We loved so much about this hotel. First of all it provides exceptional value in a pricey market, and includes amenities like WIFI and parking in the room price. I did lots of research for our weekend, and if you read far enough, you'll find that many hotels in the area charge for those two things. We also enjoyed being... More

We were met by a very nice front desk clerk who was very accomodating in allowing us to check in early on a very busy Cinco de Mayo weekend. Our room was just across from the pool area and though there was alot of hustle-bustle at the hotel that weekend, our room was very quiet. The room was very clean... More

M y daughter planned her wedding on the beach and 20 of us stayed here. It was such a great time. Super clean, amazing staff, great layout and comfy beds. This is a perfect place for a bigger group. It was walking distance to everything. I cannot say enough about their staff. So wonderful.This is definately a 10. More

So flexible - we can't say enough about their hospitality. We were allowed to keep our car parked for free all day before and after check-out. We were also given full access to the pool/spa and bathroom. They were very hospitable - suggesting that we do that! Not simply saying okay when we asked. Room was nice. Coffee was good.... More

I recently stayed at the Laguna Cliffs Inn for 3 nights. What a pleasant experience...very courteous staff, clean & updated rooms, fun pool and hot tub, great location to Heisler Park, beach and downtown. I found it on web, researched it on Trip Advisor, stayed and was extremely pleased. I'll definitely go back. More

The hotel was in great shape and the room was wonderful, with a great view of the ocean and the park. The best thing, though, was that they take pets and not just take them, but they seem to really enjoy having pets around. Unfortunately, they don't have a lot of pet rooms. And make sure they know you're bringing... More

+ Friendly staff with helpful service, clean room, modest pricing - No in-house breakfast, spacious but somewhat dark, gloomy room, strange bathroom/kitchenette layout Summary: Fine if you just want a bed. Not inspiring if you want somewhere to call home base for a week. More

Spent two nights at the Laguna Cliffs Inn and will spread the word as to how nice a place this is. Rooms were spacious, with lots of little amenities that make your stay more enjoyable. Location is great ... walking distance to many restaurants. The staff was very friendly and had great reccomendations for dining options. Good price and very... More

This hotel is a great value for Laguna Beach. While it is not on the beach,it is just two blocks away. We stayed two nights and took advantage of the second night at half price offer on the web. It is an easy walk to main beach and the downtown area. There is a great pool and hot tub which... More
