I would like to comment on my stay there for one night on May 13th in room 125. Yes, the property could use some updating but overall, everyone there was accommodating and gracious, rooms spacious, clean and comfortable, the ocean front view was incredible and the location is right in near the middle of town close to shops and restaurants....

The hotel was clean and manageable but not up to the standard of other JDV Hotels or worth the price. The hotel seemed to spend their money in the wrong places. The hotel welcomed us with a hand written card and bottle of wine, but this couldn't cover up for the fact that the hotel needed some serious TLC and... More

This hotel is in a perfect location! Front Desk was extremely friendly and accomodating with my requests. The deck had an amazing menu! The warm pita bread with a delicous hummus and olive mixture that even my boyfriend, who dispises ALL olives, couldn't keep his hands off of and the calamari was very fresh and serve with an amazing jalapeno...

This place is great for a weekend get away at the beach. A little older than expected from the photos but rooms decorated nicely and fit the beach atmosphere! Get the ocean front, it is a must and you can see everything from your balcony and leave it open at night to hear the crashing waives. The Deck had awesome... More

We regularly frequent JDV hotels. We are members and watch for deals from JDV and/or Hotels.com. The hotels are relatively pricey, but worth it. For reference, our other favorite chain is Kimpton. We discovered Pacific Edge after we stayed at the Huntington Beach sister property Shorebreak. We like Pacific Edge because it is pet friendly, Laguna is a vacation paradise... More

Pulling up to the hotel it doesn't look like much, decorating the front lobby again and exterior would help as it feels like a motel at first, don't expect a resort. But dont let that impression fool you, it only gets better from there if you have an oceanfront room awaiting you. It is located in a very convenient location,... More

From the beginning there is no place to park for check in, but after finding a parking meter on the street and checked in we were directed to return to our car and drive around the block to valet parking. Maybe they don't understand the meaning of valet parking which turns out to be in the middle of the street... More

I'm sorry to hear about this. It is disappointing that you were unhappy with your room. Did you ask to move? We're always happy to accommodate those requests whenever other rooms are available. It is also unfortunate that you were unable to find the pools. However, I can assure you that we do indeed have two pools on our property,... More

We have been staying at this hotel, formerly Vacation Village for over 20 years. The new management has made a number of improvements, mostly cosmetic. The main improvement for me is that the beds are so much more comfortable and there is the convenience of room service. The best thing about this hotel is the closeness to the ocean. Oceanfront...
