for a solo stay.

Great stay overall. But just to give a clear picture: Hotel is a bit older but it’s getting some love from the new owners it seems. Bathrooms are still quite old though and the showers are pretty crappy. Pillows a are too large and too firm. Breakfast is not worth mentioning (bad coffee, bananas, apples, oranges and package croissants - that’s it). But the location, service, and vibe makes up for all this and we very much enjoyed our stay. We’ve been coming to this place for 5 years now and will definitely come back soon again!!
