The staff was genuinely kind and couldn't have be more accommodating, and that's coming from someone who travels 5-6 times a year. We got an upgrade without even asking, and felt comfortable from the time we arrived. Great location and a terrific place to unwind and reset, even if for a night. We'll definitely be coming back. 5 Stars!

This is a quaint, fun, and beautiful hotel once you get into it. Don't judge it by the street view; rather, once you get inside and see it, you'll love it. The rooms are nicely laid out, and there is a fun turntable for playing LP's in each room. The hotel has a music library, so if you want to listen to classics, R&B, rock, jazz, and blues, it's all there to borrow. Breakfast is easy every morning, and the garden and pool area is comfortable and nice. And it's an easy walk into town, or you can jump on the Laguna Beach Trolley, which is free just around the corner from the hotel that will take you almost everywhere, into town, up to the Pageant of the Masters site and to the Sawdust festival. Super easy. The staff is super attentive, and Jonas at the Bar will make you a killer drink. Go and enjoy!

This hotel is one I regularly visit from Los Angeles as a solo traveler. It’s truly a special little sanctuary and I haven’t yet found another place like it. It’s such a great spot to relax in, to feed your soul, and to take in all the beauty of Laguna. The property and staff are incredible and always make it feel like a cozy home they’re welcoming you into. From the quiet but carefully curated rooms to the breathtaking ocean views to the salt water pool and record players humming in the background, you’ll feel the magic of its vibe throughout and it’ll leave a lasting impression on your heart. This is a place you must experience once to truly understand its impact.

Not it. They have some work to do. With lightbulbs out, no option to open the only window (unless you want everyone to see in your room that walks by), no TV, exposed waterlines in the shower and rust it’s a miss. I wanted this place to be nice- truly. But I left a day early it was not relaxing or even nice enough to stay with all these flaws.

Beautiful property, heated pool, great breakfast, nice rooms, Salt and Stone toiletries,great bathrooms too. Walking distances to great restaurants and beaches. The ONLY thing I was sad to hear is that it’s an adult only hotel. So, I can’t bring my grandson. But I myself will DEFINITELY be back!

Hotel has just undergone a management transition. New front desk staff were very helpful. Rooms and grounds are all in good condition. I paid more for a deluxe king room and it was smaller (no couch) than the regular king room my friends got. But I was on the top floor with a bit of an ocean view. My room door was glass and one wall was all windows facing a common walkway. The room needs better lighting as it was fairly dark. Mattress and bedding were very comfortable. Towels were thick and water pressure and temperature were fine. Pool area was well maintained with plenty of towels. The hotel advertises as adults only but there were young children at the pool.

Lovely little place with nice added extras but very over priced for what it was. We felt like everything was about money and the free breakfast they advertise wasn’t that great and had hidden charges. Staff were very friendly but felt like they were constantly wanting you to purchase over priced drinks when laid round the pool.

Beautiful and clean property and overall pretty good experience for a couple of nights. Our mattress was not very comfortable and likely needed to be replaced. It dipped in some parts. The pool was cold and definitely was not at 90 (nor even 80 or 70 degrees) temperature as advertised. More likely the pool temperature was in the 60s. Short walk to lovely Shaw’s Cove but there are limited spots to set your things up and it was very crowded.

Hard to write a review of this property, the staff were genuinely lovely and extremely helpful, however the first night we were allocated a room to the front of the hotel, and due to noise we didn’t sleep at all. They gracefully allowed us to move when we raised the issue and the second room was much better.

The rooms are a little tired. Furniture is a Laraine’s and walls need a re-paint, but they also have a lovely charm.

Good location and beautiful beach.

Having to pay a gratuity on the free breakfast everyday was a bit of a sting. Along with being charged the full resort fee despite the swimming pool not being operational when we stayed.

The room was very small, in the alley. Nothing special. Over priced for what we got. No tv in the room. Location was not ideal for restaurants etc.

Beautiful place in a great location. The service is underwhelming, bordering on disinterested. Particularly before they received my reservation, they were a bit rude. I have mobility challenges, when i asked for a chair in the shower, the receptionist pointed to a few chairs and said “ you can take that one, no one uses it” instead of offering to bring a chair there. Not a bad experience, just for the price, the service is very mediocre

The property is a very short walk to the water. All of the staff were warm and welcoming. The aesthetics are really nice and not campy like other beach properties. They made my Christmas very nice with a sweet little gift under the tree.

Not what I hoped for......

We really wanted to like this hotel. We had such high hopes. We were having a romantic getaway.
The property itself is pretty, the decor is super cute and the food/bar is good. That's where it ends. After arriving a little early for check in (just before 2pm) I knew I would have to wait for my room. I was told 45 minutes. So I grabbed a drink and some food and sat on the terrace and enjoyed that sun. At 4pm I finally asked if my room was ready and was told the \"final touches\" were being added. I was taken to my room at 4:45pm.
The room faced Pacific Coast Highway and all night long you can hear every single car that goes by. It's super loud. At one point I put water into my water bottle from the tap and it was cloudy and dirty.
We asked another guest about their room and they said you could hear everything in the room next door - showers, toilets, doors etc.
When we addressed the concerns we felt like we were patted on the head and told \"oh well\".
It's too bad - the property itself is really quite pretty so I was hoping for a better experience.

Loved this space, even you get a resort stay charge but totally worth it because you get sit down breakfast with service for free every morning with coffee and juices and walking to the beach and a pool. It’s ideal

Return visit already being planned!

This was a sweet little gem of a stay. Wonderful check-in process, with a welcome cocktail. Awesome room with a soaking tub, great shower and in room turntable to enjoy the house collection of vinyl. The pool was heated just right with comfortable furniture to lay out and relax when not swimming. Walking distance to beach access. The complimentary breakfast was on point.

The value for the money is not too great. The rooms are very small, and we had stains on our room floors. The stay is over priced.

I was not pleased at all with this stay. There was no onsite parking left when I arrived, which was not great considering I was recovering from a broken toe. There was a family reunion happening on the premises so people were gathered outside my room, so there was little quiet or privacy. The service was not good - they were understaffed and I waited at breakfast for 15 minutes before getting a server. The front desk asked specifically what time I wanted tea in the morning, and then one morning didn't show up and the next morning came and woke me up 30 minutes earlier than I had asked, and it was my morning to sleep in. Also, housekeeping didn't wear masks, which seems, in this day and age, not best practices. Overall very disappointed.

Amazing Christmas gift :)

It was such a dream! This was a Christmas gift to myself due to being alone this year, and it was so special. Such an intimate environment, with extremely kind staff and amazing food and drink! They even gave me a sweet little Christmas gift and placed it under their Christmas tree. Altogether such a sweet experience, wish I could've stayed longer!

Easily one of the best hotels I've ever stayed at. They make you feel so welcome. The design is impeccable. Everything is so thoughtful, from the activities to morning coffee delivery. Pool was beautiful, as are the surrounding beaches. I will be going back.
