“Very clean hotel with a comfortable and welcoming atmosphere. The staff was extremely kind, friendly, and helpful throughout our stay. I was especially impressed because they took the time to mail me a diamond necklace that I accidentally left behind. I honestly didn’t think I would get it back, but they went above and beyond to return it to me. Truly excellent service and highly recommended.

Our stay at the Laguna Surf Lodge was absolutely lovely. To begin with, the room was cute, modern, and very clean. The views from the hotel were absolutely stunning! There are various areas to enjoy the ocean view and sunset. Also, the staff were so kind and friendly. Additionally, we really enjoyed how we were walking distance to so many places.

Went for our 15+ anniversary and had a wonderful overnight stay (only one night due to parental restrictions.) The room had a great view.. albeit there was an extended roof beneath us. The location was well-suited for walking and was close to Amazing restaurants and a Ralph’s grocery store. The staff including valet, were super helpful. The morning coffee did not disappoint, either (tea was also available). Would definitely have stayed the entire weekend if we could have. Don’t forget your refillable water cantina.. they have a refill station in their welcome area.

Absolutely loved staying here. Stayed in room with a queen and bunk beds. Teen aged children slept comfortably in bunk bed. The room, hotel and beach were extremely clean. Direct beach access was a plus for my child with mobility issues; hotel provided towels, chairs and umbrellas for the beach. Staff was nice and helpful. It was a relaxing stay, would definitely stay here again.

Room was comfortable and clean and I was stoked to get a great room with an ocean view!! Close to tons of great restaurants and lots to do. Would love to stay again.

My wife and I stayed here for your honeymoon. We had a booking complication where I didn’t get the room I was expecting from the photo they had on Expedia. However the hostess Katie sorted it out and gave us an upgrade that over looked the ocean as showed on the room I originally booked. The view was stunning and magical. We’re glad we stayed here and wished be book a few extra days to enjoy it a little longer. Everything around us was within a 5-10 min walking distance, which was a huge plus that we didn’t have to drive around and look for parking to enjoy Laguna beach. I defiantly recommend staying here. Thanks Katie for being such a great hostess, hopefully we get to see you the next time we stay in Laguna beach!

We had such a wonderful stay during our 2 days in Laguna Beach. The hotel was beautiful and the view was absolutely amazing. The location was perfect and made everything so convenient.

One of the things we appreciated most were all the thoughtful amenities. Having beach chairs, umbrellas, and towels provided made our trip so much easier, especially traveling with a toddler. It was such a nice touch and really helped us relax and enjoy our time at the beach without the extra hassle.

The staff was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and accommodating throughout our stay. Everyone made us feel comfortable from the moment we arrived. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Laguna Beach.

We were blown away by this hotel. I can't remember another time where I've checked into a hotel and just stayed there to soak in the sights and amenities - even the day of checkout we stayed until the last minute - and so did plenty of other guests. Check-in was easy, the room had all kinds of wellness gadgets such as soothing sound-maker, essential oil diffuser, special shampoo/conditioner. Excellent coffee is served all day long with a variety healthy creamers and sweeteners such as pure cane sugar. Every room appeared to be different, many with private balconies, I'm sure all overlooking the sea. As its namesake there were surfers in the evening and morning. There are terraces with comfortable couches, firepits and umbrellas overlooking the sea. This is a perfect refuge to unwind, but still be in the heart of Laguna Beach a 10 all round.

I researched this area and its hotels meticulously before booking. I almost switched reservations over the $38 daily valet fee — coming from out of state, that felt exorbitant. And worth noting: You don't find out the amount until after you've booked. (Booked on Expedia) Ultimately, location won me over. Here's the full breakdown.

Pros: The location is the star. Boutique feel, clean rooms, comfortable bed, and thoughtful touches — the diffuser, yoga mat, and mini fridge all land well. Staff was consistently kind and accommodating. The grounds are relaxed and charming. Private beach access is a real perk, and being set away from the main beach crowds was genuinely refreshing — Walkable to good restaurants, shops, and a grocery store.

