The hype
Guests are obsessed with the new aesthetic and the friendly staff (shoutout to Carlos), but the fees leave a sour taste.
Casa Loma Beach Hotel
$250-650/ νύχτα
Κρατήστε αυτό αν You want a design-forward crash pad directly above Main Beach and don't mind paying a premium for the 'cool' factor.
Γιατί Το Αγαπούν
- Unbeatable location perched on the cliff right above Main Beach
- New 'bohemian coastal' design by Electric Bowery (completed late 2024)
- Nightly vegan cookies from local cult bakery Rye Goods
Γρήγορη Ματιά: A stunningly renovated motel that charges five-star resort prices for a three-star footprint.
Αξιολόγηση από @xoxobrimet: I stayed in Room 130 and honestly, the best part was the fully detached bathroom. If you're traveling with a boyfriend, you know how crucial that privacy is! The king bed was super comfy too. Perfect spot for a stress-free couples trip in Laguna.

Reality check
The AC units can be loud and 'clunky,' disrupting sleep even in the nice rooms.
- You prioritize aesthetics and Instagrammability over square footage
- You want to walk to every major restaurant and gallery in Laguna
- You travel with a dog (very pet-friendly, though with a fee)

“I would love to request a room on the top floor, specifically away from the elevator and PCH street noise. If an Ocean View isn't available, a quiet corner unit would be appreciated.”

5 πράγματα που πρέπει να ξέρετε πριν φύγετε
💡The 'Village' rooms are basically 'Highway' rooms with a view of traffic.
💡The bathroom floors in some renovated rooms have a design flaw where shower water seeps out.
💡You are paying 5-star prices for what is structurally a renovated motel with exterior corridors.
💡The 'resort fee' includes things that should be free, like the in-room safe and coffee.
💡The pool area is small and gets shaded early in the afternoon due to the building's orientation.
