This is a great place for a low key, beach-oriented escape from everyday life. Go to the Surf and Sand or Montage if you crave Hollywood flash...this is an old school beach hotel with the luxury of an indoor pool for those clammy days/evenings with the "marine layer" hiding the sun. A short walk to Forest Ave (downtown) and several...

first off i wouldn't understand why anyone would give this place a 1 star because everything is amazing. when people complain about parking well do you know how much land costs at the beach. My experience was great the staff was very friendly and let you do a lot of things ( not limiting you). Although some of the things...

We have stayed at this hotel every summer since 2007. They have since renovated the rooms and they are much nicer, but we love the quiet feel of this beachy hotel. This time we stayed in the Bungalo and it was very nice with a beautiful view. This hotel is a hidden gem. Doesn't look that great from the outside...

Repeat stays are the highest compliment we can earn. Thank you for being our guest for the last six years and appreciating the constant improvements to the property. You have joined the ranks of honored repeat guests, some going back as far as 50 years now.

It took a TON of searching for a hotel somewhere between San Diego and LA that would be right on the beach, with a suite, and at a reasonable cost -- Laguna Riviera met all 3, and I fell asleep to the sound of the Pacific crashing just outside the windows! Sure, this is no luxury haven -- the (included)...

We are so please that your research paid off and you discovered that the Laguna Riviera met all your needs. You make a great observation in that most hotels, while having "beachy" names, are not actually on the beach. Very few between San Diego and Los Angeles are properties actually touching the sand as we do.
Being established in 1948...

Our 3rd visit. We come from noisy, dirty London so this place is Paradise. We like room 507, with its kitchenette and breath taking views. This was the first year we'd seen a pod of dolphins swimming and jumping. I got quite a tan from the sea wind as I read my book and drank white wine on the terrace....

Thank you for the positive review. You came at the right time of year to see both dolphins and whales. However the whales are more difficult to spot as they surface for just a short time then stay under for quite a while. The dolphins you can now see year round, with some patience and a sharp eye. The upper...

This will be our 3 rd year staying at the beach house! We love the owners and how easy they are to work with. We bring 5 families and stay throughout the property, including the beach house. Each family has their own favorite room they rent every year. They room renovations are great! The location is super and an easy...

By this time next year (completion expected June 2012) you will have an incredible space at the beach house for your family get-a-way. The two ocean front terraced patios will be...

My wife and I have stayed here at least four times beginning in 2006. We keep returning because it is an excellent value, and a very relaxing place to be. We love the quaintness! It works well for us. Have never had any trouble with staff. We usually use room 306 because we love the private balcony and the wonderful...

Thank you for the great endorsement. Seeing guests return year after year is the highest compliment we can earn.
Room 306 is in a great part of the building with the large rooms and private decks overlooking the beach. This February has had great weather. Im glad you were able to enjoy it while staying at the Laguna Riviera.

My In-Laws have been staying at the Riv for about 14 years now, wooed from another hotel farther up the PCH. My wife and I joined them in 2006 and loved it.
The first time we went it was a bit rustic. Clean and maintained, but a bit old fashioned (in a good way). The second time the rooms had...

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, it means a lot to us.
We are constantly looking for ways to further enhance our guests experience. For 2012 we have started our slope project and by next summer will have new pathways and terraces to the ocean, a two level surf view patio for room 101, and two...

My husband and I first stayed at the Laguna RIviera back in 1985. Very funky place at that time..but suited our needs. Over the past few years we have stayed 3 times, Rooms 406, 511 and 101. I would recommend all of them with maybe the exception of 406. The hotel recently remodeled and room 511 was beautifully done. Room...

Thank you for the nice review. It is great seeing the observations of a repeat guest who has watched as we continue to improve and upgrade the property.
I would suggest that for fun, you ask to see room 406 on your next stay. It used to be, in my opinion, our least desirable room. Because of that we put...

This interesting property sits overlooking a beautiful sand beach and has tremendous ocean views. A pleasant zigzag garden path leads right to the beach.
That's why you would stay here. Our room inside (#508) was nothing special - a large room with a foldout bed and sofabed; noisy heater-air conditioner; fireplace did not seem to work; fairly standard furniture although...

Thank you for the nice review. The views and, of course, the town is what brings our guests to Laguna Beach and the Laguna Riviera year after year.
Your room, 508 is one of our most popular rooms for couples because of the privacy and it has, arguably, the best view on the property. The bed is a fold out,...
