The 'Reef' tower rooms are literally cantilevered over the sand
Direct beach access with 'Beach Sherpas' who set up your chairs and umbrellas
The Deck restaurant is one of the best sunset spots in Southern California
快速了解: A killer location disguised as a motel that charges resort prices because it can.
@Tonyasachika 的评论:I stayed in this oceanfront room and the view was absolutely unreal. The furniture is simple, but having the ocean right under my balcony made it worth every penny. It was the most relaxing sunset I've ever watched from a hotel room.
住过这里的客人说
The hype
Everyone agrees the location is unbeatable and the staff is friendly, but the rooms are tired and overpriced.
Reality check
You are paying for the view, not the room quality—bathrooms are small and dated.
You plan to spend 90% of your time on the beach or at the bar
You want a social, lively atmosphere right on the water
You are traveling with a group and rent one of the oceanfront Bungalows for the day
清洁与维护
6.5
Housekeeping: Daily service is generally good, but they often miss sand in the corners or dust on fans.
Bathroom hygiene: Functional but dated. Grout can be discolored, and rust is common on fixtures due to salt air.
Maintenance: The biggest issue. Peeling paint, sticky sliding doors, and worn carpets are frequently reported.
Linens & towels: Towels can be a bit scratchy/worn. Linens are standard hotel quality, nothing plush.
Odors & scents: Ocean breeze masks most things, but some older rooms have a lingering musty/damp smell.

There is a mandatory resort fee of ~$33/night that covers beach gear and wifi.

房间精灵
最佳选择
Reef Tower (Oceanfront King) for the absolute best views directly over the sand
Surf Wing for renovated rooms that are slightly quieter than the Seas building
需要避免的房间
Seas Building (especially ground floor) – feels like a motel, faces the pool/highway
Rooms near the delivery alley/dumpsters (ask to be away from the kitchen loading dock)

“I am requesting a room in the 'Reef' tower or 'Surf' wing, specifically on a higher floor to minimize foot traffic noise. Please ensure I am NOT in the 'Seas' building or facing the delivery alley/loading dock.”
常见问题和隐藏提示
预订前您真正想了解的一切。
Is the pool heated?
Yes, there are two pools. The 'tropical' pool near the lobby is heated and nicer; the pool near the Seas building is often in the shade.
Do all rooms have AC?
Yes, all rooms are air-conditioned, which is a rare plus for older Laguna properties.
Can I park my own car?
No. Valet is mandatory and costs approximately $45 per night.
Is it pet friendly?
Yes, they allow up to 2 dogs for a $100 fee per stay.
How close is the beach?
Immediate access. From the Reef tower, you are literally steps from the sand.
Is breakfast included?
No, but there is a coffee maker in the room and Driftwood Kitchen is on-site (though pricey).
内部人士建议
✨
There is a Ralph's grocery store directly across the street—stock your mini-fridge with drinks and snacks to save money.
✨
Ask the 'Beach Sherpas' for chairs early (before 10am) on weekends to get a prime spot.
✨
The 'Village' rooms are cheaper but require crossing the street to get to the ocean/pool.
出发前需要了解的5件事
💡The 'Seas' building feels completely different from the 'Reef' building—like a different, cheaper hotel.
💡You can hear your neighbors' conversations through the connecting doors in some rooms.
💡The elevator in the Reef tower is slow and old; taking the stairs is often faster.
💡The 'resort fee' includes bottled water, but you often have to ask the front desk for it.
💡The carpet in the hallways can be stained and sandy—wear shoes.