Cons: My room — the Peaceful Ocean King with balcony terrace — was quite small and not so peaceful. First, the balcony and patio consumed much of the square footage, which I could accept, but the ocean view is partial, blocked by the roof of possibly parking area.
The hotel is due for updates, not obvious initially, but peeling paint on the exterior. Walls are paper thin. Sitting on the enclosed patio, you're in everyone else's conversation. We tracked our upstairs neighbors' every move. And heard every sound from our neighbors on each side. No closet storage, no in-room coffee (daily trek to the main office, and no TV or phone — which fits the vibe.
All in all, an enjoyable stay but I'm not sure I'd return.

Stunning views, freshly renovated and top notch guest service...
We were thrilled to return to what was once the Laguna Riviera, now the Laguna Surf Lodge, after honeymooning there 35 years ago. Upon check-in Kyle asked if we'd ever stayed at the property and he was so kind as to offer us the same room - albeit a beautifully renovated version! We were treated like family by Kyle, Gabe and all of the staff and feel this updated version of a classic hotel is the perfect place to relax and enjoy the calm of the ocean, stunning sunsets and all of Laguna's beautiful attractions.

I will treat anyone to a meal at one of the eateries recommended by this place if they can find a hotel that beats Laguna Beach Surf Lodge in level of customer service. Kyle and Gabe (manager and valet) convey pure pleasure at serving you, talking to you, getting right on whatever you need. I forgot how much of a difference it makes to be welcomed this way. Beyond that, its location, location, location. You can’t turn around without being awestruck and nurtured by beauty, fresh tangy air, and nooks and crannies to perch and take it all in. This old lady of a hotel has charm out the wazoo. It also needs a bit of coddling, but the staff does everything within their power and then some to make it right. For a fairly affordable stay in paradise, you will do yourself a favor by booking your stay at Laguna Beach Surf Lodge and let the team and the property work its magic. We cant wait to return.

We booked a king room advertised as ocean-facing and were assigned Room 302. Unfortunately, the experience did not match what was presented online. The room layout was different from the photos, and the balcony was shared with another group, so it was not private as expected.

Privacy was also a concern, as the window blinds were thin enough that someone could easily see through them. Additionally, it was quite noisy in the mornings, which made it difficult to rest. There was no TV in the room, which wasn’t a major issue, but we had hoped to relax and unwind in the evenings.

That said, the staff was wonderful, gracious, and very accommodating throughout our stay.

Great location above a beach with easy stair access to the sand and terraced areas to sit and enjoy the view. Staff was very friendly (shout out to Tyson at the front desk and Gabe, the valet!). My room (519 above reception) has recently been remodeled and has a partial ocean view. A bit of street noise from PCH will affect sleep if you keep a window open. Some rooms are apparently not renovated. Friends staying in 308 reported at outdated bathroom. Walking distance to shops and restaurants. Good value for the money in an expensive area.

We visit Laguna at least 3 times a year, and have never stayed at Laguna Surf Lodge so we weren’t sure what to expect. But we had the most amazing experience, the services was 5 star and so was the room. The views absolutely took our breath away. We had dinner reservations at the Montage but decided to cancel and enjoy the balcony of our room instead. The hotel also was in a great area, not too far from the downtown shops and restaurants.

The staff were friendly and provided good customer service, which I appreciated. However, the overall stay was extremely uncomfortable. The room did not have a microwave, requiring me to go to the lobby to use one, which was highly inconvenient. The room 410 had very poor sound insulation — I could clearly hear every footstep from guests upstairs, as well as housekeeping noise before bedtime and early in the morning. As a result, I was unable to get proper rest. Given these issues, the price paid was not worth the stay. This level of noise, inconvenience, and lack of basic in-room amenities is unacceptable.
